    I got banned from /r/politics for like a month because I called some fascist a boot licker. Not the first time it’s happened.

    A few days ago, I tried to post to /r/android to let them know about a 3rd party app that still works, but it got flagged as potential tech support post for some reason, so it had to be “reviewed” by a mod before being posted so I just fucking deleted it instead.

    Then, just today, I commented on /r/student_debt but it got automatically removed for profanity (I used the word, ‘fuck’ on the internet. Naughty naughty!).

    It’s getting harder and harder to participate over there.

      Notice that having a political opinion is now so controversial that most people simply avoid politics, leaving it to the suits.

    Got banned from r/whitepeopletwitter for using r/justunsubbed, which is now a “harassment” subreddit apparently.

    The politics sub for my country (UK) was doing an AMA with some shitty hard-right misinfo rag. Using an undelete util, I was able to see that they’d deleted any questions relating to the publications track record of provable dis- and misinfo. And they weren’t questions like “fuck you you pieces of shit”, they were well-written and polite. But didn’t fit the narrative trying to be built.

    I commented something like “Why are fair and reasonable questions being deleted? I thought this was ask me anything, not make x publication look good”

    I was immediately banned for ‘persistent mod abuse’.
