gsa32Reddit kills awards and coins
amazeReddit is just killing itself in general. I’ve been permanently banned from the place on multiple occasions for having I guess what the moderators and admins considered offensive/alternative opinions. I’m not conservative or anything, I’m definitely a liberal, but sometimes I have an opinion that goes a little against the status quo of the ultra liberal / progressive and that is when admins and mods throw a shit fit and don’t know how to handle it other than permanently banning users. I don’t think that Aaron Swartz ever intended Reddit to be a place where critical discussion would just be blanket banned.
Cosmic ClericSometimes, it’s not what you say, but how you say it, they can get you banned.
Something to consider.
It’s the internet. I think it’s reasonable to say that people should be able to say things in whatever way they want to say it in. You can be serious and take part in a serious discussion, or you can joke around and not take things seriously. I think trying to constantly force everyone to speak like some chivalrous knight in shining armor gets tiring real damn fast on the internet and I think banning people for saying things ‘the way they say it’ is just an easy and convenient excuse to silence them because you don’t like the content of what they have to say.
frossYou need to read the room. Some subs lean more one way than another, along every axis.
It’s not “the internet”, it’s other people, so you do need to treat them with respect, your own wishes on how to behave don’t overrule theirs. If you get banned, you obviously didn’t read the room.
That’s not really what I said, what I said is that there are places to be either way, and that the internet should not be strictly about being the way you described. I think a slight misunderstanding was had there.
