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.

My three notable bans:

  1. Banned from politics for quoting the Constitution on treason punishment
  2. Banned from gym for arguing with a "pro" claiming there are no stupid exercises and bad form doesn't exist.
  3. Banned from child free for saying not every one that is child free hates children with the passion of a burning sun and wants them all to die.

When Epstein was sent to prison and was in protective custody, I suggested that he shouldn't have special treatment and belonged in genpop.

Banned for advocating violence against someone.

May that mod have a spasm and faceplant hard on a gravel road, then be forced to drink cold hot-dog water while listening to Baby Shark at high volume on an endless loop. And may all their teeth fall out but one, and in that, may they have a toothache.

I am permanently banned, for using the term "kick rocks and pound sand," which is just American for "there's nothing you can do." An excuse to get one more leftist off the platform.

I got permanently banned for insinuating Donald Trump was a pedophile. I appealed and they blew me off, no response. Tried to sign up for another account and got immediately IP banned for ban evasion.

Id been on the platform for 14 years and had over 1M comment karma. Somehow the last 14 years of my contributions to the site never caused anything, not even so much as a subreddit ban, but pointing out that Donald Trump is a sexual predator was a bridge too far for them.

I find it curious that Reddit Admins are trying to limit discussion of the factual statement that our current president is a documented child rapist. Guess the investors theyre courting are probably in the files, or at the very least, dont see nothin wrong with a little pedorasty.

Reddit is quietly pivoting to become a Conservative platform, with lots and lots of monetization.

Banned from gym for arguing with a “pro” claiming there are no stupid exercises and bad form doesn’t exist.

But what was your stance on the number of days in a week?
