View submission: On Reddit's moderation system creating a reddit-wide echo chamber
I've been on reddit since 2010 and have never been banned. It's really not hard to not get banned. 3 times in 16 years IS a lot imo.

I really think this depends on the context. Bans can be completely arbitrary, so you can't draw any conclusions from the fact someone has been banned from a sub. There have been subs which used to ban people for not writing their post in a meme format (which would continuously change as a joke).
Whichever way you look at it though, 3 times in 16 years hardly indicates much of a pattern.

Lots of subs ban you just for participating in a different one. Especially some right wing subs, although I think the more extreme once got kicked off reddit. There was definitely a period of time where it wasn’t uncommon to get a message saying you were preemptively banned from a sub you’d never heard of or interacted with.
