In a post regarding climate change I called another user an “Ignorant Slut” like that line from the Office. Anyways got permanently banned site wide and I just can’t help but wonder if that was necessary.
It’s not like I say that all the time, it was a one off instance and they just remove me from their site. I don’t mind it so much since it’s just a Reddit Account but it is really annoying since I can’t help but feel the admins had it out for me as they banned my account unjustly before and then reinstated it. But this time the ignorant slut was all the reason they needed to remove me from their existence.
Anyways just wanted to rant to the void on how dumb Reddit can be sometimes.
You probably got banned because you referred to it as being from “The Office”, when it’s originally from “SNL”
Reddit, you ignorant slut
Reminds me of a customer who used to say ‘listen here you little shit’ if I stirred him up.
I am going in to post your comment. Wish me luck. Will report back.
I wouldn’t use that kind of insider joke on a social media. Chances are that at most 10% get it. The rest will be rightfully offended.
Not rightfully. Mistakenly offended.
It’s similar to facebook or twitter at this point. You can get suspended for the most silly things, appeal it and they’re “NO we reviewed it and you are VERY bad” and meanwhile, someone can threaten to murder you and you report it, and they’re “we reviewed it and this was perfectly super cool, sorry”.
The other thing is that they typically ban you for life, which is harsher even than our legal system. As a society we’ve agreed that it’s possible to pay your debt to society, but private companies have no obligation to see things that way. It’s like we’ve taken rules to deal with trolls in an old school Counter Strike server and tried to extend them to something that resembles a corporatocracy. It’s a lot different and more meaningful to get banned from service provided by a monopolistic company compared to getting banned from your local bar, for example, when you can just go across town to the other one.
it’s fairly horrific, like being banned from amazon. So Amazon is “hey we want a monopoly on all commerce!” … and then if you’re banned by them?

Had a 10 year old account get banned for something minor…which I appealed and got restored. But it left me to realize there are no actual rules on reddit…just a collection of echo chambers. I deleted all comments and the account itself shortly after. It’s been sad watching Reddit die.
It seems like Reddit decided to look for any excuse to ban anyone talking negatively about their API changes or talking about Lemmy.
I was banned in one alt from a sub for ban evasion on a sub I was accidentally banned a few minutes from. I didn’t notice and posted from my main. All accounts were instantly permabanned. I don’t think it was a coincidence it was like 2 days after I dared to question spez in his AMA.
Classic authoritarian move. Make so many rules, everyone has to break one at some point, even accidentally. Then you can pick and choose when to enforce.
I remember getting banned off a subreddit simply because I subscribed to another subreddit that they didn’t approve of lol. When I tried to appeal, even un-subscribing from the other sub, they perma-banned me from the subreddit with no response. Good riddance.
Nothing would piss me off more than getting banned from a sub I never had any intention of visitng much less engaging in because I commented on a post from one of their disliked subs.
The curse of spending too much time in r/All.
called someone a cunt on fb. bots kicked me in 2 seconds. 30 days for harassment. my 3 months on Tw ended for less. disposable, all of it
Yeah, I strongly suspect large numbers of trolls are making very, very heavy use of the reporting features.
The OG line is “Jane, you ignorant slut.” from Saturday Night Live in the 70s.
But then most people online aren’t old enough to remember that…
I remember I called something “Really Stupid” in response to something someone else said that was really stupid, and I was banned for using an ablest slur.
I got banned from /myrderedbyaoc for colonialism for being for aid to ukraine and that going forward they would.remember it and be great allies. On the day aoc voted for aid to ukraine.
The admins are probably ignorant sluts, I guess.
I’ve been on Reddit for like 12 years and I was never banned by an admin. The fact that you got banned twice is sus.
I did get banned from blackpeopletwitter for being white.
eh, it’s reddit so who cares? dying platform is dying
