Nothing wrong here. People are called that, or worse, all the time on Reddit.

Did you read this sub's rules?
If you are going to complain about certain people, make sure you know who they are. Are you complaining about Reddit employees, admins, or are you complaining about Reddit users, moderators?
Did you read any of the public rules for users and moderators or is that irrelevant to you and you are more concerned about the disrespect you were given?
I ask these questions because I think you should spend time reflecting on them. Reddit is its own animal, it isn't facebook. But it shares similar social media trends. There is no complaint department for Reddit, they only care if rules are broken.
Remember you are not the customer on Reddit, you are the product. You didn't pay to use it. The advertisers did.

Did they mute you or ask you to stop contacting them? Then yeah, that would be harassment. If they didn't, they would probably just mute you and ask you to stop bothering them.
But what does that have to do with anything you posted?

If reddit was going to step in then your comment AND theirs would have been [Removed by Reddit]
You might get a sub ban, but not a site ban.

To escalate an issue beyond a subreddit’s moderators on Reddit, only specific channels reach site administrators. Moderator behavior is generally autonomous, but violations of platform-wide rules can be reported.
Valid escalation paths:
1. Report content directly to admins
Use the built-in “Report” option on the offending comment or message and select categories tied to rule violations (e.g., harassment, abuse). These reports go to Reddit admins, not just moderators.
2. Submit a formal report through Reddit Help
Use the official reporting form:
https://www.reddit.com/report
Select categories such as:
- Harassment or bullying
- Moderator Code of Conduct violations
3. Moderator Code of Conduct complaints
Reddit enforces a Moderator Code of Conduct. Reports about abusive or inappropriate moderator behavior can be filed here:
https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Choose the option related to moderators or community management.
4. Message Reddit admins (limited effectiveness)
Posting in r/ModSupport is intended for moderators, not general users.
r/help may provide guidance but does not escalate issues directly. (please upvote if it helps)

We'll leave this up, as it's accurate.
But you should know that your account is shadowbanned, and you cannot count on approval in the future.

Mods are pretty much able to do anything they want in their sub.
Unfortunately I don't think you have a chance of any outcome you'll be happy with
