I would share my own stories of bans, but they're so ridiculous (including all four of the "strikes" that led to my account ban by the admins) that I wouldn't expect anyone to believe it without evidence, and it all happened many years ago (but I fully expect things are even worse now).
Although I do notice that r/science is apparently down to "only" about 1300 moderators. I'm pretty sure they broke 2000 at some point. (The large majority of those have been around for at least 5 years; it seems that the Reddit UI caps the displayed age, because I recognize names from much more than 5 years ago.)
All these sorts of bans are ridiculous. I got banned from a EU sub because I said my mother was polish, then someone doxxed out more info about me, and then I got criticism for not being a true Pole. This came only from me saying my mother was Polish. Fucking lunatics.
