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 a 3 day ban yesterday for "threatening violence or harm" for posting about OP breaking both his arms in a thread bringing up past reddit memes. I had left reddit for almost two years before being drawn back in for a handful miscellaneous subs. I don't think I'll be going back.

Lol.

I literally just got suspended 15 minutes ago for promoting violence for pointing out that America is going to see a rise in terrorism going forward for our actions in the middle east.

No call to violence. A simple statement of fact.

I know how to circumvent Reddit's methods for keeping me out, so I'm already back in with a new account. I have a browser script that re-adds all my subs for me. And I know I'm not shadowbanned cuz I know how to check that. This'll probably be my 50-70th Reddit account in the last decade. Which means Reddit has been trying and failing to keep me off their platform for a decade. I don't even care that it's just a 3 day suspension. I'm not going to be silenced for 3 days.

Fuck Reddit.
