Perma-banned on r/btc Reddit
I am admittedly not very active on Reddit. But now and then I do drop some links via my 3-year-old account to stories about economic freedom and crypto with a brief comment just to share. I've received a decent amount of upvotes and tips and comments considering the sparse posting, and of course engaged in the comments section when it seemed appropriate.
I was glad there was a Reddit where even "normies" (in terms of not being super active on the site) could post, and where the moderators weren't on a power trip as with the now infamous r/Bitcoin censorship.
I wasn't a "super user" at all, but of course am part of the greater BCH community, without a doubt.
Now, sadly, I've been permanently banned (and accused of lying, and had extra accusations piled on) by a single moderator who seems to just not like me, due to a mistake I made in posting. I feel disappointed about this. And very frustrated, to say the least. I'm not going back to Reddit. I don't feel it's my kind of place, especially now. Maybe it never was and that's why this happened. Was I a Reddit imposter? Maybe. I never thought I was being abusive, or merely link farming. As I said, people seemed to react positively to my articles.
Maybe I was though, according to Redditor ethos?
Anyway, for everyone's info, here's what happened. I don't think this is a good way to welcome people to the Bitcoin Cash community.
Tip for Reddit mods: If someone is unwelcome because they do not post often enough, please make what posting/commenting frequency is recommended to stay in your good graces a clear metric. People can go through my history of posts and see they are always about economic freedom and crypto in some way.
I would have had no issue with some direct, respectful dialogue about community ethos if I was running afoul. I get that. Instead I was called a liar and snarkily told to take a hike. And also that "there is no cost on your side." How do you know there is no cost to me? Nuts.
As I say. I won't forget it. Don't brag about being better than r/Bitcoin, either. Anyway, maybe I shouldn't have gone there to share my shit in the first place. I'm not welcome. Tried too hard.
To the other mod that was kind and human, cheers.
I try. Can't please everyone. Happy that my words were seen as kind and human.
