Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

I still fondly remember my first perma ban. It was 3 months after signing up, commenting on stories on offmychest. The user was talking about her own infidelity and i told her cheating was wrong and she should just break up to prevent causing unnecessary suffering.
Mods banned me for not being supportive enough. Muted me when i asked about it. Looking back i should have stopped using the website then and there, because it only went downhill from there. At one point i was permabanned off a dozen subreddits i wasn't a part of because i was discussing with anti covid vaxxers about their misinformation and other subreddits said i was participating in subreddits responsible for misinformation and thus, was permabanned from their subreddits now too. The anti vaxxing subreddit didn't ban me, even though i was against everything they stood for, but they were banned by admins later on.
The straw that broke the camel's back was when i was in a news subreddit and a user posted a story with a clickbaity title. I said the title was clickbaity and i spoiled the bait by answering the clickbait on the title. The mods permabanned me and i mod mailed them and said it was ridiculous to ban me for such a frivolous thing. Mods reported me for harassment and admin gave me a 3 day ban. I deleted my account and just stuck to Lemmy ever since, where i haven't been banned even once in a year.
That folks is the 4 year long, 10k karma reddit experience nowadays.
I had pretty much the exact opposite experience; I had several million karma spread across 20 or 30 accounts, and never had a single ban until the API-colypse.
When I mass edited and deleted my comments on my first account, I got permabanned on basically every pro-Spez sub I had ever touched. Then when I did the same with subsequent accounts, they all got site-banned for ban evasion.
I went back a few months later when I heard people had been unbanned and their comments had been restored. And sure enough, all of my accounts were unbanned and had all of their comments unedited and undeleted. Reddit did some sneaky shit to preserve old data and ensure they could actually sell to LLMs.
