I’ve been reading a lot of comments lately about people getting banned for really mundane things. Some as much as upvoting a comment.

My 11 year old reddit account got banned. I still don’t know exactly what I said but I believe it was for talking about the US invading Canada and how we Canadians would fight back.

I think the funniest thing was getting banned from r/politics for posting two lines from the lyrics of Kidnap the Sandy Claws - a song from a kids movie Nightmare Before Christmas. A KIDS MOVIE!

“Kidnap the Sandy Claws, throw him in a box. Bury him for ninety years, then see if he talks”

I don’t even remember the context of posting it, but it was about Santa Claus. You know, a fictional character.

Pathetic.

    I am guessing it was the second half. “You pulled a three year old account of the mothballs to post something that stupid? Your mother should have gone through with her Planned Parenthood appointment.”

    I still do not know why I was banned. I just got some generic “broke reddit TOS”. When I appealed asking what rule I broke and promised to not break it again they instantly denied the appeal with no further explanation.

    Fuck em.

      That was kind of the same with me. They said I said something bad. They deleted it and banned me. I asked what I said. The reply was basically “we’ve banned you for what you said”.

    On a post about a local company not wanting to serve LGBT folks… i said, vote with your wallets. Let the free market decide their fate. Apparently anything short of wanting to burn the place to the ground is considered bigotry.

    I called malaria trump a whore.

    Like, she fucked a decrepit orange ogre for money.

    Edit, lol, malaria. Keeping that. Fitting.

      Malaria. Love it. I’m going to use this because I can never remember her name.

      Weeeeeeell … I upvoted you because I can’t disagree, but this one is technically bannable. In the USA it is illegal to vocalize harm to the US president. One of the few real exceptions to free speech. It is also illegal to cause a panic, like yelling “Fire!” in a crowded area when there in no fire, to cause a panic.

    Someone else posted that they wanted to fire Bezos off in a rocket never to return. I replied that it would be more appropriate to float him down the Amazon. My comment (and only mine) was banned for “inciting violence”.

    Since the Digg Exodus, I’ve gone through a dozen accounts on Reddit, typically for strongly disagreeing with figures in various administrations. I’m too old anymore to care.
