To be fair, NYC has both /r/nyc and /r/newyorkcity after some subreddit drama.

Do you know the backstory out of curiosity? I have always wondered about that...

I'm going off memory but there was the one main mod at NYC who didn't allow picture and video posts then started banning people when they complained.

Yup. Years ago I posted one of my photos /r/NYC and it got me in Time Magazine, which was so amazing for my photo career.... now I was banned for a month for posting (what I feel) was similar content. That sub has gotten pretty harsh.

Edit: unrelated. The Reddit admins permabanned my account for no reason. If there is a reason they won't tell me. If you see this and want to vouch for me, please help. I have no recourse but can somehow edit old comments. I'm on Instagram and Twitter @jimmykastner if you want to reach out.

Whoever it was banned me for the stupidest thing, when I tried to ask for an explanation my whole reddit account was suspended

That's exactly what I'd expect anyone who got banned on reddit (and not only on a sub-reddit) to say.

Normally I'd agree but there's a lot of power tripping mods who deserve zero respect

That’s true, they do have their own niches. At least it doesn’t apply to here.
