I feel ya about the personal spite thing.

My main account got a temp-ban after I had 23 subs perma-banned for "hate speech" ... most of which were private, and empty of content with no subscribers.

About half of the subs had their description set to redirect users to SaidIt, LOL. No content or subscribers in the subs at all, they were my own creations and private. The sub names were definitely the trigger, but it's deliberately deceptive to ban them for "hate speech" when there was literally no content, and I was just squatting on them so that they didn't get repurposed.

Of the other half, the majority were variations of names for a UK charity organization (LGB Alliance). All of them were again my own creation and set to private, had no content or subscribers, and they redirected to a single main sub. The main sub was also private with no content, and the only subscribers were me and a fellow mod friend. We were working on CSS and design, in preparation of giving the sub to LGB Alliance directly.

Every single one of the 23 subs existed in the very state they were still in when my primary sub (LGBDropTheT) was banned in July 2020. It's not like they were a secret from Admins, one click on my profile would show them, and I had communication with Admins in the past while LGBDropTheT existed, and even afterwards with other public subs I modded. It's not like I or my subs weren't on their radar.

All the bans were shortly before the whole pedogate Aimee/Ashton Challenor thing popped off on Reddit, and I have zero doubt I was part of damage control by corrupt Admins and their lapdog powermods.

Aimee/Ashton was hired in December 2020, and the scandal broke in March 2021. My bans happened in February 2021. It's not a coincidence that anything potentially LGB-exclusive or not-pro-trans was determined to be "hate speech" when a pedo-supporting trans-identifying male (trans woman) got hired by the company and started actively censoring mention of his/her name.

Also, Bardfinn did his usual thing, and bloviated lies and and a different spin on it all afterwards in AHS. Gawd I hate that dude.

PS - do you want r/FoxesInSnow back? Since it got renamed to the letter/number ID after your asshole powermod stole it, the sub name is available again. You could recreate it if you're so inclined.

That sounds like they just saw you as a user they don't want and got rid of you. In my case they've followed me around specifically, and apparently are still lurking my old accounts to see if there's anything left for them to ban so they can get their fix. Other /r/WatchRedditDie mods were in similar situations, and we even figured out that we each had a top admin assigned to watch us.

Thing is, I'm still a user on the site and still a mod of other subs. It was VERY SPECIFIC subs they went after, and then used the fact I created/modded them to temp-ban me. Anyway, I don't mean to monopolize your post, I got on a rambling roll in my last comment, but I really just wanted to share that I heard you and understand and have experienced something similar.

Oh shit, you all actually figured out you have personal Admin stalkers? That's both amazing and disgusting at the same time. What the hell is wrong with Reddit, and how corrupt are they. Goddamn.
