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?

    I doubt the /s would’ve done much at that rate.

    Hanlon’s Razor aside it feels like a backdoor effort to silence critics of insane fascists, supremicists and techbros. Smh.
