    I just got a violent content warning for upvoting someone calling musk a “stupid person’s version of a smart man” on a post about his trucks being vandalized.

    I’m about at my wits end with Reddit as a regular user. I have 2 accounts that I’ve used there for a while. One of them is my main user account, the other I use mostly to mod some subs.

    My main account recently caught a 7 day ban because of their stupid new “Violence” bullshit. It’s so targeted, and blatantly obvious that it really only applies to comments about certain things. They removed the comment that supposedly triggered it, but all I was was

    Hey Leon, you remember when you hit the cybertruck with a baseball bat? Why don’t you go fuck yourself with it.

    That’s it, that’s all I said. You could post that same comment directed at an actual Reddit user, and not catch a ban.

    Don’t misunderstand me here. I am not now, nor have a I ever been under the delusion that Reddit was the bastion of free speech they tried to claim for years. But seriously, they need to get their fucking heads out of their fucking asses.

    English people acc know how to think for themselves, we criticise our politicians regardless of what parties we vote for and form our own opinions rather than follow the rhetoric of one of two absolutely dogshit parties.

        That’s exactly my point, most usual labour voters didn’t agree with Corbyn, cause they don’t blindly follow whoever’s leader of any one party.

        In fact we usually vote for whichever party’s either the least dogshit at the time or strategically vote against the most, for example when Blair illegally went to war in Iraq to suck American dick we all collectively voted against Labour, and after the absolute Tory shitshow we all voted against them.

        Strategically because of our absolutely shit, barely democratic FPTP voting system, which usually forces people to vote strategically, against the most powerful party they like the least, but luckily we still have more than 2 voting options.

      Not sure what this is about

      If I were to give them the biggest empathy I can muster, they may just remove it as silently as possible out of fear of having to moderate the comments of bound-to-be popular post according to reddit’s increasingly stupid rules of discourse.

      Still unjustified censorship, very worrysome - but I could on an emotional level understand being fed up with everything at this point and just powertripping because “fuck everything, I don’t want to deal with anything like this, I am not getting paid enough/at all”.

    If you can’t post innocuous things like this to reddit, what is even the point of going there? That site went downhill extremely fast. Good, fuck reddit!

      Still okay for talking about anything that isn’t critical of authority, I guess. So just hobbies and such. Serious discussion must be made elsewhere.

    I love all these. But what I particularly love is that there are three really clever ones and the fourth is like, fuck it, let’s just call him a bellend.
