I just got a ban for “encouraging violence”. Someone asked “what will you do to celebrate when he dies?” Someone else started talking about how they have a fantasy about getting the death note and how they’d put that to use. I chimed in with my silly fantasy of using a seance to end politicians’ careers by getting them possessed by the ghost of GG Allin, and enjoying the mayhem that would ensue.

So, anyway, right after that, I found out that all the people who were so transgressive to have actually liked that comment of mine can, as of a couple days ago, expect punishment as well. How draconian.

And so that was that. No sense in being lorded over on the internet by the same people who run HOAs. It’ll be fun watching Reddit flush itself down the toilet from over here, I expect.

      I got my perma ban from saying “only a matter of time before Elon gets united healthcare’d” was on there since 2006.

        Damn, is there really that many people getting banned? I’ve heard a bit about what’s happening but didn’t think it was a widespread thing.

          This was announced by admin so it’s definitely widespread. Turns out they hadn’t even considered that someone can edit a post or comment and that you could be banned for upvoting something which, at the time, had no “violent” content.

      What if Marjorie Taylor Green already tripped and swallowed her head?

      Her being inside-out would explain a lot.

      Badge of honor, I reckon.

      This is clearly a credible threat! The reddit community must be protected from this dangerous rhetoric.
