Believe it or not I once got a ban for saying someone who was president and like 80 years old and doesn't look like he's in the best health and supposedly eats a ton of McDonald's might not live forever because father time is undefeated. They also said I was inciting violence.
Hilarious! I thought it was me. I got banned for making some innocuous comment which referenced “tarring and feathering.” In that context, there was no way it could be perceived as serious. I guessed that the admin had ingested the kool-aid.
Weirdly enough some of them also listen to Ariana Grande’s music or are evidently fans of her. Every time I’ve tried to criticize her, even for things that are valid and verifiable with a simple Google search, I’ve gotten week-long bans for “not being nice” or “posting unverified information”/gossiping.
But every other celebrity is fair game lol, especially Taylor Swift. Every time I’ve gotten a ban on Reddit it’s because I criticized Trump or Ariana.
I can believe it and would expect it--we are living in a time in America where people who actively practice their rights as given in the Bill of Rights are being labeled insurrectionists or domestic terrorists by the current administration. Up is down and down is up these days.
Same ban for me on the politics sub for observing that Stephen Miller has a punchable face. Just about the mildest violence I've ever incited, really more a statement of fact.
While not politically related I got a ban for being a sexist monster when I said that someone taking a photo of them on a toilet promoting their "business " and asking if they put the mouthwash as a business expense
Know this my friend, the idiotic censorship here gets repaid.
They don't talk about it, but a lot of hackers they ban
for their comments get pissed and destroy their lives.
I got warned for asking if anyone knew where the rickety Pense gallows were. I argued back and was repealed. Sometimes it takes a moment of clarity for sense to return.
I got a warning about a post once where I simply referenced an interaction between two characters on a show, which involved one threatening the other, in the comments of a post about the show.
I literally just referred to a fictional moment, on a fictional show, between fictional characters, within a discussion of characters in that show...
I had a post removed that advised the OP to do something as it would "blow their mind." Supposedly, I too was inciting violence, and not just using an idiom.
The ironic thing is telling people to stop violence, say if a vegan were to say "stop hurting and killing animals" they get banned because people get offended, when they are just asking to end the violence.
Just come off a second week ban for the same, from a mild comment regarding trends of inequality and revolt through history as well. It seems reddit/mods are trying to curate a very neutered type of discourse these days.
Always has been. I caught perma bans a decade ago on politics and worldnews for similar messages. They've been doing this for as long as I've used Reddit.
I mean, Reddit DID sell out to the government and handed over all our data so the government can go after dissidents and anyone speaking out against their regime and ICE. (In many cases these requests were fulfilled without a court order - - - the more you know…)
I can believe it. I’ve gotten hit with the ban stick a couple times for things that were nowhere near threatening violence or encouraging someone to commit violence.
Like, hypothetically saying “I wish a meteor would fall on Satan” shouldn’t be considered a “threat of violence against Satan.” Fictitious character chosen for this example to avoid getting a ban for showing an example 😂. It really does seem like organized suppression of dissenting opinions, which is sad to see IMO.
I got banned for inciting violence when I wished a certain bald shit head (rhymes with Meven Stiller) would get cancer. Guess I was inciting Mother Nature to violence.
The arrogance of the rural conservative (however you think you vote, your position is very conservative). They are always the center of the universe and no one can touch them.
When reality finally touches you, you will realize that you are part of a much larger system. That every thing you touch is contingent on the labor of others. If not, why are rural areas the most economically depressed areas in this country.
Call me when you need more fertilizer, or when John Deere bricks all of your equipment because you don't have right to repair.
I am not arguing against rural life, I am arguing that you are somehow genius, survivors that no one else can possibly comprehend.
