I thought I'd see what r/conservative is looking like these days. I expected them to be twisting themselves in knots to justify the recent murders, but (AFAIK) a fresh twist is that most of the posts to r/conservative are now limiting who can comment on them.
Including this gem:
I had my reddit account banned for 3 days this week, for responding to a post by a MAGA racist on r/canada.
After reviewing, we found that you broke Rule 1 because you promoted identity-based hate or attacks. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people.
Not sure what I said (can't check because they removed it) but no worse than what I have said here about MAGA. All I think I said was that I was tired of moronic MAGA commentors in r/Canada.
So MAGA is a marginalized or vulnerable group that needs protecting, while it goes about the business of spewing it's racist propaganda in Canada. FFS.
I'm figuring the MAGA troll provokes people, then runs to reddit to get them banned as a way of making sure their message stays dominant.
The week before, I was giving a warning, again on r/Canada for suggesting that if we were invaded by the USA, we should not get into a straight up shooting war but use guerilla tactics...
After reviewing, we found that you broke Rule 1 because you threatened violence or physical harm. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for threatening violence against people or animals. We don’t tolerate any behavior that threatens violence or physical harm against an individual, groups of people, places, or animals. Any communities or people that threaten violence towards an individual, group, animals, or place will be banned.
So I'm threatening violence by suggesting we fight back
if invaded...
I really think we need more non-US social media, where it's increasingly being used for US fascist propaganda, and to silence opposing viewpoints.
