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.
Reddit has been complicit in the rise of facism for a while.
Far-right nuts have been screaming about that 2nd amendment you guys have for decades.
Now that left-wingers are talking about it… it’s a problem.
Pretty sure you need to make a fash account if you want to post about that kind of stuff.

Fuck Reddit fuck spez

Dont let them take your guns
1.) Reddit isn’t going to do that and 2.) OP is a ridiculous liar.
They’re clearly not talking about reddit.
This a stupid fucking lie, idiots will believe ANYTHING.
Anyone who spends any amount of time there knows this false. The fuck is wrong with you, OP?
I got banned for suggesting we criminally prosecute Elon musk as an enemy of the state.
I got banned for suggesting someone in Trump’s administration should get the death penalty for something that you can actually get the death penalty for.
It could seem to be a possibility from the perspective of OP. Once they ban any account, they usually flag the rest of accounts. They’ve been implementing browser fingerprinting to avoid the ease people had switching over to other account by switching IPs and clearing out account information. They are willing and have even encouraged people to have alt accounts, but the moment they piss off the admins, those alts are just “ban evasion”.
When they do ban, they don’t need much of a reason, they just cite blanket community guidelines, and the only recourse is a review process they can just tell you they reviewed themselves and found they did nothing wrong. It just has to catch their eye in some place they care about. A popular one is protesting or making any comment critical against Israel in the worldnews subreddit.
The admins are willing to do a lot of shitty stuff on the backend - sort of happens when you appoint a CEO who edited user comments without consent. Unlike other CEO’s like Elon or Mark, they are much smarter about it and are aware that if they do it en masse they are going to piss people off. That they can be that much more of a calculating psychopath just makes them that much more dangerous in my book.
They’ve recently shifted from promoting large subreddits into the propaganda bubble slop farms the rest of the social networks are doing. If you want to experience it, join up on some new device and subscribe to a sub like conservative. Sites like reveddit no longer work, you are just asking for it if you main reddit. They even have AI profiling users automatically now. Expect to have a voice, as long as it follows the circlejerk they lead you to follow. Otherwise, expect to be Nosedived between shadow bans, silent comment removals, and the possibility of an eventual ban.
“We need guns in case of tyranny!”
(Tyranny happens.)
“You are now banned for discussing guns!”
The tyrants needed the guns.
That’s because guns do nothing against tyranny except increase the justification (see my other comment a few days ago abt defending myself against armed corrupt police while unarmed myself)
seems to me its the ONLY solution to tyranny that has been successful this far
My previous comment: Exactly I’ve never needed a gun I think its purely marketing and social expectations causing Americans to default to “muh guns” when someone’s mentioned self defense. Like if ur up against guns js wear body armour at all times rather than trying to be john wick.
Editing to add my other comment which adds why it acc worsens tyranny: I’ve been stabbed too. Ive never felt the need to carry a gun. I face a lot of risk anytime I leave my house esp rn acc due to political unrest essentially I still don’t feel the need for guns yet the government do feel the need for arming trained police (known for corruption and violence where I’m from) who I think are a lot more likely to kill me than someone w a knife. As I mentioned tho I still don’t feel the need to arm myself against those people infact doing so would worsen the situation as I’d be more of a threat and could be further used for the narrative justifying the arming of police in the first place
Edit: if an unarmed person is shot by police even if its attempted to be covered up the people who were there will know what happened. if I try to shoot the police because im threatened and they shoot back that’s going to worsen things. I don’t see how its better to carry a gun in this situation
Funny how it’s been a thing for YEARS without autobanning. When it was “I need my guns to stand against tyranny if it shows up at my door”, there were no autobans. Now that tyranny is actually at the door, they autoban.
It was just an excuse, they never meant it.
This autoban has no fahrvergnugen.
Yeah you’re just lying dude, this place has a weird hard on for lying about Reddit.
The 2nd amendment is brought up constantly there.
Yup. I mentioned it and was warned.
Sure you were
Bastard and his bots will always banhammer anyone even remotely talking about committing violence. He doesn’t like progressives contaminating his LLM farming data to sell for.
So fuck you spez.
r/gunsforsale used to be a thing.
Fucking shouldn’t be. Unregulated private sales are a problem.
Nah, I bought a couple things on there and did a federal background check every time. It’s the law. If I didn’t do that, I’d be a criminal.
There is no law requiring background checks for private sales, they’re unregulated.
Well that depends on many things actually, this isn’t exactly true.
In the case of sites like reddit, it’s mostly through mail, meaning it would have to be mailed from an FFL to one near you where they do a background check. If it’s in person, that still depends on state laws, some allow it, some allow rifles but handguns must be NICS checked, in some states it must go through NICS.
For law-abiding citizens, yes. Those prohibited from buying guns can’t do private sales. Otherwise it’s a crime.
A quick lurk shows there are posts on liberalgunowners referencing current events. What exactly were you trying to post?
Just lurk on reddit. Don’t contribute anything there. Leech like u/spez does & you’ll be happier.
When my accounts were permanently banned I spammed AI gibberish into all of my past comments. Salt the earth and deny them any benefit from your efforts.
Just leave reddit already, it doesn’t have anything of value.
It’s the same thing as bitching about Facebook while still using it.
The smaller niche communities can still have something of value, but I only read, never contribute.
It stopped being helpful years ago, I no longer trust advice on there since It’s usually an ad or someone insulting the poster for not knowing the answer because they have a life outside of being on reddit 24/7
But I need to know if a manager providing feminine hygiene products makes them the asshole
Only things I really miss not being able to post on reddit are the forums for magic the gathering, and Project Diablo 2.
But also do it with SearXNG search engine when possible so you can get a direct Internet Archive link.
