Speedrunning a permaban on my 15 year old account. How many days do you think it will take?

      Only comedy revolving around punching down is legal. Joke around about punching up… that’s illegal now.

        Illegal! Just like Elon’s immigration status when he and his brother overstayed their visa!

        Also Epstein set up his brother on a date!

        Bazinga!

    By this logic is the platform its self not breaking the rules by allowing a forum for the conversation to take place?

    Getting band for something like this is like the equivalent of seeing a graffiti artist painting something on a public wall, smiling or nodding in approval, and getting a ticket handed to you around the corner for “participating”.

      If they make the rules they can’t break them. Just like how our felon president walks completely free.

    Yooooo I scrubbed my profile when I left but this would be a great way to finally get it dealt with for good.

        I know that. I used the platform for free, of course they’re going to keep the information. What I’m trying to do is make any thread I ever posted on or posted a little more unusable and littered with remnants of some info that was there but now isn’t. I know there have been instances in the past where they resurrect a deleted post or comment because it was relevant, but I don’t think anything I ever did got nearly enough traction to warrant that. So I’ll do whatever I can, it’s better than not doing anything.

    Talk about the thought police! I saw it coming for awhile, but past me from a decade ago is shocked that Reddit has come to this.

    hey so i started looking at a new place because I’m tired of reddit and the people on it… My upvotes began just disappearing. I hate to be that person, but I think I was shadowbanned. I didn’t even know that was a real thing until reddit. When the little reddit guy’s back is turned on your icon you’re in some kind of restricted mode. Anyway, i noticed my upvotes weren’t showing and someone else kinda fiddled with it with me to see what was going on. I don’t know if this is related to luigi but it’s some weird nonsense.

      You sir or ma’am were shadowbanned. They want your views, not your voice. Basically you are ad revenue to them, if they ban you they lose that sweet juicy $.02 from their advertiser. They want two cents from their advertiser, just not from you.

      That’s why I finally pulled the plug on my 14 year old account. That Orwellian bullshit is a deal breaker.

        My 12 year old account got permanently suspended after an alt got a ban from r/entertainment for disagreeing with someone. Neither of us warranted a ban. Since I couldn’t block the sub from the news feed I accidentally commented again in the sub with my banned account not realizing the sub I was in. Then I commented with my main and got permanently banned. I appealed but didn’t get a response. This all happened over the course of a month or so and left an awful taste in my mouth.

          Same here, my 3 year old account got permabanned since my new alt got banned from r/shitpost and I couldn’t filter it out so I accidentally commented on my main and, well here I am…

            Haha samesies with my 12 year old account. I kept an alt for like 3 months before reddit just randomly banned it. Tried to create one more account and it got banned that day. Looked up Reddit alternatives and found this place :)

      I don’t know if you saw this article, but it’s a fascinating and infuriating read, it’s about all of the Luigi censorship and the upvote policing. It’s scary as hell. Check it out

        It talks about terrorist propaganda. I know a little bit about extremist groups use of social media… the tldr is social media is riddled with it. If they’re saying that’s the motivation then they are using that as an excuse. It’s ALWAYS been on reddit p, it’s nothing but a cover story.

    One of my buddies was recently complaining about “free speech” on Reddit.

    Told him it’s a company and not the government, so free speech doesn’t count there. He hated that.

    Told him if he didn’t like it to use Bluesky…he’s a staunch conservative…lol

      We don’t need fascists and their sympathisers on any social media. You shouldn’t have told him about it.

    Darn. I guess this means me making a Reddit account to confess that Luigi was my first videogame character crush ever is out of the question.
