I was just interested to see how much had changed since December when I was randomly banned with no reason given and the appeal went unheard.
I was just planning to browse and not log in but it immediately gave me a pop-up notification to create an account.
Curious if it would allow me, I submitted the application and it went through without problem.
I didn’t want to draw too much attention to myself, so I didn’t comment or post for the first month.
Then, I made another mistake. I got invested, again and it didn’t take long before it inevitably became political.
I posted a reply to someone who had clearly been chugging the orange kool-aid. Nothing terrible, just what I thought was objective reality, easily verifiable through past reporting through many credible media outlets.
But, reddit is going to reddit. Somehow objective reality has been classified as hate speech on reddit.
I’m not surprissd. Just a little disappointed.
I appealed, I do not expect a reply.
Previously, I had been on reddit for 10 years without much incident.
This time I lasted only 2 months
Edit:
They manually reviewed it and kept the ban!
i don’t even understand what is happening in the screenshot. the comment you replied to seems to make the case that he is at fault, and used it as an example to someone defending someone else who incited something but didn’t actively participate. what’s the context here?
Yeah, they attempted to go abstract to try to prove I don’t entirely know what
i think they either agree that he was culpable or they used the assumption that you would find him culpable as an argument that inciting violence does make one guilty to some degree.
the problem is there isn’t really any evidence that the left called for his head (especially a head that big; even the shooter knew he couldn’t penetrate that dome with mere bullets), and certainly not anyone of significance… while the jan6 was incited by the most powerful person in the world.
For every legit user banned for even casual talk of violence against Christian fascists, they replace them with a dozen fucking bots.
or, reddit is only going after the lowest hanging fruit, and leaving propaganda bots mostly untouched. they only do something when public complaints makes a stink about these bots. i noticed this trend, propaganda bots are rampant, but there more or less very little way to remove them. the massive purges, filters have been going after real users, OF accounts, or link sharing types. by the way it only sets back the latter 2 anyways temporarily, while IRL who arent using ban evasion methods are permanently banned.
Hey be careful with that rhetoric man, under Trump’s new definitions you could be considered a terrorist. Sic semper tyrannis.
Sometimes i’d like to report the reddit admins for “hate”. One of the most abused rule they have.
To further clarify on the point you were making in the post, he didn’t just mean he was going in spirit. He fully intended to go, but he was prevented from going by people who knew when to tell him “no.” He even physically grabbed his driver and the steering wheel of the car in a tantrum insisting that he be taken to the Capitol instead of the White House.
Everyone should have watched the January 6th Commission hearings, but now it’s like they basically never even happened.
they sanewashed the hell out of it, plus most of them got a slap on the wrist from 1/6. i think one older lady admitted she was wrong to go 1/6, and denied her “commute sentence” because it was the right thing to do.
The two worst things you can do on Reddit: Discuss politics, discuss politics in mainstream subs
Fash sympathizing human refuse
America is, and has been, steeped in violence for so long that I always get a kick out of it when they get all “fainty” and “weak in the knees” when you type about violence. Hell, they wouldn’t even show us Osama Bin Laden’s body because they thought it would collectively “upset” us yet there are network serial killer crime dramas on TV every day of the week. Now that’s entertainment! What an interesting and dissonant time to be alive.
That’s worthy of a ban!? What a dumpster fire. Stay away from reddit. It’s honestly surprising it’s even worse since I left…
How were you top 1% commenter in only 2 months?
deleted by creator
Surprised me too
Apparently everyone is a top commenter now
I suspect they include lurkers in their statistic. All you have to do to be in the Top 1% is be in the Top 50% of people who actually comment.
Same here. Ive been banned twice for no reason and no answer from reddit
Not following. Sounds like you were both in agreement? Or was the post above that relevant?
I think the context of the original thread was something about Greta Thunberg and trying to say she is a terrorist for going to Gaza or something ridiculous and they tried to use the Trump not actually going to the Capitol building against the argument that Trump was responsible for the Jan 6th insurrection
I don’t know, I was just trying to neutralize the crazy with objective reality
First post floats like indecisison, a common tactic to take down known facts.
First comment absolutely was saying Trump was responsible even though he didn’t go inside himself. Yet OP and others downvotes it and and upvoted the same sentiment in OP’s comment.
Why OP was banned, I have no idea. There was no hate in the comment in the screenshot. I’m assuming it is the same comment in the link.
The idea is to spread doubt where there should be none.
Not everything is a conspiracy.
This is not about conspiracy, it is how the Kremlin operates, for example.
Yeah, same here. The second question is rhetorical. He was clearly in agreement. Not sure why that guy was down voted or why OP was banned.
I got banned for racism … for making fun of Vogons. They’re not even a race, and more importantly, they don’t even exist.
My cat’s name is Clark, which gradually sometimes became Clark-a-doodle, which became Doodle, which became Doodlebug, which became Bug and occasionally Buggle.
When I’m frustrated with him, it’s now sometimes Frettled Gruntbuggly.
My cat Martha somehow became “Muffin Sweetie”.
My cousin’s permaban was for saying “I won’t let a single Saiyan live” in a dragon ball sub. Saiyans are not real.
And then actual, unchecked racism is rampant.
And then actual, unchecked racism is rampant.
This is the key. Moderation is both heavy-handed AND not fit for purpose.
Facebook had the same problem a few years ago, and they “fixed” it by not bothering to moderate any more.
REDDIT is heading towards that. it will be a clone of X ANd facebook. the admins arnt bothering to listen to most appeals anyways.
Don’t forget reddit also allows pedophilia from creeps like srgrafo to have massive subreddits with over 100k people in it.
Wait, srgrafo’s a pedo creep? When did that come out?
He is is tje guy behind r/Chloe which is underage anime girl porn he draws.
I guess I just didn’t connect those dots. I figured drawing people skinny was just a stylistic choice.
who is this srgrafo person?
What?
Don’t worry bro, it’s just anime girls, they only look 14, they are actually adults so it’s fine.
-srgrafo
Its definitely Ai moderating that, it look for key phrases or words, like “live, or something referring to unalive”
I hope you didn’t threaten to feed a vogon’s grandmother to the ravenous bugblatter beast of trall?
No, that would have been an automod ban – and perfectly understandable.
Fuck Reddit
And fuck Spez
he looks like an alien.
