I’m probably exaggerating about the number, I have no idea how many times I got banned - it was for reporting some power-tripping mod post that had comments disabled and telling them what I thought of them. I guess they reported me to the admins for report abuse, then I was getting a notification every second that I was banned from Reddit for about 5-10 minutes. More than anything I just found it amusing and created a new account.
I don’t comment or post on Reddit anymore. Occasionally, I’ll check some niche subreddits, and if there’s someone I can help, I’ll reply to them personally - I’m subscribed to a few small-ish disability-related subreddits, so I feel a bit bad about abandoning those people or trying to get them to move to another community since they’ve already got enough to deal with, so I think what I do is a good compromise.
