I'd argue mods as well. My account was OG and in a local subreddit after a local incident occurred, I suggested that the issue had made me reconsider my views on a subject. Pretty innocent. The mods banned me from the sub, when I replied why and gave a couple of paragraphs about how it's my local area and it would be quite upsetting to be banned over a non-offensive view, they responded with "F$£D OFF" and then my account was permabanned for "Spreading Hate or Violence".

I think I would have been able to goto the website and appeal, but I didn't really want to be part of it any more in the end. A year later, I don't miss it. I just consider it dead.

lastitude's comment below is flagged (probably because of the source), but it was an important and newsworthy event that adds to your point.

The people who moderate the website aren't capable of behaving impartially. The admins who are supposed to moderate the platform are selected from that group. The result is unsurprising.
