I finally got the kick I need to go 100% in on Lemmy. I don't know why I am surprised. At one point they said shadow banning was only ever supposed to be used against bots, but reddit doesn't care anymore.

How did you get banned for that? There's no way that's the whole story.

I used the phrase 'give him enough rope to hang himself'. apparently this is advocating violence, or something, or some trumpy mod got his feelies hurt.

Oh, I see. Reddit is real touchy about calls to violence, and many subs have really dumb bots that trigger on key phrases. "Hang himself" probably did it.

Yeah but that's a standard phrase that has nothing to do with violence, and that's been around forever.

It has the same meaning as someone who paints themselves into a corner.
