Tell HN: A Reddit admin in the Bay Area is abusing their privileges

Just a head's up since the Bay Area probably has the highest percentage of users here.

A reddit admin is abusing their privileges for their personal beliefs.

I found a post in the Bay Area subreddit from r/all. It was about people deflating tires on SUVs. I made two comments, copied below.

All new comments that I make in any sub (including ones that I've been subscribed to for a long time), no longer show up (shadowbanned), and when I click "Random" to discover a new sub, it always goes to r/femboymemes.

My username there is tempMonero123 in case anyone else wants to investigate. I did delete those two comments before I realized the scope of the situation, but I imagine anyone investigating can probably still see them (unless they really are deleted?).

> The wheel pressing down on a flat tire with the weight of a car, causes damage. The wheel has an edge that presses into the rubber when the tire is flat.
