Was banned from the sinusitis subreddit for telling (apparently a mod) that a deviated septum absolutely can cause a sinus infection. He got upset and banned me- and even denied my ability to respond to the ban.

Petty? Maybe. But that’s the final straw for me. I just finished deleting all posts and then the account. So sick of arrogant toxic mods.

    I was banned from r/food for pointing out that a “homemade breakfast” posted by a user consisted of a frozen hash brown patty, fresh uncut fruit, a sausage link, and a toaster waffle, and I suggested that it seemed like low effort to call that meal “homemade”.

    Turns out I was wrong about the waffle, at least the user followed up with a picture of a waffle iron and claimed they made it themselves. Fair dinkum, I wasn’t going to press the point.

    A couple of days later I had a multi-paragraph screed from a mod where they went through my post history and complained about things I posted to other subreddits, like r/hotdog, and a permanent irrevocable ban.

      I suppose there is room for interpretation in “homemade.” I feel like if someone did the cooking themselves, then it qualifies. Premade or only a microwave reheat would not qualify.

        “Homemade” usually implies “made from scratch” rather than “warmed up inside the house.” I’d consider a waffle made in a waffle iron as homemade, but not sure how said waffle ends up looking like an Eggo toaster one.
