I just got a ban for “encouraging violence”. Someone asked “what will you do to celebrate when he dies?” Someone else started talking about how they have a fantasy about getting the death note and how they’d put that to use. I chimed in with my silly fantasy of using a seance to end politicians’ careers by getting them possessed by the ghost of GG Allin, and enjoying the mayhem that would ensue.
So, anyway, right after that, I found out that all the people who were so transgressive to have actually liked that comment of mine can, as of a couple days ago, expect punishment as well. How draconian.
And so that was that. No sense in being lorded over on the internet by the same people who run HOAs. It’ll be fun watching Reddit flush itself down the toilet from over here, I expect.
Would have been two days ago, but I was doing yardwork this weekend from when I got up until I dropped and wasn’t online.
I don’t tend to post things that would get me a ban, but the principle of it and who was actually catching the consequences made it clear who was taking the space over. I almost moved here back during the mod api protests and I refused to use reddit for about six months, but this is a point of no return. Hopefully activity will increase in the topics I read about.
