Bye Reddit

Yesterday, CBSNews posted an article about the 60 or so South African refugees boarding a plane to the US. Someone commented something like, "So we're deporting Venezuelan and El Salvadoran refugees, but bringing in SA refugees?" I commented on top of that, "I dunno, something didn't seem white." The post got deleted and I got a 3 day ban for violating rule #1, hate speech (or some shit like that). I one-upped them and uninstalled the reddit app. Good luck in your future endeavors.

I got banned from Reddit for stating the biolocal difference between sexes

I particularly used physical strength and reproductive system to prove them wrong.

They didn't like the argument of uterine prolapse when heavy lifting at any workplace that requires physical strength.

BTW I'm a woman too, used to be a feminist but they became a joke now

I got banned for suggesting (as a joke) that someone stab some bagpipes

I called malaria trump a whore.

Like, she fucked a decrepit orange ogre for money.

Edit, lol, malaria. Keeping that. Fitting.

On a post about a local company not wanting to serve LGBT folks... i said, vote with your wallets. Let the free market decide their fate. Apparently anything short of wanting to burn the place to the ground is considered bigotry.

Suggesting anyone wearing one of Kanye’s new swastika shirts, be punched immediately.

Someone else posted that they wanted to fire Bezos off in a rocket never to return. I replied that it would be more appropriate to float him down the Amazon. My comment (and only mine) was banned for "inciting violence".

I stopped keeping track I also haven't logged in for almost two years.

I just said I wanted to see more CEO blood in the streets. Perfectly harmless sentiment imo.

I got banned more than once for literally symmetrically repeating a comment calling to violence, inverted. The original comment's author wouldn't get banned, I would. Right of Sunnis to genocide everyone else in the Middle-East is protected, but not right of anyone else to genocide Sunnis, for example. Turkish nationalists are just as protected as Sunnis. Also a few emotional comments about people sticking their nose where they shouldn't and the reaction to that not being protest got me banned. All kinda political.

Also a few comments which were not specific enough to get their meaning without participating in a discussion, which nobody did, unlike hitting the report button. Typical Reddit.

Basically it's everything which can be interpreted as calls to violence or support of bigotry, except for approved kinds of violence and bigotry, and these are allowed of all degrees, and I mean all. You get banned for a slur, while someone else casually calls for genocide and doesn't get banned.

TLDR - talking politics in such places is useless and unpleasant.

I got banned for saying the dude that cut a guys throat with his stake should get banned for life from the game of hockey and got to jail. The mod banned me for 3 days and I said I stand by my comment and then I got a permaban. Fuck reddit.

I still do not know why I was banned. I just got some generic "broke reddit TOS". When I appealed asking what rule I broke and promised to not break it again they instantly denied the appeal with no further explanation.

Fuck em.

Since the Digg Exodus, I've gone through a dozen accounts on Reddit, typically for strongly disagreeing with figures in various administrations. I'm too old anymore to care.

I’ve been permabanned multiple times for fairly innocuous comments. The most egregious was getting banned for typing “whyteboi victimhood.” Mod said I was racist/sexist. I am a white male.

My most recent ban was for threatening violence for typing that I wish I could “stomp out” anti-intellectualism. Such a violent threat from me.

I got a temporary suspension / time out for using the word retard in a scientifically accurate, non-offensive context. In a conversation about dealing with mold, I made a suggestion on how to retard fungal growth. Unbeknownst to me, there had been a very recent site wide rule added about using slurs and apparently it's a slur to retard the growth of mold. When you get a suspension like that, there's no way to appeal it (or at least they obfuscate the ability to do so).

Haven't been banned, but the bastards did make the reddit Boost app useless about a week ago. I switched to RedReader, but I don't like the app as much, so I don't stay on it as long now. Been using Lemmy a lot more.

I am guessing it was the second half. "You pulled a three year old account of the mothballs to post something that stupid? Your mother should have gone through with her Planned Parenthood appointment."

did you just say santa isn't real! 😆

I forgot to add a photo to a post I wrote, so I deleted it and reposted with the image. It was about a tree seedling. Shadow banned.

I said i hope Jill Stein bangs her shin on a coffee table.

There was an edgy meme posted by le redditors about something like 'why don't we just kill sadness from inside out' and replied 'yeah with a gun' and I got perma banned for harassment.
