Got banned on /r/PlaystationClassic for listing the actual contributions of the Bleemsync team (write a PC based GUI, elaborate on the work of others, write in some failbacks, fix a readme error), after complaining, that their selfbranding efforts are outrageous (take over the bootscreen with their logo, take over the default skin with their logo) compared to what they have actually delivered so far - in terms of moving the scene along.
Reason given for the ban was:
Hi. Joking aside, I think you have had your say and frankly we don’t appreciate the aggresive and negative attitude towards other community members, let alone the team.
Not anything I said, but actually "the attitude".
Swingflip (probably responsible for the ban) doubled down in here on "attitude being hurtful":

The two aspects he mentioned as far as their contribution goes (disabling DRM, "safer backup method"), hasnt been released so far. And basically comes down to enabling ssh and ftp connectability via a USB male to USB male cable - which not many people will ever use.
They were overzealous in putting out their branding everywhere - and now are responsible for having their critics banned because of "wrong attitude".
So enjoy their teaser videos and branded themes, and music features, but know - that they are mostly show, and no substance. While taking in other peoples work (not in violation of a licensing agreement - thats fair), and largely being championed for it.
Previous thread, that was "countered" with an entirely made up statement that subsumized other peoples work and efforts within their project umbrella. That was unfair - but reddit eat it up.

To summerize: I was banned because my "attitude" would hurt the "feelings" of their "many contributers", who also created "great themes voluntarily". Thats people demanding safe spaces - and not to be looked at to closely, because it would hurt their believes or public images.
Also - got lovely responses as PMs supporting my position even after the ban - but thats just a nice to have. Still no reaction as to what substantial "fault" I commited, by insisting to tell people twice, what Bleemsync actually did contribute.
The entire "post history" responsible for the ban is within the two threads I linked. There was nothing more.
