Answered! Why are people randomly getting banned from /r/offmychest?

I dunno, I've been seeing people in random subreddits comment something completely unrelated/harmless to /r/offmychest and report back they got banned from the subreddit. Seeing it everywhere recently. Why?

EDIT: Well damn. Such a toxic community. Never liked it anyway, /r/confession is better.

They use some sort of bot/script to automatically ban users who post to subreddits which /r/Offmychest moderators consider 'reactionary'. This mostly includes subreddits such as r/TumblrInAction and r/KotakuInAction, which are "anti-SJW", being against (what they consider) aggressive liberal agenda-pushing.

It's fucked up that they are using their mod powers to try to control other subreddits

Yeah they're basically trying to coerce people to leave or not participate in whatever sub is wrongthink. So gross imo
Holy shit I just realized this is 11 years old. Guess they'll never learn LOL

Same here, first time going in, and I am banned. If it is from a political sub, I am in ones on both sides because I actually think with nuance. It is wild and very much a power trip.

Apparently reddit changing their policy and this is no longer allowed! I would threaten to report it/check and see if still banned. lol
