This is reddit mods in a nutshell
Similar story to how I ended up IP banned.
Story about a politician advocating for killings and kangaroo court imprisonments> i make a comment saying "yeah this guy is gonna end up dead if he tries this" > banned for threats of violence. .. appeal, arguing that it wasn't a threat. Just an acknowledgment of political volatility.. suggested mods were politically biased for seeing it that way. > appeal rejected and permabanned
edit - I understand reddit mods dont issue IP bans, but I was hit for ban evasion after abandoning a cooked account that they refused to let me appeal. the ban evasion rule is a "gotcha" to make people , any and all . to go away. I only say that this time it was an IP ban because I had been perma'd before, only to immediately move to a new account I already had made (and on the same device no less).
my guess was algorithms improved /s
Similar for me. In so many words, a JFK quote paraphrased. Make peaceful reform impossible and violent revolution becomes inevitable. Banned at the IP address level.
