UPDATE EDIT: https://i.imgur.com/5nM7cBC.png I got unbanned.
Context: I was making fun of a conservative who suggested everyone who supports Ukraine should join the war. In other words, I was making fun of a person who seemingly was the one inciting violence by telling people to go to war.

I got perma-banned for saying I wish Marjorie Taylor green would trip and swallow her own head.
That sub is the biggest amalgamation of whiny pussies you can find on Reddit.*
Which is an accomplishment.
The best part is: They laugh at the liberal left for being trigger happy snowflakes that need a safe space because they are too scared of being bullied aka. disagreed with, WHILE CREATING A SAFE SPACE BECAUSE THEY ARE TRIGGER HAPPY SNOWFLAKES WHO BAN ANYONE WHO MIGHT DISAGREE WITH THEM BECAUSE TO THEM THATS LIKE BULLYING.
*Formal apology to anatomical pussies. You don’t deserve to be compared to that
I would have to surmise it was likely an automod ban for including the phrase “kill yourself” in the comment, regardless of the context. The bots don’t look at context, and is why they suck so fucking much.
I gave up on Reddit after a decade last month because I could no longer post ANYTHING without getting banned. It became a much bigger source of stress than it was informative or entertaining. My mental health has been much improved since I deleted my account.
I think the moderator in question deliberately misinterpreted your comment as TELLING the right wingers to kill themselves in ukraine rather than paraphrase quoting them SAYING it themselves.
they misconstrued a my comments in different acc, the ban made no sense at all, it, they know they have conservative brigading and banning people like op, and they allow it. that sub will ban you with the slightest hint of no- gobbling trumps dick, furthermore its also a troll haven for RU. plenty of political, and politics adjacent subs will do the same thing.
Maybe not deliberate, text does not translate nuance very well and when I first read fhe comment, when OP said “Left: / Right:” I first read it like they were directly addressing those people. OP could have worded this better to not have confusion like this happen if that is not what they meant.
And even though there was actually no threat of violence, disputing the ban will do nothing because there are no humans reviewing the ban appeals (speaking from experience)
Yup I got a permanent ban for saying something about tossing a particular president in the wood chipper… only yo come across a sub where everyone was literally saying the same thing… like wtf
The thread itself is such a stupid gotcha as well. “Oh if you like Ukraine so much go die in Donetsk!” Lol no bro there is such a huge gulf between “we should help Ukranians fight for their freedom with military equipment/funding” and “I personally will die for Ukraine” that the point doesn’t even get off the ground
I already assume half the posters are bots or shills. No use in arguing with NPCs
I got a “warning” for replying to someone joking “maybe it’s your fault for breathing lol”. Wouldn’t even tell me what I did, the whole thread was a joke, not serious at all.
On fb, I once got a 72hr ban for writing “Blow up your TV”, on a post relating to John Prine, for … you guessed it - “Inciting Violence”.
I deleted that 20yo account on Jan 20th.
I got temp banned twice for quoting from The Godfather (I guess the algorhythm hasn’t seen it) and then perm banned for various Dt related quips and “ban avoidance”. Shit is exhausting.
I usually put comments like this in quotations to make it clearer that I’m not endorsing the heinous statement.
I mean I get what you were saying but lots of people like to misinterpret things so it’s just easier to make it super obvious.
