I just got a ban for “encouraging violence”. Someone asked “what will you do to celebrate when he dies?” Someone else started talking about how they have a fantasy about getting the death note and how they’d put that to use. I chimed in with my silly fantasy of using a seance to end politicians’ careers by getting them possessed by the ghost of GG Allin, and enjoying the mayhem that would ensue.

So, anyway, right after that, I found out that all the people who were so transgressive to have actually liked that comment of mine can, as of a couple days ago, expect punishment as well. How draconian.

And so that was that. No sense in being lorded over on the internet by the same people who run HOAs. It’ll be fun watching Reddit flush itself down the toilet from over here, I expect.

    I switched over and am permanently deleting my accounts. Be sure to do that, and don’t just stop using it. They’ll really only start to feel it when a bunch of 10+ year accounts start deleting, since they can’t waive it away as “consumer fickleness” that will swing back around

      I did that when I moved to Lemmy last year. The more recent account I just deleted was mostly comments “inciting violence” and encouraging people to move to Lemmy, so they are welcome to keep those.

      Don’t just delete accounts, delete all your posts first. There’s multiple 3rd party tools to do it since Reddit only lets you do 1 at a time manually
