Paul McCartney’s official Reddit account seems to have been banned. The account, u/paulmccartney, had just dropped a set of photos and videos from the first night of his shows at the Fonda Theatre. It went straight into the r/PaulMcCartney subreddit. Then, not long after, the whole thing disappeared.

I once got a ban for quoting the current US president. Apparently when a random anonymous redditor says it, it's "inciting violence," but when the president says it, it's "patriotic."

I got several bans for the same kind of thing.

didn't realize that clearly quoting somebody else's words so they could be discussed was me saying and meaning those words myself
