That was unexpected
I used to run /r/boycottchildlabor, but admins banned me, for posting facts no less.
It sucks you got banned. If they didn't like what you were doing the could have started /r/boycottboycottchildlabor and started a conversation.
Their 'reason' came from a comment I made in a different community than my own, but still totally factual.
I posted a comment and relevant link regarding Elon Musk, his Boring Company, and that contraption they made that they called "Not A Flamethrower", which looks like a child's toy, and is totally a flamethrower.
I wasn't the one out of place. I posted comments regarding known facts, along with a link as proof, in a similar spirit out of concern for children out there.
The damn device really does look like a kid's toy, when it's more like a quick way to burn a house down. ☹️
That is pretty weird. I would've reported it to upstream.
Huh? I was permanently banned by Reddit admins, not some random moderator. And yes, I've tried to appeal, twice. No dice.
