I’ve been reading a lot of comments lately about people getting banned for really mundane things. Some as much as upvoting a comment.
My 11 year old reddit account got banned. I still don’t know exactly what I said but I believe it was for talking about the US invading Canada and how we Canadians would fight back.
I think the funniest thing was getting banned from r/politics for posting two lines from the lyrics of Kidnap the Sandy Claws - a song from a kids movie Nightmare Before Christmas. A KIDS MOVIE!
“Kidnap the Sandy Claws, throw him in a box. Bury him for ninety years, then see if he talks”
I don’t even remember the context of posting it, but it was about Santa Claus. You know, a fictional character.
Pathetic.
Yesterday, CBSNews posted an article about the 60 or so South African refugees boarding a plane to the US. Someone commented something like, “So we’re deporting Venezuelan and El Salvadoran refugees, but bringing in SA refugees?” I commented on top of that, “I dunno, something didn’t seem white.” The post got deleted and I got a 3 day ban for violating rule #1, hate speech (or some shit like that). I one-upped them and uninstalled the reddit app. Good luck in your future endeavors.
