Not me, but someone on r/TrashTaste got permanently banned from Reddit for posting a tweet.
For context, Trash Taste is a podcast run by anime YouTubers. They had Chris Broad (a.k.a. Abroad in Japan) as a guest and it's safe to say, they're very friendly with each other so of course they'd share content involving and about Chris there. Someone decided to share Chris' frustrated tweet about North Korea throwing missiles in Japanese waters, jokingly suggesting that the Japanese military get some "Patriot missiles" (which I've been told are purely defensive). For the record, this isn't the first time NK has done this, and it's not the first time Chris has been openly frustrated at it.
This ban is ridiculous - it's not like someone is actually being threatened. It's just some grumpy British man living in Japan venting his frustrations over a dictatorship trying to bomb the country he's living in.
The tweet, and the ban image I found, are below.
