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.

    Got perma-banned from a 15 year old account for joking about Elon Musk needing to get Luigi-ed. Fuck that place. Never going back.

    Can confirm, have made the move. It was only a matter of time before that place went down the fascist watch list.

    Facebook, gone. Amazon, gone. Reddit, gone.

    Gotta get rid of my Google account next.

      Good luck. Assuming you have a smart phone, it’s either Apple or Android. But I get the feeling that you are not an apple simp, and most Android devices require Google to even set up.

    Everyone please put your narwhals and your bacon in the trash, this is jeans and beans country

    (But you can put bacon in the beans, and on everything else, and by itself … no sense wasting bacon)

    Some right wing troll said something akin to “so much for the tolerant left.” I replied “I don’t give two shits about your opinion dude. I’ll see you in the streets during the revolution.”.

    That was my third account banned. I figured that shit was pretty innocuous. 😂 This was a few weeks back.

    Fuck reddit. It’s probably for the best. They’re talking about paid subs coming next year or whatever. I hope reddit burns to the ground.

    GG Allin! I saw a doco on him a few years back called Hated.

    Whole shit was that insane. When he jumped into the crowd and started smearing them with poo. He just didn’t give a fuck.

    Hi. I made it.

    Just deleted my 13-year-old account. I’m fucking pissed how much effort I put into that fucking place. The hardest thing was overwriting my content so they don’t grt to keep my work. It’s done, fuck that place.

    Just made my account. Reddit can no longer be a trustworthy site since Spez keeps shitting all over the site with dumb ass rules.

    I got banned for suggesting that maybe all the conservatives young men (the “alpha male types”) should be sent to an island where they can fight in an artificial, made up war against each other and then when they return home they’ll be progressives.

    LOL. I was just making a point that people who call for wars are often the ones who have never fought in one. Oh well. Getting banned from Reddit is probably for the best, I should be supporting Canadian services anyway.

      Good idea. We can dedicate a small island where all ‘Alpha males’ fight against each other every year. The winner is the true Alpha

    Be the change you want to see in the world. I’ve been on here since the api controversy. I’m done with Reddit for good now, after about 15 years. So now I’m going to try to drive activity on all the niche communities I want to see here.

      I also did not like the api changes. But I was at least able to understand why they did that. But the shit that is going on now is enough

      I also left for good after ‘API-gate’, after more than ten years… It actually hurt to see how something that had been such a big part of my life for so long got worse and worse, like a family member becoming radicalized or something.
