The incompetence of Reddit staff in recent years has especially impressed me

Tell me about it, I just got a 7 day ban of promoting hate on a samsung sub and my comment had nothing to do with it lol. Some guy decided to randomly abuse and harass me, I reported him and he obviously reported me. I notice he got banned right away but days later so did I for nothing? Lol shows how incompetence and in shambles that the new mods are in.

    Ooooh yes. Something similar happened to me out of the blue back in January. I commented, verbatim:

    Random fact that I recently learned and thought was kind of cool. One of the very first responses of your body when you get a cut or infection is to synthesize hydrogen peroxide in the area that signals your white blood cells to rally to that area.

    I then linked to Science Daily and Harvard articles about it.

    Temporary ban for "Harassment," citing this comment.

    Later on I incurred another infraction and my account was permabanned, citing my previous strike as justification for the permanent ban. Smfh. 250 characters to appeal...

    Meanwhile these idiots excused cesspools like The_Donald for years. Meanwhile I report a person being objectively racist (Calling them "out of control" and "absolutely feral savages") and... They reviewed it not once but twice and found nothing wrong. LOL.

    I wrote this all up in a medium article in more detail but I'm half-tempted to send all my screenshots to Fidelity and some news outlets for shits.

    I was permanently banned from r/militaryporn for pointing out that MRAP was the name of a family of vehicles and not of a single particular one. Some former marine took strange emotional offense at this and spewed a lot of personal insults at me as I linked details a few times to the history of the program. The person commenting at me got extremely vile and an uncalled for, while also being confidently wrong. I just linked facts and didn’t insult in response.

    Then I was perma banned. Tis a silly place.

    If you're using a Samsung at this point it's safe to say you hate yourself lol

    Edit - /s because apparently the joke was lost. I could care less what phone anyone uses. You do you.
