That's the funny thing about reddit. You can get banned trivially on a whim of a mod. I've been banned from multiple subreddits that I've never been to. Simply because I posted on another subreddit and that mod found detestable.

My favourite. I'm trans/autistic. I was posting on r/autism being helpful. OP never mentioned their pronouns, just that they have a obgyn and feminine problems. I replied being helpful. but I misgendered them and they flipped out. Permabanned me from r/asktransgender, even though i never posted on it. Then left me a pretty hateful reply on r/autism. Reddit admins give me a warning for hate toward trans people. Despite me never doing any such thing and being one.

Right about the same time r/askreddit had a thread about it being hard not to misgender trans. So i linked this thread, linking an imgur of the reddit admin warning. I went to like 30,000 upvotes. r/autism mods had to reply saying they dont see any hate in my post and that people should stop reporting it.
