Reddit did me dirty. I did them too. This is the story of how I got a permanent ban from Reddit for developing a non-commercial open-source client called Geddit.

      I got banned for fighting pedophiles over stupid Dr disrespect drama. Stupid as in Doctor disrespect is a pedophile and his fans made excuses. I went into their sub like the little dumbass I am and picked fights with pedophiles about why “he didn’t break any laws” isn’t incompatible with him being a fucking pedophile and reddit banned me for “distributing child sexual content”. For telling people that just because it’s legal to fuck a 16 year old in Alabama doesn’t mean your not a fucking pedo.

      Appealed and denied at that.

      I shouldn’t go picking fights in bees nests, or at all generally. Bad for your mental health and all. But still disturbs me that reddit won’t ban the pedophile defenders but will ban someone picking fights with them.

      I still have Reddit account (since 2012) and I was never been banned there… Because I barely use it. In few days, I’ve been using Lemmy (and Mastodon) more than I ever used Reddit in years, because I value and like decentralized and open platforms.

      24 hour ban. Because I told a terf to “go die” when she was advocating for post op trans women to be placed in men’s prison.

      Like, nah. I ain’t gonna let someone play me like that.
