I have a 13K+ karma account on reddit that was banned from a subreddit of a very well known desktop environment, because I pointed out things that were happening and they just didn't like the fact that I was pointing them out. This, after having a history of contributing to said desktop environment for 10 years.
I messaged the moderators asking for a reinstatement, and not only the ban was not lifted; the mods taunted me via DMs.
Well, no problem. I just was helping people use Linux and that desktop environment better, and also helping to clarify many myths and misconceptions that were formed over the years in that desktop environment. I just left the subreddit and as someone here said, the only winning move is not to play.
Some people are just idiots and whatever power they have gets to their head. It's human nature.
