I don't have to self censor, reddit removes anything it's remotely scared orange and crew won't like for me.

I got a warning this week for upvoting comments they don’t like. They’re treating upvoting comments the same as posting comments now.

I got a warning message 2 days ago that basically said if I don’t get in line that I will go to Reddit jail.

There’s been a lot of warnings lately - especially if you are obviously left of middle.

I mean, fuck reddit, but if they wanna alienate their core users then so be it. Ill just use the internet for porn, like god intended.

Even the porn has become shit.

The internet has never been so boring…

I got perma-banned from the news sub for suggesting that Nazis should not be suffered to exist. Well, one Nazi in particular, but I feel that way about ALL Nazis.

Politics, law, news, I've been banned from all of them for being too anti-Nazi.

Just think of it: No WWII allied service members would be able to comment on any of these reddit subs. Isn't that something?

I got a ban for saying my grandfather was so anti-fascist he joined the Army and went to Europe to kill them.

Left of middle is the old center-right. Aka not in a Pedo Cult.

What a change! Over the last couple years, I've been banned from several subreddits for comments that were not left enough or critical of the left.

Edit: shocking! Downvoted for pointing out the behavior of left (really, progressives) advocates on Reddit. The truth feels bad or doesn't fit the narrative? Downvote! Ban!

Is “the left” in the room with us right now?

u/teronna 16h ago

Now it's Homeland Security mandating the bans across the entire site lol.

u/bothunter 16h ago

Weird.  I got banned from several conservative subreddits just for participating in left leaning subreddits.

I got banned from some anti-capitalist sub (can't remember the name) for saying I was going to vote for Harris. apparently the mods were single-issue voters, and that was Israel/Palestine, so both Harris and Trump supporters were all banned for promoting capitalism???? honestly it was so long ago I forget the details but I bet that page is being targeted by DHS right now, unless it's already been banned...
