That tracks. You pissed off someone who had a connection with a mod and/or admin. Been there!
I got banned once for dunking on IG travel trends and the mod involved was dumb enough to PM me threatening me.
It's just pathetic how emotional and over reactive people saying crap on the internet they don't like. I don't agree with a lot of stuff but I see no reason to censor people for enjoying musicals or whatever else I hate.
Considering all mods are probably mirrors of antiwork mod the entire world got to see - zero surprises there.
I once got banned in a bunch of subs, including some I wasn't even in, because a mod didn't like a comment I made in a sub that wasn't even theirs. They just didn't like it, so they banned me in all the subs they modded. Fucking weirdos.
