[the subreddit, not lemmy, btw]
the words were not the n-word… see below….

racial slurs here

“removed” and “koongaroo”

if it wasn’t written by people claiming to be black, it would be indistinguishable from standard racism….
my money is on, fake as fuck and modded by actual white racists.
anyways, permanent ban, no explanation, no response to questions about the ban.
i had my doubts before, but now i’m sure.

    Trying again, huh?

    It’s reddit

    You can shake your fist and shout at clouds, but you won’t get anywhere

    You’re not the only one who has been there, and it’s shit, but it’s done. Let it go, or pick the scab, either way, they don’t care.

      last post didn’t have the warning….

      but you’re right, reddit is a fractal of garbage, and why i don’t use it much anymore.

      smaller subs can still be cool though….

        I got permanently banned across my accounts for saying “bad bot” to a nazi

        I’m device blocked now

        It’s just not worth hanging on to

        Digg is coming back, so maybe that’s an option

          This only applies if you use their shitty app, anything else uses a combo of cookies + Fingerprint and IP. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying to scare you out of or dissuade ban evasion. Use Tor or Mullvad Browser with a proxy and you cripple most of their automated checks.

            I’m a Luddite

            I don’t even have an internet connection at home

            I have no clue how to do any of that stuff

            I definitely appreciate the advice though!

              That makes sense. I just wanted to share that piece of info since it’s a common bit of misinformation that people share around without realizing (and also Reddit mods unfortunately share around intentionally).

                Thanks!

                One day I might be able to work it all out

                I haven’t bothered trying to work around things, because what I post is pretty distinctive…

    There’s a video by F.D Signifier (“Spike Lee tried to warn us…”) where he talks about contextual use:

    these communities did not turn a blind eye, or forget how these individuals behaved and how their actions hurt other black people.

    Thus within those communities, these minstrel actors-or moreover-black people that embody that minstrel aesthetic and ideology by trying to ingratiate themselves to white people at the expense of black people… were often forced to carry the names of these characters

    I’m not part of that community (nor do I even look at Reddit anymore) so you could be right, though.
