I say this in the hopes Lemmy does not have them. Being too in favor of punching fascists should not result in a person being unable to participate in one of the largest forums on the internet. In fact, I’ll go out and say, any behavior that would normally be bigotry or authoritarianism is immediately justifiable if its against fascists. Yes, I am venting because my 9th account got shadowbanned for ban evasion, how can you tell? If a person gets banned, they’ll probably delete the account, When you then ban the new ones for evasion that is impossible to appeal, obvious fucking trap

    I mean, they can be abused, but they’re absolutely necessary to have.

    And, if someone is trying to bypass a ban, they’re kinda not someone you can trust to behave in a reliably acceptable way at all.

    Like, I get it, nobody likes being banned. But trying to pretend that you didn’t know that not only would you catch a ban for outright saying to punch a nazi just means you weren’t paying attention to reddit and how it’s been for years at this point. Yeah, punching nazis is fun and possibly useful, but trying to pretend you didn’t know that it will get you banned on reddit is like saying you didn’t know laying down in a urinal trough would get you covered in piss. That shit is not new. It was happening before the little asshole ceo started making things worse. There’s articles about it, people complain about it all the time.

    And if you’re 9 accounts into trying to get around a ban, why the hell would anyone trust you to read and follow basic rules in the future? It doesn’t matter whether or not the initial ban was justified. Stupidly. Think about it. It’s like some stupid teenager being grounded and sneaking out the window. The very act of it proves you can’t be trusted.

    Why the fuck would you even want to go back? Pick up the stealth app, read what you need to read, and let reddit go to hell.

    I mean, vent away, but this is on you.

      Reading isnt the point. I want to post and the fact of the matter is, every single thing I do is justified morally and by the initial ban being horseshit. Noone blames a teen gor sneaking out if their home is abusive
