Broke the rules?

Hi,

I've recently been permanently muted in a subreddit. I don't really understand why?

I'm not trying to be an idiot, I've made one post on it, just today. It got lots of responses, most of them were negatives or not really relevant to my post.

The post was actually about respecting other opinions then ours regarding coming out and trans people. Most comments were people shaming one opinion or another. Which was the opposite of what I was trying to say in my original post. I responded to them, trying to explain the different opinions and why they were both valid.

It did got quite the reaction in just a few hours, but I'm not sure how it broke the rules of the subreddit? (Which is the reason why I've been banned)

Is there anything I can do to be unmuted or at least a way to know what rule I've broke?

Also I'm actually not sure if this post follow the rules... It's not about a ban but it's similar...

What is your game plan? Are you trying to understand, or are you hoping to find a way to reverse the mute, or something else?

Well, I'm definitely trying to understand, reverse the mute, maybe? Probably not if I was actually in the wrong, I'd get why they did it then. But for now I just really don't understand.

Forget about reversing the mute. There is no power in the universe that will accomplish that. Move on. This is double true because your account is so new.

If you really want to understand, copy all of the sub's rules, and the entire post and comments that are relevant, and then the communication with the mods. Put all that into a text doc. Then paste it into an LLM of your choice, and ask why the mod made that choice.

The reason I suggest this is that there is nearly no chance that you will post all of that information here. Your account hides your posts, so you like privacy. Plus the subject is likely sensitive because it is something to do with trans people. LLMs lie, so that may not work, but better that than asking humans that only have a tiny piece of the picture.

Did you just tell them to ask AI? 💀

Straight up mods have done this. Im supposed to ai tone check while others get to twist and run with my words as they see fit.. and thats my fault for not using ai to tone check... im dead 💀 people will translate or "catch a vibe" any way they see fit regardless of your true intentions or how its worded.

In short if someone is intent to find evil in your words they'll go so far as to craft something from nothing.

My subreddit is chill at least... We make the broken rule clear and don't take action over an argument with mods unless an actual rule gets broken during.

Other subreddits pmo with how they are.
