I was banned for warning people i would punch them if they upvoted violent content and to knock it off. If spez doesnt want my help then he can go back to his personally moderated kiddy porn subreddits
With doxxing being the threat it is, I kind of get why a mod wouldn't be comfortable with that. The absolute last thing any mod acting in good faith wants is for someone to track down and hurt in real life a member of their community. Telling people you will punch them for upvoting violent content could be seen as the first step to doxxing someone. It's a bit over sensitive but we've all heard true horror stories about people getting doxxed.

It’s becoming Facebook. A cesspool of people just reverberating off of each other.
At least on Facebook you practically always choose friends to add, groups to join, pages to follow, etc. A surprisingly large number of Reddit users just stick to the default subreddits.

It's so ironic how a site with a leftist lean just chose to alienate their core base. I guess their hope conservatives and liberals staying will make up for it? Lol
Leftist lean is a bit of an understatement. It's not just Reddit. In general, the radical left is being recognized for the violence and chaos they've spread over the last decade and the government is realizing they were left unchecked for too long.
Now they're just being treated the same as the radical right.

I'd not be dismayed to see a bit of violence and chaos from the radical left but I'm struggling to think of examples - do you have some?

I don’t see the radical left being courted by the president, so I think your comment is presenting a bit of a false equivalence, champ.

It's crazy that a pendulum swings drastically back and forth isn't it? Not a false equivalency if you have any understanding of historical geopolitics.
If you marginalized and de platform an entire half of your voter base, and cancel people for taking a centrist stance, they're more likely to band together against your cause, doing more harm long term than if you just toed a rational line.
IE. Because the right were treated the way you are now being treated for so long, they're were polarized and radicalized to the result of who your president is now.
Also, not American, this isn't just an American thing. This is happening globally.

IMO, Facebook is Only good for keeping track of your relatives you don’t feel like visiting.

Fight is violence, no? So you're banned! Please, don't write anything. Because you're banned and that's how ban works
Man, it's getting so hard to talk about video games, these days...

Ever since Spez took over, Reddit have been incredibly heavy-handed when it comes to enforcing their rules against inciting or glorifying violence, even if such a comment is directed towards people that are objectively hated, like nazis, pedophiles and child murderers. To that I'm not even remotely surprised that you got banned.
Even posting that Nazis deserve to be punched in the face can get you a permanent ban from Reddit...

Same. I know a few people on their I won’t or rarely see in person and I like to see what they’re up to in general life.

Rights you probably take for granted were won by people blowing stuff up or attacking and even killing people.

Yeah, I was banned for talking about suicidal thoughts, so they’re definitely going to ban me if I say Luigi Mangione is my hero and did a beautiful thing.
Are you in a better place now?

i guess if viewed from an overly protective POV and maybe in a sensitive subreddit in subject matter, but in the more generic subs that make it to Popular regularly, quality shit posting needs to be considered and applauded as being such. Like if it was a subreddit for survivors of being punched by redditors, i would not make such a comment, very poor taste.

What violence and chaos has the radical left spread in the last decade, pray tell

Okay, what violence did the pro-palestine movement spread, exactly?
I can accept that some buildings got torched and property values temporarily reduced during the George Floyd protests, but when I hear violence, I think harm against flesh and blood, which the police did much, much more of. I can't think of many instances where the protestors did that.

Yeah, thank you. My post was really just a "if things get bad enough, I can always blow my brains out which gives me a strange sense of comfort" sort of thing and it was flagged as threats of violence... against myself I guess? Silly. I will of course do my best to not let things get to that point and try to look for the positives in life.

We absolutely see lots of news about these violent communist uprisings. Definitely not something you're imagining. Not at all.
