DominicGSomeone took a photo of me in the Miami airport and posted it on reddit
WiwiwebI was banned from reddit for talking about politics (I am anti trump) on the air force reddit so I wasn’t even able to comment on a post about me.
I know this is Lemmy and Reddit is bad etc., but FYI when you get banned from one subreddit by its mods, it doesn’t ban you from the entirety of Reddit. You could comment if you wanted.
nah say shit like “I’m surprised more nazis haven’t been shot yet” enough times and Reddit will ban you
source: happened to me. never advocated violence, doesn’t stop them from misinterpreting it. fucking idiots. unfortunately also happens on Lemmy - I was poking through the logs recently and saw someone had blatantly misinterpreted a comment as exactly the opposite of the message it was conveying
I got banned for “encouraging violence” in the COMBATFOOTAGE subreddit for saying we should fly more drones around the Ukraine warzone to make the Russians waste more ammunition trying to shoot them down (the post was a video of some Russian moron emptying his magazine trying to take a Ukrainian drone down).
When I disputed it, claiming it’s not encouraging any kind of violence (unless you count violence towards drones as violence?), I got a site wide ban. After 15ish years on reddit, I called it. That site has sunk so low in the past decade - seems to get worse as time goes on.
The dissonance of “not allowed to advocate for violence”, while at the same time, not only hosting combat footage, but also it being perfectly allowed to advocate for war or military operations, or talk about how “x country needs to shoot y enemy in this war” or similar, never ceases to amaze me. I literally don’t get it. What is war if not exactly that?
But I guess, if it’s state-sanctioned it’s perfectly fine. Even if, either way, it still results in violence and people dying. Just sucks that you can’t say that a war criminal deserves to die. Fucking double standards
blackn1ghtSame for saying “the only good nazi is a dead nazi”
