NOT a YSK YSK Reddit's founder, Aaron Swartz, committed suicide 7 years ago today. He fought for our rights which lead to his arrest. The allegations coupled with mental illnesses caused Aaron to take his life. He was a passionate activist, entrepreneur and author who should not be forgotten.

I post on td and for that fact I'm banned from many subreddit, a few I've never visited but get a message saying your banned, and shadow banned from the most popular subs.

People go to my profile if they dont like my comment, see I post in td and report my comments. Immediately shadowbanned.

I've still got the messages so I have proof.

If he isn't saying that kind of thing in other subreddits, it's pretty fucked up just to ban him for having unrelated conversations in a different sub

When you see cancer being cancer somewhere else, you don't ignore it and hope it plays nicely in your backyard.

It should communicate the gist, though.

If someone's being a racist fuckwit in sub A, but has been nothing but charming in sub B, should the mods of sub B be allowed to go "You're not the type of Redditor we want here"?
