I was banned for "violence" as well. Specifically referring to child molesters. I saw people saying the same type of shit about other types of people (capitalists, bad drivers, etc.) and nothing happened to those posts but make 1 comment suggesting an actual child molester deserves to suffer and you're not welcome there. Makes you wonder why the admins are so concerned about protecting them... Anyway fuck that website.
I made a comment about punching a Nazi.... got banned. Meanwhile, some of the most virulent Antisemitic shit I've ever seen was getting posted and some of it hit the front page.
That platform is going to follow twitter into the shitter in short order.
I moved to Reddit during the great Digg exodus.
Last year I had the exact same experience with the same subject in a r/Europe forum. I decided after the temporary ban that I wouldn’t use Reddit. Deleted my beloved Redditisfun App and never looked back.
it was a nice place before it was took over around Brexit
