Reddit kills awards and coins - Lemmy.world

Reddit 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.

I got permabanned from r/politics for saying RBG was a cunt for not resigning when she had a chance. (I stand by that and I’m blown away at how many people are truly offended at the word cunt.)

I was logged in with a different account and posted in politics about a different subject forgetting about that ban. So they permabanned ALL my accounts and blacklisted my IP.

Fuck 'em.

(I stand by that and I’m blown away at how many people are truly offended at the word cunt.)

You shouldn’t be. It is in fact an extremely offensive and misogynistic expression to use everywhere other than Britain and Australia. You also used it in reference to an objectively well respected Justice that fought for equality and women’s rights. To reduce her to “a cunt” is obviously offensive and obnoxious. I’m not surprised you got a ban.

Right, so it’d be better to instead say RBJ was an incredibly stubborn and shortsighted nincompoop whose bad decision-making doomed an entire generation and undid her personal legacy in the blink of an eye
Well yes, it would be better. That is a much more civil and digestible format in which to argue. I don’t agree with the content of your statement, at all, but I wouldn’t support the censorship of it.
