I came across a post on Reddit showing Mussolini at the end of his career, specifically him hanged from his ankles in the Piazzale Loreto. I left a comment, “we didn’t get the chance to do this with Hitler, but we should make this traditional.” Yes, not the most benign comment, but far “threatening violence or physical harm,” at least I think so. A bot must have come across that and thought “beep boop,” because suddenly my account was permanently banned. It’s honestly insulting that a human took no part in this process.

    I hope that you’re not feeling genuinely suicidal currently. I’ve had to explain to people in the past that having a “way out” can be comforting enough to keep depressed folks from being suicidal, but if it ever gets to be too much, I’m here for you. You can shoot me a DM.

      Thank you, that’s kind. I promised my family I wouldn’t ever do that to them, and I intend to keep that promise unless it’s a pretty extreme condition like the painful end stages of a terminal illness or apocalyptic scenario. The thought of them getting that visit from the police and putting them through that grief is too much.
