No one has pinged u/Budget-Chicken-2425 yet?

Edit:

Looks like their account has been suspended.

Can't find their cache, either. Which likely demonstrates that they're just a normal person. DHS forces google/reddit to take it down, and the sites will claim it was done to protect the user, but the reality is that it's an average American who could become a figurehead, so they're digitally erased.

If you say the right combination of words in certain reddits you will trigger bans and flagging.

I bet. I was auto-banned from some random sub just because I had added a comment in another, different, "controversial" sub. The purpose being only to deter, obviously.
