Yup. I was perma banned from /r/politics over on Reddit years ago for using this word in a way that had nothing to do with people.

It was used in a literal manner, with the definition of how I used it meaning "to delay or hold back in terms of progress, development, or accomplishment."

I tried to appeal, and I was labeled "ableist". It was the dumbest shit I've ever experienced on Reddit prior to the piggy ruining the platform.
