I was just interested to see how much had changed since December when I was randomly banned with no reason given and the appeal went unheard.

I was just planning to browse and not log in but it immediately gave me a pop-up notification to create an account.

Curious if it would allow me, I submitted the application and it went through without problem.

I didn’t want to draw too much attention to myself, so I didn’t comment or post for the first month.

Then, I made another mistake. I got invested, again and it didn’t take long before it inevitably became political.

I posted a reply to someone who had clearly been chugging the orange kool-aid. Nothing terrible, just what I thought was objective reality, easily verifiable through past reporting through many credible media outlets.

But, reddit is going to reddit. Somehow objective reality has been classified as hate speech on reddit.

I’m not surprissd. Just a little disappointed.

I appealed, I do not expect a reply.

Previously, I had been on reddit for 10 years without much incident.

This time I lasted only 2 months

    Not following. Sounds like you were both in agreement? Or was the post above that relevant?

      I think the context of the original thread was something about Greta Thunberg and trying to say she is a terrorist for going to Gaza or something ridiculous and they tried to use the Trump not actually going to the Capitol building against the argument that Trump was responsible for the Jan 6th insurrection

      I don’t know, I was just trying to neutralize the crazy with objective reality

      Yeah, same here. The second question is rhetorical. He was clearly in agreement. Not sure why that guy was down voted or why OP was banned.

        First comment absolutely was saying Trump was responsible even though he didn’t go inside himself. Yet OP and others downvotes it and and upvoted the same sentiment in OP’s comment.

        Why OP was banned, I have no idea. There was no hate in the comment in the screenshot. I’m assuming it is the same comment in the link.
