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 got banned from one community ages ago for "being a terrible person". But that was only once, and I post a lot everywhere, so it might just be an outlier mod. IMHO the important difference is that I can't get banned from Lemmy entirely for saying "Luigi Mangione".

I was banned from a users communities that I've never joined because I made a joke about there being far left states on the west coast. Either geography is not their forte or they were ban happy for anyone who doesn't favor the right states.
