    Also, the degree of banning now is at another level. My friend got banned site wide for three days because she used the word moron to describe a mail carried that fucked up real bad. I guess she doesn’t spend much time on reddit so she wasn’t aware what a shithole that place became

      Thats been a thing since a shirt while before the api meltdown. I went through like 5 accounts getting banned for things like telling a TERF to fuck off or saying I hope someone assassinated Putin.

      And their “appeal” system just automatically denies you.

        Yeah, it’s also petty retaliatory mods.

      Yeah, I stopped making new accounts there, cause they survive only for a couple of weeks or so until admins decide that morons are a protected group, or that answering calls to genocide with appropriate wishes is calling to violence (the other side usually doesn’t get banned), etc.

      I like it here - at least bans for being rude are mostly egalitarian not depending on political positions (if you don’t try to teach tankies economics and history on their own instances, which is stupid in at least two dimensions).

        It’s really hard to stay back when they’re praising North Korea, you always feel like Don Quixote does when he spots a windmill.
