Honestly, I’d be interested to hear about your adventures.

    I posted a picture of the non existent genitals of a Ken doll with the caption, “Elon’s Penis,” In political humor.

    Remember when Elon Musk had that black eye and said his son punched him? I said “can’t blame him”. Which is, of course, glorifying violence.

    Banned for going after Israel and IDF shills promoting hate speech and calling for violence. Clear violations of the TOS, even back in 2023, but reporting it got me perma-banned after 13 years.

    Lol I recently had a comment removed from the bogleheads subreddit because some guy was talking about buying a bit more of their usual index fund purchases if the market were to dump 20% in a day. Someone asked how they’d do it and I said “probably just shift a bit from emergency fund and build it back over the next month or two.”

    Cue the True Bogleheads ripping me for suggesting “timing the market.” I said “this is, of course, fine.” And they went nuclear. That comment got removed and I replied to the mod with “You got your head pretty far up your bogle there, bud.” That got me a 3 day full reddit ban. Worth it.

    For the uninitiated, bogleheads are basically just adherents to a popular passive investing philosophy. I agree completely with it, but it was hilarious to me how dogmatic - borderline religious - they were about “timing the market” with zero nuance or recognition that it’s just not that serious.

    On a video of an ICE agent, jumping out of his civilian vehicle and pointing an automatic weapon At some people, I simply suggested that it would be hilarious if someone jumped in his car and drove it away. He left the driver door wide open, and I seriously doubt he took his keys with him. I just thought it would be funny to see him react to that. It wasn’t a permaban, but it was enough to get me to jump ship.

    I got banned for “attempting to circumvent a ban” despite not being banned at the time.

    I got banned from a bunch of subreddits by making one comment in Asmingold…and it was a comment against. Then got sent this pm saying if you delete your comment and apologize we will reconsider you. I told em to fuck off I’ll speak how I like. Censorship is censorship. Wasn’t long before I deleted all my posts and comments on by one manually and killed off my 14 year old account.

      I asked why the CIA hadn’t killed Trump yet. That, and upvoting a comment of a user who later got banned, got me banned.

        I was added to a moderation list on Bluesky for following someone on Twitter and subsequently muting them, and then forgetting I had followed them when I used a tool to migrate all of my follows to Bluesky. Which is just a stupid mistake, but what about people who are following notable bigots because they’re journalists and have to keep tabs on what they say?

        Being banned for upvoting someone’s comment seems similarly tunnel-visioned. If you’re upvoting their pun about the moon or their helpful cooking suggestion or their computer build tip, getting banned because you didn’t check their entire post history before upvoting is absolutely insane to me.

        Guilt by association is only a thing if it’s actually association.
