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.
Got perma bannad for a joke… Then all other accounta got banned aswell… sneaky bastards…
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.
That’s like an actual advice I got from an hairdresser when I was younger. Absolutely cleared my dandruff issue
Reddit mods are paid not in money, but in the smallest amount of power you can imagine. That dynamic most often attracts stupid people who are willing to work for free and want to abuse that power.
This filter makes for the worst combination at the magic the gathering subr. With the kind of people who get over competitive and complicated about low ELO magic, finding the ones who want to be internet police really leaves the dreggs in charge.
MuhammadJesusGaySex isn’t a pathetic attempt at instigating people or anything…
0/10
And reposting this after getting voted down is even worse. What kind of sadness is your life???
I, for one, welcome our gay sex prophet overlords. In fact, my religion of “Gay Sex Prophetism” requires it. However, we strongly believe fish must have sex and “Potato fish” is extremely insulting.
Thing is, the rest of us who abandoned reddit years ago warned of exactly this kind of thing happening. We were called Nazis. You guys are catching up after years of name-calling those who saw what was happening and now want our sympathy.
User makes worst joke ever, asked to leave reddit.
I uninstalled Reddit
What?
There’s a whole new group of reddit users who only know it via the official mobile app. Gone are the days when people were playing spot the mobile user, it’s quickly becoming “Spot the old reddit user”.
The “would you” was lame. The joke was pedestrian.
It’s all extremely underwhelming. 0/5 all around.
I used to mod some big subs and saw one of the dumbest ways the admins banned someone.
So one of the mods I knew posted a video of a picture containing a microwave with Alvin & The Chipmunks photoshopped in. The video had audio of a microwave turned on with high pitched screaming too.

That 14 second video he posted on a sub he modded got the admins to permanently ban him across Reddit and then refuses to ever reply to him when he asked why. It was perfectly acceptable for that subreddit too.
Hell I even started a conversation with some admins for some other issues and asked them about it. They ignored that question completely lol.
I don’t regret leaving that site. I do regret modding big subs tho lmao.
This happened in holup. One of the most ridiculous subs. I mean since they got rid of spacedicks and watchpeopledie. You know, all the good stuff.
Most of spacedicks was just stupid stuff (and I think one or two actual space dicks) last time I looked. It was the kind of sub you’d browse once for the laughs and then never have any urge to go back unless someone linked to it. And the warnings were waaaaaayyyy overdone, to the point that when it got banned I remember being shocked that anyone would genuinely be offended by it.
I’ll never understand it, lol. But now I don’t have to, so there’s that. Couldn’t pay me to go back now.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/MsJCTNvPZVM?si=66xVCf1ho13mIzbN
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

Huh my dog just alerted like he heard something.
Bro, I don’t know how to tell you this…but I think you’re dog’s a Nazi.
Good dog. Give pupper a steak for me!
I got permanently banned for wishing violence upon neo-nazis.
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.
Obviously, you won’t see them unless you browse communities that actively harboured them.
Calling “nazi” impossible to take seriously is pretty funny, given this exact same thing is used by right-tards and “enlightened” centrists, to quickly shut off any conversation and to defend the indefensible
Call it Nazi, Neo-nazi, far-right, it does not matter. If you harbour racist, transphobic, homophobic or other hateful views, what other response do you want for it? Debating them does not work. They do not argue in good faith. Removing them from the conversation entirely is the way to go. Because surely we talked to the nazis in WW2, right? “UwU, pwease don’t kill any more innocent people.” No.
If you let the intolerant in your tolerant society, guess what will happen.
So please, do call me emotionally frantic pearl clutching for not wanting my friends murdered for being gay or trans or black. It honestly says more about you than me.
Honestly that’s pretty bad compared to some of the times I got banned over the years. I got banned once for pointing out that a post about not wanting to talk to men about feminism was toxic and detrimental to spreading understanding of ideas. The mods of some of the subs will just ban you for saying something is illogical.
The mods of some of the subs will just ban you
Yup.
Same. I once pointed out some toxic femininity on TwoXChromosomes and got permabanned. Talk about double standards…
I once asked a question in twox (something innocuous like “was that before or after you went to the restaurant”, I don’t remember exactly) and got perma banned for derailing
I got perma-banned for pointing out that if we wanted to find out if ancient execution methods worked there were plenty of child molesters around.
Literally the next day their was a huge thread at the top of the technology subreddit saying all kinds of shit like that about printer company executives. I appealed asking what the difference was and all I got back was a canned response. I checked a few days later and all the comments on that thread were still there.
The only conclusion I can make from this is that Reddit wants to be a safe space for child molesters specifically which seems pretty sus to me.
Obviously, no one is going to offer me 88 million dollars
The best I can do is aboot three fiddy.
This shit stinks like dogwhistle, to me.
I case it is, are you afraid of boots, fucking fascist? I case it isn’t, pardon my French.

For everyone else, stay alert, crush fascism! :)
Dude, please get off the internet for a little while
