Officially yes. I got banned for saying "Musk fuming is violently toxic", site wide and permanently from 6 subreddits. Others got banned just saying "Luigi is innocent". Try it out. That reads more like quashing free speech to me.
Disinformation in the ads, yes. Also front page stuff making past moderation. Today in r/science I saw "Democrats are less tolerant of Republicans than vice versa" and a load of unscientific hogwash saying Republicans are not as intolerant as Democrats think. Go find it yourself if you don't believe me.
That seems like a platform of disinformation to me.
I’m sorry but I don’t believe you were banned site wide for saying that, and no one has been banned for saying “Luigi is innocent”. Not a chance. Can you please share the ban message and link to the comment?
As for tolerance, well I’m sorry but I think it’s pretty clear that that is right lol. Coincidentally I saw this last night on Twitter:
As we saw with Simone Biles recently, who was attacked by her fellow democrats because she wasn’t pro-trans enough in her vile attack on Riley Gains, the “tolerant left” are anything but. They even like to proudly cite the “paradox of tolerance” at every opportunity.
How can I share a comment that has been removed? The original is not accessible to me.
Here's all I have (happened in justguysbeingdudes, and 4 others):
Hello, You have been permanently banned from participating in r/harrypotter because your comment violates this community's rules. You won't be able to post or comment, but you can still view and subscribe to it.
Note from the moderators:
Deliberate repost of content removed by by Reddit. "[This comment was edited in protest to Reddit banning me for the following "violent" comment: "Elon musk fuming is fatally toxic.]"
If you have a question regarding your ban, you can contact the moderator team by replying to this message.
Reminder from the Reddit Admin team: If you use another account to circumvent this community ban, that will be considered a violation of the Reddit Rules and may result in your account being banned from the platform as a whole.
But no point in further engaging with a bad faith troll. I bet you believe Trump won the 2024 election with no tampering or unfair purging. I don't think evidence works on your kind of person. Therefore you are unlikely to convince me of anything.
The ban message usually has the offending comment in it.
The one you just posted clearly states why you were banned from r/harrypotter - you admitted to deliberately reposting content that was removed already. Even if that wasn't the content that was removed, you told them that you were doing it.
Also if you were banned site-wide then you wouldn't have been able to edit that comment in order to get banned from the harry potter sub. So did you actually get banned from reddit, or just from a few subs? Individual mods banning you is different to admins banning you. Your story doesn't add up.
I hate that you're making me even remotely defend reddit lol. Reddit is a far left agenda pushing shithole. You will not be banned from the entire site for saying "Elon musk fuming is fatally toxic". You just won't. Were you actually perma-banned from the entirety of Reddit, not just r/harrypotter?
Oh so you think the election was "stolen" do you? I thought that didn't and couldn't happen?
How old are you, just wondering?
Why? I've been working for nearly 30 years.
How old are you? How about instead of trying to find ways to discredit me and find some "gotcha!" you try and just have an adult conversation? You've already resorted to calling me a "bad faith troll" simply because I said your story doesn't add up, now you're trying to get personal details to try and use that against me? lol
Well now I have a sinking feeling in my stomach. I'm sorry you have been failed by the education system. Wish you the best.
Says the person that unironically said this....
lol. Also says the person who was participating in r/harrypotter lol. I think you are still in the education system, and are proof that it is failing.
The education system was significantly better in my time, which is why I can think critically and listen to opposing viewpoints without getting "triggered" and start name calling and attacking.
We're done here now, right? No point wasting any more time?
Removing people who aren't allowed to vote from voting rolls? You're against that?
Funny how this "the election was stolen" narrative is taking hold among the left now, despite laughing off any suggestion from the far right of it happening in 2020 lol.
