They have bots roaming the site, banning people, seemingly at random. I went from never having been banned on reddit on a 10 year account, to banned for 3 days twice, and then permanently banned all in the span of a month.

And when did this happen? The week after the IPO went public.

And what kind of messages got me banned? Well one of them was in /r/Cleveland where a guy posted a security camera picture of the guy who stole his bike. I made the comment that the theif looks like a guy who stole MY bike in the early 90s, and that maybe this was his son. Keeping it in the family business.

I was banned for that comment for "Harassment and abuse of reddit users". The action was performed by an AI bot. If I wanted an appeal I could appeal. So I did. It SAID the appeal was handled by a real human. They still sided with the bots decision, which tells me that it wasn't handled by a real person.

So now I'm here. Just don't steal my bike, ok guys?

Hey dude, I've been looking for you for so long, since my Dad stole your bike and that was a turning point in my life, since I made a point of stealing your son's bike.

It is said that this will continue for generations until the seventh son of a seventh son, who'll transform into an upside down toothless vampire who likes garlic.

In order for this prophecy to come true, please ensure all your progeny keeps buying bikes.

PS Welcome to Lemmy!

That's hilarious. They don't deserve you.
