r/Technology mods are apparently afraid of crypto's uncensorability

I'm not a fan of the "I've been Banned!" posts, and I don't recall having been banned before from any subs, but was just banned less than an hour ago from r/Technology. The message from the anonymous mod was not very specific other than saying I "broke the rules". So I looked back at my recent post history, and I had a few posts recently in a post in that sub about Twitter planning on implementing the ability to mark that your tweet not allow any links in the replies.

Most of the redditors commenting flipped out saying it was Elon's evil right-wing plan to keep people from posting links that refute right-wing misinformation during the election. 2 of my comments were deleted by the mods, so I assume those were the offending comments. I can still see them in my history though. The first was a joke:

I guess the left can make their own twitter if they want.

I thought it was ironic, because that's how the left acted and what they said when the right complained about Twitter banning right leaning people and posts, and blocking links to articles that turned out to be true that they called misinformation. I guess that could be against their "trolling" rule. I don't know.

Ironically I'm also banned on twitter which happened well after Elon took over. I'm a libertarian so I have the privilege of being hated by the left and right. Twitter also never told me what rule I broke or pointed out where even though I appealed multiple times. I suspect it was that I broke Elon's rule about promoting other social networks, when I made some posts about memo.cash.

The other post that they deleted on the r/Technology subreddit was about memo.cash in fact:

I'm in favor of blockchain based social media (like memo.cash) that are uncensorable, but the left doesn't want that either, they just want to censor things they don't like.

In fact, such a system could be used to allow uncensorable responses/comments on any site by just adding to the protocol and a browser extension.

I can't for the life of me figure out what rule this comment breaks. They did not delete this comment in the same post:

Some people have used it to drop out of Presidential Elections.

Nor my comment explaining that the first comment about the left making their own twitter was a joke, so they aren't just deleting all my comments. It's those 2 in particular that they didn't like. I find that they hated the one about uncensorable comments and deemed it to be worthy of censoring quite interesting.

I've been meaning to work on some ideas to enhance memo.cash, just been so busy, but this might light a fire under me to finally do something.
