Admins said it was promoting hate against a vulnerable minority. I don’t care about the account, but that part made me furious. Why kowtow to russia?

I had previous temp bans for saying things like what should happen to nazis (they called it promoting violence 🙄) and other times calling out russian trolls.

That site has really gone to shit since their acquisition. They let trolls run free, and ban people for calling them out.

      Screenshots can be easily manipulated by Inspect Element. Like for example:

      There’s no way for us to authenticate OP’s claim with 100% certainty unless we had access to Reddit’s backend and could verify the comment history directly.

      Plus, this story was told entirely from OP’s perspective. Can we verify with 100% certainty that that was exactly what was said? Are we for certain that OP didn’t say anything else? How do we know if the full sentence wasn’t “Go back to the muscovite empire and I hope your entire family gets raped”?

      And how do we know Reddit didn’t see a larger pattern of TOS-breaking comments and simply included one excerpt in the ban notice to OP? I know for Reddit moderators, they’re restricted to being able to include only one single rule-infringing comment in a ban notification sent to users, even if multiple messages were problematic. I wouldn’t be surprised if Reddit admins had the same limitation.

      That’s why I always take “I got banned by Reddit admins” posts on the Fediverse with a grain of salt. There’s too much missing information to judge. OP might be telling the truth, or they might not. I don’t have enough evidence either way, so I’ll reserve judgment and move on.

      The dude was trying to accuse Mamdani of genocide. There’s no way anyone could argue that in good faith. After he ignored multiple prompts to suggest a better alternative, I lost patience with him.

      So many bad faith actors out there trying to divide the left with petty squabbles and ideological purity tests, which they plainly will never be satisfied on. Not worth engaging with.
