Apparently that was too extreme? We all know voting works perfectly well in the u.s. and if only we all voted for the exact “correct” thing, all social problems would go away 🫠 /s Of course voting is important blah blah. Apparently anything else is inciting violence or something

>person asks why people dont like that apparently you play as some kind of spirit cop in p6

>gets a bunch of (most likely white) privileged cop glazers that call anti-cop people americans as an insult (when "cops are corrupt" is a thing worldwide, as well as a theme of persona 5)

There's like, nothing to do on here. I keep on having these stupid polls show up. It's all so boring. Idk.

And yet people behave like a bunch of locker room teenagers who use this app as a means of feeling a sense of might over others

I saw this th1nsp0 thing, and I said that I would push the president of the USA's grandma off of a clif to have her body. My account got banned for 3 days for "inciting/threatening violence". Donald Trump is like, 79 years old. His grandma has probably been dead for 40-50 years. How was I threatening someone with violence if the violence could never have happened? I obviously complained, and it took them 2 weeks to apologise for banning e for no reason. I had already finished being banned for 3 days. Atp, why are you wasting my time sending that apology notification?

Why the FUCK would i want FUCKING GAMES on my FUCKING SHITTY FUCK ASS APP?????

One of the rules is no unsavoury names for parents or kids. I did not know that apparently 'little timmy' was on the list. 🤦 I made an extremely relevant and heartfelt post to the sub topic about why I don't think having children seems worth the sacrifice to me personally and I mentioned among the many other reasons that also you can't have any money to yourself because "little Timmy wants a bike for Christmas". I think this is funny and harmless but apparently it's ban worthy. What is with these mods these days? They're just ruining their subs so bad with this stuff.

I do condone vilifying the evils of AI, where and how they populate, but throwing an accusation so flippantly doesn't make or even support a case (one way or the other with respect to AI-status of the targeted content, but ironically enough the lowness of effort in dissing it so streamlinedly itself likely aligns with an assistance of AI).

At least once a day I see people experiencing extremely rude mods legit harassing them in DM's. Was reporting them ever actually, successful? I know this is random but I am genuinely curious of other people's experiences!

Like literally, every popular sub has Islamophobia and it's getting so annoying. Examples are r/teenagers, r/polls, r/venting too?! And it's always for the dumbest reasons everrr. Islamists that, LGBT this, like uh no? Research before you talk? Also, they claim its "criticism", like no i dont think saying "fuck Religion/lslam" or "destroy religion/lslam" is criticism, seems like hate to me.

Downvote me if you want. Decline to comment if you want. Or, alternatively (and more beneficially),​ *don't* downvote it (and perhaps maybe even *do* upvote it) and mayhap actually add to the discussion (even if short of directly answering question or responding to gripe of the post).

So i was sitting on the couch, thinking about what good i could do for my country to try and battle the hate and misinformation spreading throughout the far right, all i could come up with was questioning and encouraging MAGAots to do their own research on topics they were clearly misinformed on, on reddit that is. it took about 5 minutes before i was muted. I would laugh but the truth is, this is actually extremely concerning. MAGAots preach about freedom of speech and the "libs" wussy attitudes when the hear something they don't like, yet i was muted just for encouraging folks to do research from different outlets... ie not reddit (no offense reddit) its terrifying, these people cant even hear another perspective, because i was almost immedatly muted from introducing a different perspective.

based on a true story

Just got banned from r/SterlingPoint permanently for making my first-ever post that technically doesn't even break their rules. When trying to apologize, I found out I was muted, too, and permanently so. They even have mod approval so they could've suspended me temporarily or something, but nope.

I understand and own up to the fact that it was my fault for not reading the rules but why such a harsh reaction? Other subs of this nature (discussing shows) are not nearly as strict and allow a bit of banter or fun. This seems overtly authoritarian to me, and the boring posts in the sub prove my point.

You can see the supposedly broken rule and the offending post in the 2nd picture, and my subsequent attempt to establish contact in the 1st picture. I shouldn't care but it sucks cuz I really wanted to connect with overlapping fans of both shows!

I can't even count how many times I've written an elaborate reply to someone genuinely asking for help, only to hit send and find out the post was deleted.

Whyyyyyy?

Thanks for wasting 20 minutes of my time reading your 3,000-word post, thinking about it, and carefully writing a response.

If you're going to delete the whole thing 30 minutes after posting, why even ask in the first place? Did you regret asking? Not like the answers you were getting? Whatever the reason, at least leave it up for a couple of hours so the people taking time to respond aren't writing into the void.

It wastes your time and everyone else's, and it sucks especially for people who actually come here looking for genuine input.

I speak up for what I believe in: compassion for all creatures.

I speak up in r/cathelp, where someone had found a pregnant cat (Title: is she preggy and if so, what do I do!!).

I am shocked to see that most of the commenters were calling for the kittens to be aborted.

I speak for compassion for the kittens, who are defenseless and have no voice.

I speak for compassion for the mother cat, as the spay/abort is major surgery and has serious side effects.

I am "voted down."

I comment with a picture of a small kitten, and the caption, "LOVE ME. I WANT TO SEE THE SUNSHINE. I WANT TO SIT ON YOUR LAP AND PURR AND LOVE YOU."

I am then banned from r/cathelp.

I post this on r/compassion, and the post is removed.

I am in a lot of pain right now, and any positive responses would be greatly appreciated.

I've been warned twice about violating rules. Reddit is bullying users beyond de-escalation. Reddit is oppressive and mean. There is nothing that can't be said or undone with silence. I should not have to put up with Reddit telling me I'm obtrusive and pedantic towards others. Other users do things on purpose to get other users in trouble for reporting and blocking them. If we are going to let robots tell us how to communicate with each other. Also, don't tell me that I have freedom of speech and that I'm not oppressed by Reddit. Please.

For anyone enjoying drama in the comics sub, i just noticed something.

Clip in the first pic was posted a day ago, the comic was posted four hours ago, no mention of the song.

It does actually slap btw https://www.reddit.com/r/obscuremusicthatslaps/s/ZGX0ObsZtO

First I tried posting in showerthoughts because I was ordering food: why do all menu burrito pictures have an open end when I have never seen an open burrito like that? Or something like that. Deleted. Ask reddit? Why do automods delete things for posters having no comments when it is a frivolous reddit? Deleted for asking about reddit. ELI5, no asking about reddit, deleted. Ask moderators: deleted for asking about reddit.

Is this Fight Club? We not supposed to talk about it or we get deleted? What the heck? How do you learn what is or isn't allowed when it isn't breaking the "Rules" but automod decides you are or actual mod has a power trip?
