Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Burn it down.
For real. I got on Reddit in 2009, I was a mod for awhile blah blah blah. It’s been going downhill for almost a decade. It was slow.
Last comment I made there I got a 3 day suspension on my account. A video of a guy standing in the street and knocking down a guy in his motorcycle, stealing his keys and refusing to give them back.
I said he should have punched the dude out or choked him. I mean this dude could have killed the guy on the bike. He was unhinged. So I got a ban for “inciting or promoting violence” or some bullshit.
But here’s the thing lol. You can post about punching Nazis all day long. Fuck Nazis. Punch every one you see. But the double standard is outrageous. This is the same reason I permanently deleted Facebook. Getting a ban for saying the word “bitch”. And I was quoting Jesse pinkman! We don’t need to be babysat on the fucking internet. It’s absolutely insane what these companies do.
I once got banned from Reddit for saying that I wished someone would punch the colossal asshole Indiana attorney general in the nose as a sort of punny response to something he said himself. (I can't remember what he said.) It was really clearly a joke. A bunch of people came to my defense and I was unbanned. I should have taken the hint then.
You been referred to the reddit suicide hotline yet? I have a few times.
Not the person you asked but yeah I’ve been referred to that many times.
Oh yes.
