Hello, Lemmy community. I left Reddit for good once r/pics decided to permanently ban me because I posted to a Trump subreddit. I am not a Trump supporter, nor should that matter.

What got me banned was a post I made, which linked to a Forbes article criticizing the latest tax break attempting to get passed. It will allow a tax break to everyone who makes $150K or less. But where has that money been going? Social Security and Medicaid.

I posted a quote and a link from the article, was predictably downvoted for it, and I was done with it. Days later, the ban happened.

When I tried to contest the ban, I was muted for 28 days. For my innocuous comments in one subreddit, I was permanently banned from another.

This all happened today. Since the muting, I deleted my Reddit account and will not be going back.
