    That sub is the biggest amalgamation of whiny pussies you can find on Reddit.*

    Which is an accomplishment.

    The best part is: They laugh at the liberal left for being trigger happy snowflakes that need a safe space because they are too scared of being bullied aka. disagreed with, WHILE CREATING A SAFE SPACE BECAUSE THEY ARE TRIGGER HAPPY SNOWFLAKES WHO BAN ANYONE WHO MIGHT DISAGREE WITH THEM BECAUSE TO THEM THATS LIKE BULLYING.

    *Formal apology to anatomical pussies. You don’t deserve to be compared to that

    I gave up on Reddit after a decade last month because I could no longer post ANYTHING without getting banned. It became a much bigger source of stress than it was informative or entertaining. My mental health has been much improved since I deleted my account.

    The thread itself is such a stupid gotcha as well. “Oh if you like Ukraine so much go die in Donetsk!” Lol no bro there is such a huge gulf between “we should help Ukranians fight for their freedom with military equipment/funding” and “I personally will die for Ukraine” that the point doesn’t even get off the ground

    On fb, I once got a 72hr ban for writing “Blow up your TV”, on a post relating to John Prine, for … you guessed it - “Inciting Violence”.

    I deleted that 20yo account on Jan 20th.

    This system is so easily gamed by report spam. I’ve gotten multiple warnings on my account for “violence” removed after appealing, their system is automating this somehow and it’s not doing a good job. Really that’s just the story of Reddit for the past several years, they cast a wide net and piss off a lot of people now. They used to be a lot more hands-off but now they’re just controlling fuckwits.

    I got temp banned twice for quoting from The Godfather (I guess the algorhythm hasn’t seen it) and then perm banned for various Dt related quips and “ban avoidance”. Shit is exhausting.

    I got a “warning” for replying to someone joking “maybe it’s your fault for breathing lol”. Wouldn’t even tell me what I did, the whole thread was a joke, not serious at all.

    I usually put comments like this in quotations to make it clearer that I’m not endorsing the heinous statement.

    I mean I get what you were saying but lots of people like to misinterpret things so it’s just easier to make it super obvious.
