No offense, but how do you manage to get banned from Reddit? A certain sub, sure, but the entire website?

Said that I would murder andrew tate is given the opportunity and apparently that counts as a credible threat of violence

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is very violent phrasing and you only deem it ok because it's geared toward the "right kind of people"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm fine with that

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Would that even count as a crime in the first place? Interesting either way, didn’t expect that would trigger a ban on the website.

Again, can totally see that happening on a sub, but giving the amount of vile that has been given a free platform on the site I didn’t think they’d bother.

A popular french redditor who had a fun passion fir road signage got banned from reddit to state in a right-wing reddit (/r/europe) about the riots in France, that sometimes you only get progress through violence. He was banned for promoting violence.

Commenting "GUILLOTINE!" at some political news was likely considered promoting violence enough so that the /r/france mods got instructions from reddit mods.

I feel like this happened because of the Jan 6th coup attempt in Washington. I totally understand their position, but it is a bit tiring that Americans believe that their own political mindset of the moment is universal. France has far more legal restrictions on free speech yet it feels like American media censor themselves much more.

They ban people very selectively and its always ideologically motivated. There was a period of time where you would get a 3-day ban for just upvoting the wrong posts. So you could lurk and still get banned for some reason. That happened to me multiple times before I decided to delete my account.

you have my attention, which wrong posts did you upvote?
