MODERATORS
i got booted from Reddit for saying "fuck Ukraine" in respose to some idiot praising a Van Gogh painting for "having the colors of the Ukraine flag". It was my third strike on Reddit. After explaining to the moderator of that particular sub that I was just irritated at the idea of politics creeping into art apreciation (and the fact that the painting in question was painted 100 years before Ukraine was a country), they recinded my strike, but too late apparently- still banned. I get a cute little red hammer emoji next to my name when I try to log on, which I haven't bothered trying to do for 8 or 9 months now.
You got banned for being obnoxious. Which you know, and get off on. For the good of the fediverse I hope you grew up a bit in those 8/9mos. Trolling is boring for everyone but you.
Just being obnoxious isn't a crime, but that's not enough of a reason to get a ding. I've seen way worse comments to others and to myself from assholes on reddit who never got banned. "fOr ThE sAkE oF tHe FeDiVeRse, I dO dEcLaIr..." seriously with this shit? This place is already turning into Reddit. Apparently trolling isn't boring for you yet, huh?
The internet is not a court of law. Go outside.
to make that statement right now with current world affairs is pretty shortsighted.
Reddit was heavily taken over by Russian bots the past few years, so any impropriety in regards to the Ukraine war is taken as that person likely being a Russian bot or propagandist. Hence the ban, which was arguably not that unjustified.
The Steele Dossier debunked the whole Russian bot thing. Assange proved that that was some shit Killary pulled out of her twat because her plan to run against an orange gameshow clown backfired. If you still watch CNN, MSNBC or Fox to find out what's going on in the world, then you are still just a brainwashed drone.
