What mundane thing did you say to get banned from reddit? (lemmy.ca)

I've been reading a lot of comments lately about people getting banned for really mundane things. Some as much as upvoting a comment.

My 11 year old reddit account got banned. I still don't know exactly what I said but I believe it was for talking about the US invading Canada and how we Canadians would fight back.

I think the funniest thing was getting banned from r/politics for posting two lines from the lyrics of Kidnap the Sandy Claws - a song from a kids movie Nightmare Before Christmas. A KIDS MOVIE!

"Kidnap the Sandy Claws, throw him in a box. Bury him for ninety years, then see if he talks"

I don't even remember the context of posting it, but it was about Santa Claus. You know, a fictional character.

Pathetic.

I got a temporary suspension / time out for using the word retard in a scientifically accurate, non-offensive context. In a conversation about dealing with mold, I made a suggestion on how to retard fungal growth. Unbeknownst to me, there had been a very recent site wide rule added about using slurs and apparently it's a slur to retard the growth of mold. When you get a suspension like that, there's no way to appeal it (or at least they obfuscate the ability to do so).
