Made a snarky, obviously sarcastic comment basically word for word: “Yeah, women didn’t even exist until the 1920s and Asians are a myth” In response to a racist jerk complaining that a depiction of 1880s Chicago was “too diverse”.
So 4 days later Reddit slaps me with a permanent ban for violating rule 1 “hate”.
The really effed up part is the offending comment was summarily removed and therefore not even quoted in the ban notice. Meaning that after 4 days I didnt immediately recall the now missing comment and could only appeal based the general fact that I mock racists.
This is some absolute bullshit. And now that I recall the basic wording I cant even add to the appeal.
Is Reddit trying extra hard to suck now or what.
Any alternatives to force a response and ecpme action of this nonsense?
Moderators cannot understand context, sarcasm or satire. Most of them have an intellect and attention span similar to GNU grep utility.
You were misunderstood and banned. That’s how modern life is.
or subtlety. I was once banned by admins for explaining how criticizing a religion’s official dogma is different from hate speech against individuals who practice the religion.
my last ban was for pointing out racist attacks against my local mayor
apparently pointing out hate is promoting it now.
