He banned me for posting a news story I wrote about Rep Ayanna Pressley's community meeting and warned me if I tried a work around he'd ban me from the whole reddit site. I am happy to hear I am not the only one.

Why? I’m sure the ban was unreasonable but I’m curious what excuse he used to ban you.

You cannot write your own news stories. You only post news from recognized sources.

Great, so no independent journalism I guess. He also banned any news site with a paywall, so you can’t use most recognized sources either. The Boston Globe account said they’ve been trying to post non-paywalled articles and got banned and treated with hostility.

Are you fucking serious? There's a term we used in back in the day. It's not used much anymore, but this is exactly what it is: Nazi Moderation. Completely unhinged. Massive yikes.
