Someone made a post with a picture of a blonde haired blue eyed child. The title was “Would you slap this child for 88 million dollars?”
I said “Slap!?!?? I would eat that child’s still beating heart for 88 million dollars.”
Next day I log in to find out I had been temp banned for 7 days for sexualization/abuse of a minor.
I uninstalled Reddit. That was 11 days ago and I haven’t been back. Context is important. Obviously, no one is going to offer me 88 million dollars to eat a child’s heart. Not to mention, do you really want to make deals with people that can offer that to you? I mean, I wouldn’t.
All this has led me to realize. I don’t want to be part of a community with no sense of humor.
I would post a link but not only was my comment deleted. The thread was too I think.
I got permanently banned for wishing violence upon neo-nazis.
Same, funny thing is that the post I said it on did the same thing. Reddit admins are incompetent and inconsistent.
Good. Rules are rules. I hate this reddit thing of it’s ok for certain groups but not for others.
So nazis can wish upon deaths of anyone, when I do the same I get banned. Right, got it
I didn’t say that: First, I don’t regularly see Nazis on reddit, second, it’s nearly impossible to take the term “Nazi” at face value anymore, especially from pearl-clutching emotionally frantic seeming types such as yourself, third if there were Nazis and they threatened someone, they should be banned. Rules are rules. You don’t get to threaten people…even if you don’t like them. Reddit is terrible, and bans people over nothing, but in your case, you clearly broke (a reasonable) rule and you got banned. The end.
I once created a LPT post about how rotating different shampoos can help prevent your body from developing tolerance (this is still a great LPT by the way; if you have dandruff or some other bodily condition like dry skin and your shampoo or lotion loses efficacy over time, try buying a few different types and rotating your usage so you don’t develop tolerance). Aaaanyway, my post got deleted for being “medical advice.” Reddit kids are the worst.
Fuck Reddit.
I got banned once for saying that a drug cartel head honcho deserved the death penalty (or something like that, I don’t recall the details). This was after a story where a bunch of people in Mexico or some South American country were found murdered in some gruesome ways and the head honcho was caught but then escaped. You can’t escape if you’re dead.
So someone on Reddit was offended because I said that a drug cartel kingpin who had dozens (or maybe hundreds) of murders under his belt should be removed from the gene pool. And then to make things worse, some moron Reddit agreed eith them.
Fuck Reddit.
I read about a similar situation recently … a thread where people were joking around about NSFW stuff and someone commented “that guy must be hung” (as in “big member”) and got suspended for hate speech / inciting violence because the mod apparently thought they meant “go hang that guy” (as in execute).
So yes, context matters greatly, especially when dealing with snarky comments and reactions to shitposts, where people usually aren’t as serious.
Huh my dog just alerted like he heard something.
