This is reddit mods in a nutshell

Similar story to how I ended up IP banned.

Story about a politician advocating for killings and kangaroo court imprisonments> i make a comment saying "yeah this guy is gonna end up dead if he tries this" > banned for threats of violence. .. appeal, arguing that it wasn't a threat. Just an acknowledgment of political volatility.. suggested mods were politically biased for seeing it that way. > appeal rejected and permabanned

edit - I understand reddit mods dont issue IP bans, but I was hit for ban evasion after abandoning a cooked account that they refused to let me appeal. the ban evasion rule is a "gotcha" to make people , any and all . to go away. I only say that this time it was an IP ban because I had been perma'd before, only to immediately move to a new account I already had made (and on the same device no less).

my guess was algorithms improved /s

Yeah, Reddit moderation is... Fucky wucky. But this is also a general problem in American society. It's perfectly okay to kill people for profit, but if you break a window you're the bad guy doing a violence. (It may be present in others as well, I just don't know)

Police violence is a okay. Rioting and causing property damage that’s bad.

Banned for similar reason. Mod misinterpreted my wording and IP banned for inciting violence. 100 characters max in your appeal so impossible to explain yourself.

Does anyone actually have a foolproof way of dodging an IP ban? I miss participating in my city's local sub.

I actually have a bit of a conspiracy that reddit flags accounts who don't make them money (don't buy coins, doesn't use app, uses Firefox, etc) and specifically watches them for TOS violations.

There should be a community of "just reddit things" like this

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

There is a reddit community, usually used in that way.

If I saw this, I would shatter it.. in Minecraft only, of course.

Fucking Reddit mods. I got perma banned for saying I wished that MTG would trip and swallow her own head.

She'd have to pull it out of her ass first.

Keep your murder-machine out of my city. Please.

You did it, you fit the entire US vibe into one picture!

Anyone manage to find the actual comment link?

Oof, I scrolled for a good 10 minutes. I couldn't find the comment, probably deleted.

A crazy mix of "politics" in there. The sheer amount of people who have no problem telling the world they have no problem running over people simply because they don't want to slow down in the street is concerning.

Looks like a photoshop, not a real sticker. Not a lot of pixels, but it doesn’t curve right, reflect or warp with the window. Squared up with tbe image orientation, not the window or defroster lines like a human would apply a sticker.

Everyone grabbing pitchforks all the same.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (6 children)

That's not the point. The OP straight up advocates maiming or killing people in a known Terrorist TTP. But the guy who talks about a window gets banned.

Trucks and SUVs are being weaponized today in the same way airliners were weaponized in 2001.
