I've confirmed this with multiple accounts now. If you promote the 2nd amendment, including training responsibly with others, your account will be autobanned within 60 seconds.

To be clear, my comments contained exactly zero calls to violence. They were simple comments stating every American has the right to arm themselves and that everyone should train responsibly, ideally with others who are more experienced.

I've had 4 or 5 accounts autobanned within a minute now. All immediately after posting pro 2nd amendment comments. These accounts were anywhere from 1 week to multiple months old. So they're not brand new accounts that are being flagged for whatever reason.

Reddit is now complicit in the fascist takeover of our nation.


EDIT: Been testing some more with a 2 week old account. Discovered that Reddit is also autobanning accounts that use the word "guillotine". I left a comment that literally only consisted of the word "guillotine", no other context at all, and within 30 seconds I was auto-suspended for 3 days.

If the mod who was in here telling people I was lying with no proof whatsoever, and who also lied about testing my methods, would like to test this out, or lie about testing it out, that would be great.

And, for the record, my username for the account just suspended actually has the word "Guillotine" in it. So apparently their bots don't screen usernames. Just contents of comments, and I'm assuming posts. I don't bother posting on Reddit, so I don't know about that one.

As I originally stated, Reddit is complicit in the fascist takeover of our nation.


Edit 2: Despite a mod on this sub claiming that I'm lying and threatening to delete this post, here is more proof from users on Reddit that Reddit is, in fact, auto banning users for discussing our Constitutional rights.

I've been seeing more and more Reddit users talking about this.

Why do you keep saying this without quoting what you posted?

Repeat what you said if it’s so normal

Ok.

Figured others had experienced the same thing and wanted to chip in their experiences or, if they cared enough, could test it out on their own.

Either way, the comment was auto-deleted by Reddit so I'm just paraphrasing anyway.

I stated that everyone should exercise their 2A right and arm themselves. And if they are already experienced with firearms they should help others who are interested arm themselves and help them train. I also pointed out that, in this political climate, if they want to chat with friends/family about purchasing firearms, they may want to use an end-to-end encrypted messaging app.

That's it. That was the content of my comment. None of that is questionable. None of that breaks Reddit site wide rules. None of it is a call to violence. And, not that it matters on a privately owned platform, but all of that is supported by our Constitution.

Also, why did you say

Why do you keep saying this

This is the first post I've ever made about this. I've never even made a comment on Lemmy about this.

Quote it. What did the comment say?

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago

Dude.

You're a moderator.

Learn how to read.

When Reddit bans you for a comment they DELETE THE COMMENT.

I've already, in multiple responses to others on this post, tried to detail what was in the comment as closely as I could.

You sound like you want me to verbatim recreate a comment I posted that was deleted when you probably are well aware that Reddit deletes the comment.

Is this a mod power trip?

Screen grabbed.

If it were a mod power trip, your post or comment would be deleted lol

“As closely as I could” yet you seem unable to restate the content any better than “I supported the second amendment”.

If the pro-2A comments are automatically deleted, why are there subreddits full of them?

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
