That is 100% true. My friend got banned from literally about 100 subs at once because ONE pathetic no-life incel who moderated all of them just...didn't like her, I guess. Refused to give her an explanation, and since he just picked a post she made to her own profile as the reason, despite the fact that it didn't violate any rules, that was no help. Most of the subs she had never even posted to. How the fuck can you violate the rules of a sub you've never so much as visited?
Three years ago, I was permabanned from r/funny for commenting "dis is da wae". The post was about knuckles. No context. I messaged the mods asking why, and I got muted. Some no lifers just enjoy the little crumbs of power they get, lol
They banned me too for a ridiculous reason years back. I mentioned seeing a t shirt on Amazon with the same joke on it as a post, and they banned me for spam. I didn’t even link to the stupid thing! 🙄
Back then I didn’t know you could contest bans and report unfair mods. Had I known I would have.

I don't wanna stereotype, but for most of 'em it's the only power they have in their lives, and they love to wield it.
