Someone made a post with a picture of a blonde haired blue eyed child. The title was “Would you slap this child for 88 million dollars?”

I said “Slap!?!?? I would eat that child’s still beating heart for 88 million dollars.”

Next day I log in to find out I had been temp banned for 7 days for sexualization/abuse of a minor.

I uninstalled Reddit. That was 11 days ago and I haven’t been back. Context is important. Obviously, no one is going to offer me 88 million dollars to eat a child’s heart. Not to mention, do you really want to make deals with people that can offer that to you? I mean, I wouldn’t.

All this has led me to realize. I don’t want to be part of a community with no sense of humor.

I would post a link but not only was my comment deleted. The thread was too I think.

    blonde haired blue eyed child

    88 million dollars

    I wonder if the post was actually a dog whistle for other people that sympathize with Nazis. Sus af

    Probably looking too much into it.

    I got perma-banned for pointing out that if we wanted to find out if ancient execution methods worked there were plenty of child molesters around.

    Literally the next day their was a huge thread at the top of the technology subreddit saying all kinds of shit like that about printer company executives. I appealed asking what the difference was and all I got back was a canned response. I checked a few days later and all the comments on that thread were still there.

    The only conclusion I can make from this is that Reddit wants to be a safe space for child molesters specifically which seems pretty sus to me.

    I once created a LPT post about how rotating different shampoos can help prevent your body from developing tolerance (this is still a great LPT by the way; if you have dandruff or some other bodily condition like dry skin and your shampoo or lotion loses efficacy over time, try buying a few different types and rotating your usage so you don’t develop tolerance). Aaaanyway, my post got deleted for being “medical advice.” Reddit kids are the worst.

      That’s like an actual advice I got from an hairdresser when I was younger. Absolutely cleared my dandruff issue

    I used to mod some big subs and saw one of the dumbest ways the admins banned someone.

    So one of the mods I knew posted a video of a picture containing a microwave with Alvin & The Chipmunks photoshopped in. The video had audio of a microwave turned on with high pitched screaming too.

    That 14 second video he posted on a sub he modded got the admins to permanently ban him across Reddit and then refuses to ever reply to him when he asked why. It was perfectly acceptable for that subreddit too.

    Hell I even started a conversation with some admins for some other issues and asked them about it. They ignored that question completely lol.

    I don’t regret leaving that site. I do regret modding big subs tho lmao.

      This happened in holup. One of the most ridiculous subs. I mean since they got rid of spacedicks and watchpeopledie. You know, all the good stuff.

        Most of spacedicks was just stupid stuff (and I think one or two actual space dicks) last time I looked. It was the kind of sub you’d browse once for the laughs and then never have any urge to go back unless someone linked to it. And the warnings were waaaaaayyyy overdone, to the point that when it got banned I remember being shocked that anyone would genuinely be offended by it.

        I’ll never understand it, lol. But now I don’t have to, so there’s that. Couldn’t pay me to go back now.

      There’s a whole new group of reddit users who only know it via the official mobile app. Gone are the days when people were playing spot the mobile user, it’s quickly becoming “Spot the old reddit user”.

    Honestly that’s pretty bad compared to some of the times I got banned over the years. I got banned once for pointing out that a post about not wanting to talk to men about feminism was toxic and detrimental to spreading understanding of ideas. The mods of some of the subs will just ban you for saying something is illogical.
