Syncretic we both know reddit has a lot of problems but really if "Sometimes, though, it's used to silence dissent or cover up their mistakes." was close to the truth they would have shadowbanned me ages ago.

I don't really know a lot about you, but your name seems to ring a bell for being controversial. However, once you become popular enough/visible enough, banning you gets really hard. Every time they let something slide, that precedent moves the line just a bit further back.

So if you have become sufficiently visible and known for "causing drama", it actually becomes harder to ban you.

So you might be a bit of a special case.
