I finally got the kick I need to go 100% in on Lemmy. I don't know why I am surprised. At one point they said shadow banning was only ever supposed to be used against bots, but reddit doesn't care anymore.

I have been banned twice and shadowed banned many times at reddit. And that was before the spez stuff.

I think it was my states subreddits mods causing me trouble I think.

One time I made a comment on a post about nazis in town and said "Let me get my bat". That got me a permanent ban.

If you can't find your bat let me know. I'm sure I have a spare one somewhere.

I got permabanned for saying that Donald Trump is incapable of testifying in court without incriminating himself.

How did you get banned for that? There's no way that's the whole story.

I used the phrase 'give him enough rope to hang himself'. apparently this is advocating violence, or something, or some trumpy mod got his feelies hurt.

Oh, I see. Reddit is real touchy about calls to violence, and many subs have really dumb bots that trigger on key phrases. "Hang himself" probably did it.

Yeah but that's a standard phrase that has nothing to do with violence, and that's been around forever.

It has the same meaning as someone who paints themselves into a corner.
