I downloaded my entire reddit activity and have been going through it slowly, changing all my comments to links back to themselves. Today I got this:

Hello, You have been permanently banned from participating in r/funny because you broke this community’s rules. You won’t be able to post or comment, but you can still view and subscribe to it.

    You can do better than that, I was perma-banned from all of Reddit LOL!

    And for the absolute dumbest reason no less, I was banned by admins for mentioning that Elon Musk and his Boring Company made roughly 20,000 “Not a Flamethrower” devices, which actually are flamethrowers.

    I was banned for stating known true facts 😂🤣

    Fuck Spez

      I got banned for saying I think it’s always a good idea to punch Nazis, like grandpa and LT Aldo Raine taught me.

      For the record, I still think it’s a good idea and Huffman can eat shit

        I’m not here to suggest harm to anyone, but I’m not against you either.

        May I suggest just letting it go and be a friend here on Lemmy?

            If ‘nazi’ was ever a ‘bar’, I just threw it out of the field into the swamp. We’re cool, as long as the bears don’t attack us…

        To my knowledge, you can edit comments after being banned. When I was on Reddit, before I deleted my account, I had been banned from one subreddit I participated in pretty regularly when a new mod joined and needed to be quickly removed for abuse. I was banned mid-discussion, but I was still able to go back and edit my comments in that subreddit.

        You absolutely can edit comments on subs you are banned in. Source: I did it just last month.

    I recently got a shower of notifications for new messages on old threads. Like 7-10 year old threads.

    Weird thing is that these comments where posted that long ago.

    Best I can tell is that they used shreddit or deleted their comments, and reddit just reinstated their original comments.

    Essentially wiping your comments in a patternistic way won’t do anything.

    A lot of subs will ban you for overwriting comments with a script.

    I got banned for saying all remaining republicans are either assholes, morons, or a blend of the two, with the perfect one being a precise fifty-fifty mix. No warning.
