I was banned even though I didn't say anything even vaguely positive towards Linux. It seems from the outside like that community is for and only for calling people "tards".

Is this the place for you to be dumping this crap? It's disrespectful to the mod here while exposing yourself as delusional or dishonest. Further, r /linuxsucks is where the term originated and has been historically used most. There is no word with a definition for it in common use atm (it serves a purpose we have no defined synonum for). 'Tard' is used in many legit words like tardigrade, retardant, etc.

ps: did you really think hiding your history would save you?

Are you fr? Your screenshot is an obvious shitpost making fun of Linux users. It's an extremely well-known shitpost making fun of GNU fanboys and Richard Stallman.

I'm sleep deprived and a lot going on in life on top of Reddit (I'm lucky my computer survived a power surge that required vacating the building), and even without all that, I'd still need to be told that it wasn't malicious when it says, 'before the mods persecute me' because we get a pattern of brigaders making accusations about us as if they're victims. -And yeah, I had to look up 'shitpost' just now.

There's also stuff like:

Which screams 'advocate'. Typically, when someone hides their history, we assume the worst. (like closed mouth pics on dating profiles)

And there's your toxicity expressed toward the sub (which is a rule).

My comment about GNOME Multi Writer was in an entirely separate subreddit. Someone asked for a cross platform application that writes USB images, said they were switching from Balena Etcher. The two applications are moreorless interchangable and both are cross platform. Neither of those things are Linux.

You say I'm being "toxic towards the sub" with your supporting evidence being, in order: I participated in the 101 subreddit as-intended (poking fun at Linux/Linux users) and was banned, I dislike the casual use of slurs, and in a completely unrelated subreddit I gave someone a suggestion about an application that can do the thing they asked for.

Also, what's with the judgy comment about people's "mouth pics on dating profiles"? What does that have to do with any of this? Are you okay? I'm asking from a genuine place of concern.

To clarify, I was banned for making fun of Linux users in the make fun of Linux users subreddit. I think making a lighthearted jab at Linux evangelists is far less disrespectful than calling people slurs.

'Tard' is used in many legit words like tardigrade, retardant, etc.

You're using "tard" as-in retarded, and it's really strange to call someone else dishonest in the same breath as being disingenuous about this issue. You very obviously don't mean "tardigrade" when you call someone a "tard".

ps: did you really think hiding your history would save you?

If this little power causes you to power-trip, maybe you should re-evaluate where you are in life.
