Isolation is how abuse happens.

Isolating children from the knowledge they can use to express how and if their boundaries are crossed only serves predators.

I said something similar on r/politics on Reddit and they banned me for homophobia. I was like WTF?

[-] ripcord@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I feel like there must be a lot of context missing there.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

There really wasn't. I said kids need sex education at a young age so they know what a 'bad touch' is and I was banned for homophobia out of the blue. And when I tried to get a clarification, they muted me.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Okay, what context would you like?

[-] psychothumbs@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The text of your comment that got you banned

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Sorry, I don't have a photographic memory. Suffice it to say, it didn't mention LGBT+ people in any context, which is why it was out of the blue.

[-] psychothumbs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Huh? Just look at it and copy and paste it!

Not that I really care, I'm just saying that's the context that would be useful.

[-] Uranium3006@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I don't know for sure but Reddit treated me that way too

[-] Uranium3006@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Knowing reddit these days, probably not

[-] roy_mustang76@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

The context is that the mods of r/politics have long had a reputation for being inconsistent and erratic in various ways.

Obviously I don't actually know the full context, but it strikes me as utterly plausible given the likelihood of a report by someone who disagreed with them and a mod team prone to shooting from the hip

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

The context is that reddit is run by nazi sympathizers.

[-] Uranium3006@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Reddit's ran by nazis

[-] eran_morad@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Reddit is dumb like that

[-] Uranium3006@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

And that, indeed, is the purpose.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
