Showerthought: Reddit vs. Twitter bans feel completely different
I got permabanned from a niche subreddit last year for calling a mod's favorite YouTuber "overrated." But on Twitter I got suspended for 12 hours after quoting a politician's own tweet back at them. The difference is on Reddit I felt like I lost a community of 50k people I actually talked to. On Twitter I just shrugged because nobody there knows me anyway. Has anyone else noticed the size of the space changes how much a ban stings?

idk, I mean losing a community stings way more than just losing a crowd.

Right, but is it really about community size or just how much you actually invested? Cause I got booted from a Discord server with maybe 30 people and it stung way worse than losing a sub of 100k because I was in voice chat with those people every night, y'know? Like did you actually know any of those 50k redditors or was it just a lot of familiar usernames you'd upvote?
