Paul McCartney’s official Reddit account seems to have been banned. The account, u/paulmccartney, had just dropped a set of photos and videos from the first night of his shows at the Fonda Theatre. It went straight into the r/PaulMcCartney subreddit. Then, not long after, the whole thing disappeared.

That tracks. You pissed off someone who had a connection with a mod and/or admin. Been there!

I got banned once for dunking on IG travel trends and the mod involved was dumb enough to PM me threatening me.

It's just pathetic how emotional and over reactive people saying crap on the internet they don't like. I don't agree with a lot of stuff but I see no reason to censor people for enjoying musicals or whatever else I hate.

I once got banned in a bunch of subs, including some I wasn't even in, because a mod didn't like a comment I made in a sub that wasn't even theirs. They just didn't like it, so they banned me in all the subs they modded. Fucking weirdos.

Considering all mods are probably mirrors of antiwork mod the entire world got to see - zero surprises there.

You see, I never had a single comment moderated by the anti-work people, and I made a lot, a lot of them very extreme comments. Like illegally so. But many other subs I have had that same problem. I used to use revveddit to see which Subs were secretly silencing me, which included pics, and so many others. Mostly Auto mod bullshit I presume. Auto mod which I trust is corrupted by the government for Israel and a number of other issues.

Referring more to physical looks and lifestyle of the head mod there.
