Russian Plutocrats spewing the most propaganda they can fit into the platform before Nov 5th.

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.

FUCK SPEZ

Did "Twitch" decide this, or did "Some exec at Amazon, who owns Twitch" decide this?
