I’ve confirmed this with multiple accounts now. If you promote the 2nd amendment, including training responsibly with others, your account will be autobanned within 60 seconds.

To be clear, my comments contained exactly zero calls to violence. They were simple comments stating every American has the right to arm themselves and that everyone should train responsibly, ideally with others who are more experienced.

I’ve had 4 or 5 accounts autobanned within a minute now. All immediately after posting pro 2nd amendment comments. These accounts were anywhere from 1 week to multiple months old. So they’re not brand new accounts that are being flagged for whatever reason.

Reddit is now complicit in the fascist takeover of our nation.

    That person doesn’t seem willing to share any details of their setup, but you don’t have to take them at their word.

    Just search “arm yourself” on Reddit and you’ll see a ton of such messages, from non banned accounts, posted in the last few hours and beyond. Most of them are written in the context of the current regime and the ICE shooting too so the premise of this whole post seems to be wrong. Most of them are on subs that are wildly anti-regime and don’t mince words about it.

    OP seems to think they have perfect opsec which is generally a sign of mediocre opsec. I’d take their conclusions with a huge grain of salt.

      You can take as many grains of salt as you want. Open a salt mine.

      If you read through my comments I’ve made it clear that I believe it is a combination of keywords that are initiating these auto-bans. But those keywords aren’t breaking site rules. It is a behind-the-scenes effort by Reddit to ban users who have used a combination of these key words in their comments, despite those key words not amounting to breaking any rules.

      So “arm yourself” alone won’t get you banned, and nowhere, in any of my comments, did I imply that. In my original post I paraphrased what got me banned this time because Reddit deleted the comment so I couldn’t copy/paste. But that paraphrase includes a few key things that I think triggers an auto-ban.

      So if I said “arm youself” and “train” and “fascist” in the same comment, that could be what triggers the auto-ban. But those key words alone don’t break any site rules and I didn’t include them in a configuration that implied violence. So I could say

      “We live in scary political times. Fascism has come to America. The founding fathers provided us with the 2nd Amendment and that gives you the right to arm yourself for self defense, but you should be responsible about it. If you’re experienced with firearms you should help others arm themselves if they’re interested and help them train responsibly.”

      and that would initiate the ban. That’s actually pretty damn close to the comment I posted. And pretty damn close to the other 2A comments that got my other accounts auto-banned.

      The bans are too instantaneous to be reviewed by any human. This current account that was banned was MONTHS old with HUNDREDS of comments in opposition to what’s going on right now. Something IN THAT COMMENT got me auto-banned. And this is the same chain of events that have happened to a number of my MONTHS old accounts. And every time it’s a comment I had just posted so it’s fresh in my mind and I know I didn’t break any site rules. I’ve been on Reddit long enough to know how to play the game of saying things without being too forward about it. Especially once I started seeing this trend regarding 2A comments.
