I made a comment about punching a Nazi.... got banned. Meanwhile, some of the most virulent Antisemitic shit I've ever seen was getting posted and some of it hit the front page.

That platform is going to follow twitter into the shitter in short order.

amusingly enough, the comment that got me banned was on a post about punching nazis, i just made a stupid haha funny about how punching people was fun think it was "i just came here to punch people" (the humor is that its a reddit thread, doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure it out.)

but no, me threatening to pull out the teeth of a pro lifer was perfectly acceptable according to reddit. Some fascinating moderation there.
