Lol as much as this is a fun larp, and reddit did take too long to ban them, I'm not partial to taking random twitter/mastodon/ discourse as gospel. I think it's goofy when conservatives do it, and I think it's goofy here.

I can confirm this story because I was the boat.

Explain Bot: "Can Confirm" boat at anchor off the coast of Panama reputed to have the tightest pussy of any boat stationed south of Caracas.

A was flying over the boat at the time, as I am wont to do.

Then everyone clapped. I know because that boat was Albert Einstein.

You wouldn't know him, he goes to a different school in Canada.

Can't speak for the boat story, but after fatpeoplehate was banned, there was a study that showed that many shitters left/changed their behavior

Yeah I'm not arguing that deplatforming doesn't work, I just think the highly improbable boat story is silly to even address.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
