“If you raise the fucking hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.”

In quotes and attributed, in a conversation about the Costco hot dog. But apparently I’m threatening violence. Lol

    I have two accounts, with lots of karma, inexplicably shadowbanned. All I do is post in like 3 niche interest tech/fandom subs, zero politics or hostility.

    The appeals page is like a black hole. No explanation, no process, no results.

    I don’t even know anymore.

    Reddit permanently banned me for saying a person got “burned” when Trump did not pay the person. It was violent rhetoric, they said.

    How many people get banned for quoting Trump’s violent rhetoric?

      I was banned 3 days for “hate speech” because I said the IDF was committing horrible crimes and killing children.

      I was banned 7 days for violence (on a shit-posting sub) for saying Bonhomme should go to Washington DC and sort out 47. Bonhomme is the mascot of Québec Winter Carnival. He is a snowman. For context, the original shit-post had a “photo” of 47 gleefully eyeing a poster of Bonhomme. I did try to appeal this because…really? I was unable to even submit an appeal. I guess the US must be absolutely terrified of pretend snowmen from Québec.

      I was permanently banned for violence because I spoke against 47 and his underlings calling for the annexation of Canada. The war-mongers are allowed to threaten their peaceful neighbour 🇨🇦 (and others) with economic ruin and invasion, but a citizen of 🇨🇦 isn’t permitted to speak against this threat?

      I was a premium member but I had put a pause on the membership a couple months back when we began boycotting the US. I didn’t even try to appeal the perma-ban. I cancelled my membership/account and uninstalled the app.

    Yeah, I got a 7-day ban for saying Luigi Mangione probably shouldn’t go to prison for what he did because they said I was inciting violence. They lifted it on appeal, but not before hitting me with a perma-ban for some bullshit about circumventing the ban with other accounts (I’ve had exactly one account on reddit in the ~14 years I’ve been there), so I decided they were getting a bit too fashy for my taste and started looking for greener pastures.

    These reddit ban appeals are just power trips for the mods. do not engage with this feature.

    I got a warning for saying “I’m gonna put some dirt in your eye” in response to someone saying Spider-Man 3 was bad. 😂 I made an appeal and it was rescinded almost immediately, but still.

    Reminds me when I submitted an appeal to Imgur.

    My post got taken down for racism.

    I send an appeal that it was, in fact, not racism and if it is to please show me where the racism is.

    “Thank you for contacting us. Your post got removed because of racism because it had racism in it.”

    Told them to go fuck them selves.

    Never got an answer.
