I've always wanted to talk about how weird it was scrolling through reddit and then suddenly seeing myself on the front page. I was banned from reddit for talking about politics (I am anti trump) on the air force reddit so I wasn't even able to comment on a post about me.

For some backstory, I was returning from a Halloween cruise and it was the only clean shirt I had left (I was planning on wearing it during the cruise as there were no children allowed on the cruise and with the theme I thought it would get a few laughs or at least start a conversation). I never did though and doing laundry on a cruise was quite expensive (I think 50 dollars per load or something like that). I tried to hide the shirt as best I could throughout the day as I do think it was slightly inappropriate to wear in a public setting.

For the record, I love all the comments roasting me and I laughed all fucking day reading them!

Anyways, I have always wanted to publicly talk about this and in my search for reddit alternatives I found lemmy so here we are. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

I hate this "culture" (?) of recording/photographing strangers and posting them online, but on the other hand this is sooo funny. I'm sorry it happened to you lmao.

What I said to my ex (paraphrasing) “Yeah don’t get me wrong, I love big titties, but I’m more interested in the girl they’re attached to”

You know, I think if I was in this situation I would just wear the shirt inside out

[-] DominicG@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

I honestly didn't think about that. But I also didn't think it was that big of a deal either.

[-] riskable@programming.dev 17 points 2 months ago

It's not a big deal. It's silly and hilarious. Own it 😁

[-] DominicG@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Oh yeah, I love it lol.

[-] MonkeyDumpster@lemmy.org 3 points 3 months ago

Did you get approached by any big tiddy goth girls?

[-] DominicG@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

They swarmed me.

After a few weeks it got so out of hand that you actually had to change shirts!

[-] DominicG@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Actually, i'm like Doug Funny, I only have one outfit...

So Reddit banned you and is now profiting having your picture on their homepage? I would do a takedown request.

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

[-] GhostPain@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

LPT. When being forced to wear shirts with questionable graphics, turn them inside out.

Not 100% guaranteed but better than ending up on Reddit.

[-] _cnt0@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

Or just don't give a fuck.

Story time: I had to give a presentation on a group project at university. I was wearing a shirt with a fist silhouette on it, which you could have mistaken as a symbol of a political movement, had there not been the text "nothing says I love you quite like fisting". Over lunch I had to go home, ~6km, on a bicycle, in the summer, on short notice, because of the plumber being in the house. So I was sweating like fuck and changed shirts. For some reason our team got summoned up to the front again later and my shirt read "I have 5 stars on youporn" with five stars over it. This was in front of 5 professors, ~10 post docs and university employees and ~80 students. On my way out from the cafeteria I greeted the hot blonde from engineering, who looked like she could be an adult content actress, and she laughed the cutest snort-laugh in a shockingly deep voice I've ever heard. Most of the profs "loved" me by the way; three of them competed over getting me into their projects and supervising my master thesis.

Not the complement you think it is.

[-] _cnt0@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

It wasn't really meant as a compliment. She usually looked like she was coming straight from the set of a porn movie. But I think, like me, she wasn't giving a fuck either. She was good at what she did and the right hand of the head of the engineering faculty. Don't judge a book by its cover, I guess?

Were you banned from the AF subreddit or from reddit completely? If so I don't see how complaining about trump would get you banned from reddit.

Anyway, did you find those big tiddies?

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Nobody?! Aight OP, Imma take the shot.

Can't believe y'all let OP slide on this!

It's crazy how rare it is to see someone reading a book while waiting nowadays. Good on you.

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Trending on reddit, comes on Lemmy to talk about it. I love it!

[-] moakley@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I drew a comic of myself once that got turned into a meme. So I totally get how surreal it is to be scrolling through the front page of reddit and unexpectedly seeing a picture of yourself. Although mine was certainly under more pleasant circumstances.

In any case you seem to have a positive outlook on the whole thing, which is great.

[-] Harvey656@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Sick shirt. Welcome to Lemmy! Great place to talk about political stuff! And also never ever see anything but politics god I'm so tired of seeing trumps face...

Anyway, welcome to the fediverse, did I mention I use linux?

Least horny redditor

[-] Wiwiweb@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

I was banned from reddit for talking about politics (I am anti trump) on the air force reddit so I wasn't even able to comment on a post about me.

I know this is Lemmy and Reddit is bad etc., but FYI when you get banned from one subreddit by its mods, it doesn't ban you from the entirety of Reddit. You could comment if you wanted.

[-] DominicG@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

I was temp banned a few times from the air force reddit and then I think they reported it to the admins because I had a perma ban. I tried making another account and it shortly got banned as well. It's definitely a site wide ban.

[-] caradenada@feddit.cl 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Ah, yeah, when you create another account to bypass a subreddit ban (or if they think you did it for that reasons), the admins suspend your account. It can be very hard to come back after that, because all future accounts could be flagged as trying to bypass the sanctions.

TBF, even if it isn't a perfect system, as an ex mod of a very active sub (a national sub), I prefer that the admins take actions.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago

when you get banned from one subreddit by its mods, it doesn't ban you from the entirety of Reddit.

Sure, but unlike Lemmy, the admins CAN ban you from all of Reddit, permanently, for little to no reason.

They can do it with ample reason too though, tbf 🤷

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

You can absolutely get a total site ban with no reason.

All it takes is some offended moderator to cry to site admins, and more frequently than not its because you dared to not press puckered lips against the pumpkin colored donut hole of their false-god emperor.

I'd wager good money on the fact that they even run bot nets that mass report any undesirable comment, cause mass reports tend to provoke sitewide bans real fast. possibly automatically

The only sad thing about this post is that big tiddy goth girls won't know to find you on lemmy. Redditor failed at marketing.

This is funny! Own it.
