u/kometes is permanently banned from r/funny

I downloaded my entire reddit activity and have been going through it slowly, changing all my comments to links back to themselves. Today I got this:

You can do better than that, I was perma-banned from all of Reddit LOL!

And for the absolute dumbest reason no less, I was banned by admins for mentioning that Elon Musk and his Boring Company made roughly 20,000 "Not a Flamethrower" devices, which actually are flamethrowers.

I was banned for stating known true facts 😂🤣

Fuck Spez
- I got banned for saying I think it’s always a good idea to punch Nazis, like grandpa and LT Aldo Raine taught me.
  
  For the record, I still think it’s a good idea and Huffman can eat shit
  
  I'm not here to suggest harm to anyone, but I'm not against you either.
  
  May I suggest just letting it go and be a friend here on Lemmy?
- That’s a stupid reason for banning people, but weren’t those just propane torches? You can buy one at any hardware store and tape it to a nerf gun to make a similar toy. While they do “throw flames”, I wouldn’t really call those flamethrowers, which usually utilize liquid fuel and are actually weapons.
  
  The flame is something like an inch thick, around or maybe even over 6 inches long, and the thing actually does look similar to a Nerf gun.
  
  You really think that kids won't get their hands on these things and do something stupid?
- I can beat that
  
  I was permabanned from Reddit for posting a Google Streetview link..... of a public layby
  
  I still dont even know why
  
  Maybe you doxed some trees since people and licence plates are censored on google maps anyway?
  
  Welcome fellow Lemming.
does this ban block you from (continuing) to change your existing comments?
- Not in the slightest.
- To my knowledge yes.
- There’s a post on r/WallStreetSilver about how the mods are changing policies. The top comment is anti-mod and features an edit stating “they permabanned me for saying this”
  
  I shit you not, right wingers will buy any obvious lie. You can’t edit comments after being banned.
  
  To my knowledge, you can edit comments after being banned. When I was on Reddit, before I deleted my account, I had been banned from one subreddit I participated in pretty regularly when a new mod joined and needed to be quickly removed for abuse. I was banned mid-discussion, but I was still able to go back and edit my comments in that subreddit.
  
  You absolutely can edit comments on subs you are banned in. Source: I did it just last month.
I recently got a shower of notifications for new messages on old threads. Like 7-10 year old threads.

Weird thing is that these comments where posted that long ago.

Best I can tell is that they used shreddit or deleted their comments, and reddit just reinstated their original comments.

Essentially wiping your comments in a patternistic way won't do anything.
- Same for the last 4-5 days.
And?
A lot of subs will ban you for overwriting comments with a script.
Permanently Deleted
- I got banned for posting a wholesome meme that got 4100 upvotes before the hammer came down.
