Post your stories about being banned from Echo Bunker communities here.

NOTE: Not everyone has the same sense of humor. In fact, it is quite apparent that some people have no sense of humor at all and that some toxic communities and echo bunkers REALLY hate it when their attempts to silence those who don't agree with them fail because they forgot that those people can just make fun of them outside of their echo bunkers. Those toxic communities will come here and continue to argue but will become more and more frustrated because they can't silence us here.

So...for those of you to whom it isn't ABUNDANTLY clear (please look up Dunning Kruger) this sub is for making fun of those toxic echo bunker communities and subreddits. If you can't take a joke then this might not be the sub for you.

AND...if you're a member of one of those toxic echo bunker communities and come here to try to defend those toxic echo bunker communities please do expect to me made fun of. We're here for you.

ALSO...really lean into those completely meaningless downvotes. It's fucking hysterical that you think that they make any difference at all here.

RULES

This sub only has three rules.

  1. This sub is for making fun of toxic echo bunker communities that remove comments that don't conform to the orthodoxy and ban anyone who doesn't agree with the group think.

  1. The mod(s) has/have the final say.

I used to post quite actively in r/soapmaking since, well, I'm a soap maker.

My wife and I raised the pigs, rendered the lard, and mixed it with other oils and lye to make soap. You know, soap making.

r/soapmaking was filled with people who bought soap that other people made, melted it, mix in perfume and glitter, poured it into moulds, and sold it. I pointed out that they weren't actually making soap but were doing arts and crafts with soap that other people make.

They set upon my like a bunch of extremist vegans at a BBQ. I said that there wasn't anything wrong with doing soap arts and crafts but that it wasn't really soap making since they didn't actually make soap.

They called me arrogant for not accepting that not making soap was soap making and banned me. I can't remember whether it was permanent or temporary but I never went back.

I've written about this a few times. I was banned from r/republican for pointing out that the article that someone posted claiming that the DOJ had found evidence of massive fraud in Georgia contradicted the Republican AG, the DOJ, the Republican Governor of Georgia, the Republican Secretary of State of Georgia, the Republican AG of Georgia, and Georgia election officials and written by a Trumpist political shill.

Then the stories started coming out that confirmed what I said. I asked if they would reconsider the ban since it turned out that I what I had said was true. They told me that they would not because I was trolling. I pointed out that simply posting the truth was not trolling. They muted me for 30 days.

Then John Eastman was charged with being that shill. I once again asked if they would reconsider the ban since it was now even more clear that what I had said was true and not trolling. They muted me for 30 days.

When John Eastman was recently disbarred for being that shill I once again asked if they would reconsider the ban since not only was it obvious that what I posted was true but that Easteman had been disbarred because of the actions that I commented about. They muted me for 30 days and told me that if I didn't stop writing to them they would tell their mommies (or maybe it was report me to the admins, I can't remember.)

Never speak truth into an echo bunker.

Someone asked about feeding their dog, a feculative carnivore, a vegan diet. The response was overwhelmingly, "Don't, it's animal abuse". In fact, that was my exact response. I posted links to several articles explaining that it's very difficult to feed a feculative carnivore, like a dog, a balanced diet feeding them only vegan.

They didn't like the word, "force" as in, "forcing a dog to eat vegan." When I asked how not giving the dog a choice was not forcing their false moreal supperiority on an animal without other options I didn't get an answer. I also suggested giving the dog a choice between meat and kibble or even a feculative carnivore kibble versus a vegan kibble so they weren't forcing the dog to eat vegan. That wasn't popular either.

So...I'm banned from c/vegan. My life will be richer for it.

EDIT: Some of this conversation happened with individuals after the mods hermetically sealed the echo bunker by removing all non-fawningly supportive replies and banning everyone who didn't fawn positively.
