They permabanned my 14yo account because my anti-nazi rhetoric was "encouraging violence." I guess Nazis are a class of humans dumb enough to give them money so they don't want to scare them off. The post that got me banned had more than 60 up votes when it was deleted and I was permabanned. A reply post in the same vein was not deleted.
Remember that video where Ron Perlman talked about there's a lot of ways to lose a house?
I lost my 11-year account because I said something to the effect of 'If Ron Perlman pulled up and said get in the fucking car we're going to go burn down Bob Iger's house I wouldn't hesitate.'
They had been getting very weird near the end there anyways? I kept getting these stupid warnings over the most petty shit. At one point somebody said respond to this comment and I'll gild you. I simply responded fuck you because I thought it would be funny to see that have gold, which it got. Got an official warning for harassment.
I had said a lot worse over the years.
Same. This.
Edited to add: fuck redtit
Honest question: deleted comments might be just hidden and still up for sale, do people know if GDPR can come to the rescue here?
To be fair, advocating violence on any platform will not get you very far even if the idea is justified, eg) nazis
Curiously, Nazis seem to get away doing just that, under their clear name even! Reported a few of those on Twitter a while ago before Elons takeover. Got a message that the reports are unwarranted and if I continued to make them they'd disable my ability to report.
I asked what Eisenhower would do if he saw the Nazi marchers in Wisconsin and had ready access to a machine gun. I don't think that is advocating violence. I intended the comment to illustrate how far some Republicans have moved to the right since Ike was president.
Eisenhower is dead. Advocating for his attendance at a Nazi march is nothing more than a thought experiment.
