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 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.

I knew that the people running the show were scumbags, but i guess I never knew they were MAGA scumbags.

I should have made the switch after their API horseshit, but I guess a lesson learned late is better than not learning the lesson at all.
