Reddit apparently banned Paul McCartney's account after he posted Fonda Theatre concert content to his own subreddit. The ban page is live and confirmed.

Paul McCartney’s official Reddit account seems to have been banned. The account, u/paulmccartney, had just dropped a set of photos and videos from the first night of his shows at the Fonda Theatre. It went straight into the r/PaulMcCartney subreddit. Then, not long after, the whole thing disappeared.

    Are you actively ignoring the similarities between these instances or do you genuinely not understand that they’re both examples of strange and excessive moderation?

      To me this seems like an auto mod fuck up that is quite reasonable and an embarrassing delay of manual review coupled with a classic dogpile.

        If it gets manually reviewed it’ll only be because this dogpile happened. Lots of people get banned like this with no recourse because they aren’t Paul McCartney
