Given the size of Reddit, admins don't check when mods abuse users, I had my 10 yr account with 150K nearly permabanned because of a mod banning me from my own countries sub for posting a non offensive meme on the wrong day.
I wasn't logged in on a computer, was using Reddit which showed me my local subs by default and the saved login credentials was a different alt.
I was typing a comment reply, realised I wasn't logged and signed in with the other alt, didn't realise it wasn't another local sub and I got suspended Reddit wide for "ban evasion" and nearly lost a decade old major account because a mod in my countries sub abused their position.
I never retaliated, wasn't rude, didn't genuinely try to evade the ban and nearly lost a decade of activity.
There are a lot of benefits to the fediverse and I plan on hosting my own personal instance soon.
