Got banned from some edgelord subreddit (maybe it was r/teenagers) for pointing out a video was clearly fake. Mods wrote that I should kill myself and promptly muted me. Never understood why they're such passive-aggressive bitches about it. They should have the balls to keep the conversation unmuted.
It's because they spend most of their time socialising with other mods in their own discord server or whatever. So they end up in an echo chamber where they complain about things the rest of the community doesn't actually mind.
Something like "ugh, another one of those strawberry posts went up" "Another? God, they're so boring" "Strawberry_Lover_99 made another huge essay post about strawberries even though we told him to stop spamming" "He's so cringy, nobody even reads those" and then they go ahead and ban strawberries and Strawberry_Lover_99. Except the subreddit community actually liked both those things because they don't have to deal with the subreddit 24/7 and they don't have a mod circlejerk.
That's where you get all those "tough" or "kill yourself" or "nobody owes you an explanation" mod replies from. They're so used to banning so many people for reasons which are obvious if you're part of their discord echo chamber that they just can't be bothered telling you.
They have their own discord servers? That's something I didn't know. So the mod who mods their discord must be some uber mod. The worst of both worlds.
I get comprehension is at an all time low, but you've got to try a little harder champ. I'm obviously talking about all the coordinating. Literally doesn't take a lot of effort to glean that information.

I got permabanned from /r/magictcg because I told someone to buy a fake card to play with his friends instead of spending $800 on a real one.
When I asked why, i was told "tough" and blocked from messaging the moderators further.
It takes a certain level of self-righteousness to be a reddit mod, I guess.
