Doesn't even really matter, just one case among hundreds of thousands of similar types of bannings I'm sure. Just pissed me off. The censorship is very real.

The OP was appropriately banned from /r/scarysigns as i have just spent about a half hour reading their posts it is now obvious that his post was way off topic and inappropriate in the /r/scarysigns sub.

/r/scarysigns is not a place to post a spreadsheet containing covid death statistics, but instead it is a place to post weird and strange and scary signs, perhaps signs that say "dont go in water, you will be electrocuted and eaten by alligators", or some other similarly weird scary sign.

the OP was appropriately banned.

There was lots of discussion about covid in the thread. It was on the front page of r/all. It was on-topic, and I was not being rude.
