I was banned from a sub for explaining why “globalist” is an antisemetic dogwhistle. They said my comment was hate speech but left up the one I responded to, dogwhistle and all.
When I asked the sub’s mods about the ruling, I was given a 3-day sitewide ban. I brought it to admins, and instead of any explanation, they responded by making that ban permanent.
I dont think there is any way they don’t know what they’re doing. Reddit is complicit.
I am so dumb x.x
Who is Alice?
They also groom themselves something like cats do. Bees are the cutest!
Haven’t read your link yet, but with your point, I can absolutely concur; these are dark times, indeed.
If there was ever a time to get to know your neighbors and start building up community allegiance and solidarity, that time would look a lot like right now. Good luck and stay clever, all!
Even if only a couple people see someone making valid complaints before they bury it, then I’d say that’s at least worth the effort. You tell em, dude!
And they’re going to hide it
Not quite what you’re asking for, but Binary Break is an actual play tabletop podcast which is way, waaaay better than it needs to be. The players, the dm, the setting, the story, the music, the vibes; it all adds up to what is, easily, the best actual play experience I’ve ever come across…and as a person with a lot of time on my hands, I have tried a lot of them lol.
The setting is Digimon and I’m not sure if that’s a sell or deterrent for you, but I promise that it is an exceptionally fun ride for both fans and those that have never had an interest in the series alike. I am not exaggerating when I say that they are the best at what they do. You won’t regret giving these good folks a shot!
I was not aware of this projected timeline, so thank you for sharing. Still, Canada and Greenland each have a lush of natural resources, and the promise of more down the line (even if it is a good ways down that line), making them desirable assets for people who seek and wish to maintain power.
Genuinely nothing bad. Someone used the term “space globalists” to describe a faction in the manga, so I explained why globalist was an antisemetic term by explaining the context it gets used in irl as well as by providing specific examples of Alex Jones using the term and examples of him explaining why he uses it (he has, on rare occassion, said that you call them globalists instead of jews because the latter is a bad look, essentially). I did use some vulgar language and imagery, but only in quoting/paraphrasing what these types have actually said about their own beliefs.
The part of the ruling that said it was off topic was, imo, fair as I did break that rule, but specifically using it to disallow people pointing out hate speech, while also deeming it hate speech, and while leaving the dogwhistle I responded to up all makes it feel very sus ngl.
I asked their mods how what I said was qualified as hate speech and instead of getting any explanation, their response was a 2-day sitewide ban. After bringing it to admins, they, again instead of giving any reasoning to the ruling, just banned me from the site fullstop.
I could be mistaken, but I’m pretty sure it’s because, in spite of publicly denying its existence, they are very aware that climate change will make once difficult to tame lands very highly valuable in the near future. A good deal of all that ice and snow to the north will become much less of an issue within many of our lifetimes.
From the US and this has always been my experience with the reddit app since joining in 2019. I always chalked it up to bad connection
Jsyk, I have heard from librarian friends that, depending on where you live, a lot of the job can end up being telling creeps to pull their pants up and gtfo 😞
Is this why I just got permabanned there for explaining that “globalist” is an antisemetic dogwhistle? They said I was using hatespeech and when I contested it, my sub ban (r/dandadan of all places) became a permanent site-wide ban.
Not particularly relevant, but as a Magic the Gathering player, I really wish I had legal precedent to force her to change her initials. This lady is such utter trash and I hate that, not just my country is associated with her, but also one of my favorite hobbies. Ugh!
He is as much a coward as he is a fool.
Same on that last sentiment, dude. The difference in my own temperament has been surprisingly noteworthy since leaving. It took being banned for me to realize how emotionally dependant I had bec9me on their algorithm.
I’m still pissed about why I was banned, but I am ultimately glad to have left. The bump in my productivity has also been noteworthy. My home hasn’t been this clean in a long while lol
