This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
How does that biowaste bin fire still have users who can read and write?
Reddit has a lot of established local community subreddits, and when you are that established, its hard to give up.
Disclaimer: I was just banned on a second account after being found out for my first ban (I said some things with, well, lets say "high praxis") and I am not happy about it.
That moderator should be un-moderated.
I kinda want Section 230 to be revoked so the dam can break on "wrongful ban" class actions.
You are only allowed to post Goat Head Smoothie on Reddit
Your pictures are welcome here, Paul!
Fux you spez.
It's funny how a lot of the complaints I'm reading here are about how Reddit is unfriendly toward left-leaning people but all the right wing people complain about how Reddit is a cesspool of liberal propaganda.
It just goes to show that the platform plays both sides just to promote hate and anger.
I visited after I got banned and the default posts that show up without logging in (therefore uncurated) were all so irritating that I had to assume they were all ragebait.
Reddit is hostile towards left-leaning people, and it is also a cesspool of liberal propaganda. Liberals fucking hate leftists, even more than they hate fascists, because liberalism is fundamentally pro-capitalism. That's why the mainstream media is currently crashing out about people like Hasan Piker, who actually represent a growing base of support for socialism, and they run every possible smear they can.
Reddit is a cesspool of liberal
Liberals are not left wing
Ok, whatever. The point was that they have fun seeing us bicker over shit for their profit.
But the right doesn't know that.
Yes they are. Liberal covers a wide range of ideology. The liberal versus leftists debate is a Russian pysop
The American use of political terms like liberal and socialist are warped from their original meanings.
Both can mean supporting healthcare for everyone for example. Even though that’s neither a policy following from the theory of liberalism, nor is socialized healthcare dependent on following socialism.
The same is true for progressivism and leftists. All of these terms are often used interchangeably to the previous two.
There’s a deep lack of nuance and specificity.
Actual Marxist leftists and democratic liberals are ideologically opposed to another in many ways. In the US they might agree on better healthcare for everyone and waving rainbow flags. Liberals should be for free markets, (regulated) capitalism, freedoms, etc. A leftist should be opposed to all of these. Freedom to a Marxist means something else than to a liberal.
Nowadays a lot of political discourse across the spectrum is deeply rooted in identity, creating division, virtue signaling, moralist preaching, etc.
Discussion on specific politics and details is often cut short by the above campism and clinging to identities.
This applies to the right and the left equally.
I got banned for posting that Trump is a piece of shit. KTHXBAI!
TIL Sir Paul McCartney is on Reddit.
Was on Reddit
My three notable bans:
Edit: I forgot to mention when time number 2 happened. I asked the mod "Why was I banned?" Then my entire account got a 3 month suspension for "Mod abuse" by the admins.
I think my worst one was being banned from the united kingdom sub for suggesting an immigrant who stabbed a random child in the face should be deported to the middle of the ocean. Had a few hundreds up votes when they banned me so I'd say most people agreed.
Heh, I was also banned for the same reason as you - quoting the exact text of the constitution to say what should happen to insurrectionists. My appeal was denied in seconds.
The time before that it was during the presidential debate live watch threads, and there was a portion of the broadcast where the camera dipped away from the speaker, so I wrote "kill the cameraman!", an obviously non-serious statement in reference to the subreddit /r/killthecameraman, and got banned for that. That was only a three week suspension I think. The mod who banned me also handled my appeal as well, promptly ignored.
My favorite will always be being banned from AITAH for being too mean?/honest?/using a curse word? I'm not sure they just said my language was inappropriate. I may have used the word asshole.
What do you mean bad form doesn't exist? Serious question.
He was saying there's no such thing as bad form for an exercise. I was posting video clips of people with bad form getting hurt as examples. He would then make up some stuff about it wasn't the form that caused them to get hurt.
Oh, sorry, I didn't read it correctly. I thought YOU were saying it.
It's a new idea being floated by the medical experts of the Sackler family.
Kind of tangential to the topic but reddit has been appropriating user names for celebrities and companies. The first known instance (as far as I know) was u/borat. I was surprised thiskind of thing wasn't a bigger deal.
I wouldn't be surprised if u/paulmccartney is such a case. A basic name that's only a 5 year old account. No way nobody grabbed that before.
But how would a fake Paul get access to the real Paul's private footage of his own, not-filmed-by-audience show?
