Welcome to Saidit. I think you will come to see that outrageous ban as a mixed blessing. Reddit really does suck now so I hope you'll find this growing community to your liking. There are so many new subs, I can't keep up.

I do. I have come to really like saidit in the short time I've been here. It's got the benefits of a small sub, where I actually recognize the contributors instead of them being rando users and the people are surprisingly intelligent and open to dissenting opinions. You won't say the wrong thing here and get downvoted into oblivion, or banned, like reddit.

Although reddit can't actually ban anyone permanently. As a former reddit mod we had some real issues with problem users because people can just whip out a new name. If they actually IP ban you, you can use a VPN. They can't stop you from being on there and generally they don't care to even try besides making a token effort.

Saidit is better than reddit but the admins here also censor content. s/debatealtright has been taken off the front page because the admins didn't like the content.
