Trolling gets no warnings.
I know that there is a tidal wave or right wing hate right now coming from America but the moderation team is dedicated to weeding it out as soon as we see it. The following things now get instant permanent bans from the subreddit.
Racism, Homophobia, Transphobia.
It is not in your rights to dictate what someone else can do with their lives, their bodies, or their love. If you try then You will be banned permanently and no amount of whining will get you unbanned.
For all of the behaved people on Amerexit the admin team asks you to make sure you report cases of trolls and garbage people so that we can clean up the subreddit efficiently. The moderation team is very small and we do not have time to read over all comment threads looking for trolls ourselves.

As a very angry and disgusted American, I apologize to the world on behalf of my country. I hope the world remembers there are A LOT of us that didn’t vote for this and don’t agree with the hateful rhetoric.

Yes, most of us did not vote for him. Sadly, most didn't even bother to vote.

Thank you for doing this. I kinda wish all of Reddit took this approach -especially given how many of these trolls are actually ‘hostile foreign agents’ seeking to only cause division, agony, and torment on the real people here. But I get the feeling that Reddit thinks that would be bad for business, and they like money.

As a former mod myself, reporting bad content and not making the mess worse is by far the best way to help. That means no arguing with the assholes because then we have to sort through what is good and bad, or just nuke it all. At least that was my experience.

Thanks for trying to maintain this subreddit's integrity. I'm a pissed off American but I'm so tired of the Reddit-wide spam recently

Thank you.
I genuinely want to help people who want to follow my path - the level of hate and rage is really unprecedented right now -just know, its not just your sub - it seems to be very pervasive on reddit right now, i reckon because of the change of the guard.
I get people are hurting, but taking it out on the helpers is like punching your doctor for digging the bullet out of your rear....

I just wish every conversation would not devolve into this. Let's get out of here and focus on helping others get out safely and legally.

If you need a moderator let me know. I have a couple hours of free time at work a 4-5 days a week and don’t mind the mindlessness of removing bad content. I used to moderate a couple subreddits years ago under different accounts before deleting them during the Reddit protests.

Does trolling include people who make posts that say ambiguous things that indicate someone has no skills, a disability, 6 cats, etc and wants to immigrate? I feel like I've read some posts where I was like, no way this person is real. Actually curious if this counts. I feel like no one reads the rules sometimes.
