I’ve confirmed this with multiple accounts now. If you promote the 2nd amendment, including training responsibly with others, your account will be autobanned within 60 seconds.

To be clear, my comments contained exactly zero calls to violence. They were simple comments stating every American has the right to arm themselves and that everyone should train responsibly, ideally with others who are more experienced.

I’ve had 4 or 5 accounts autobanned within a minute now. All immediately after posting pro 2nd amendment comments. These accounts were anywhere from 1 week to multiple months old. So they’re not brand new accounts that are being flagged for whatever reason.

Reddit is now complicit in the fascist takeover of our nation.

    My first account was 13 years old with 250k comment karma and was permabanned without warning for saying “It’s OK to punch a Nazi.”

    Yeah, focus your time on helping Lemmy grow.

      I got that much karma election year just sharing information everywhere. Really enjoyed that account was making friends and shit. What they do is they send bots or something once they notice you are popular to report all of your posts. So that gets you suspended and then you appeal. Takes 24 hours to get it looked at and approved… then they send the bots right back at you immediately to report your old posts. Over and over and over and over effectively banning you without banning you.

      That’s what they do to people that follow the rules.

      Fuck Reddit.

      Yeah see there you go. That’s a frame and put on the wall statement.

      Mine was for agreeing with a Muslim woman on the Fauxmoi sub that the reason the bloke who disarmed that Bondi shooter and didn’t kill him afterward was that he’s a peaceful Muslim. That was my thought when I saw it, most Muslims I’ve met are exceptionally peaceful people. I said ‘I thought the same…thanks for your insight.’

      That got a permaban. I appealed it and it failed. I’m not the only one I think, I’m certain there were a few others as well. So that’s inciting violence.

      My interpretation is that the narrative of Islam or Muslims possibly being peaceful in nature isn’t one they want put out there. It doesn’t surprise me, as I said Maxwell is back on the site so it’s not hard to work out what’s happening.

        I’ve noticed in the last year or so that more and more usernames on Reddit are the auto-generated ones you can opt to use when creating a new account. They all have the same general format. And it’s not like they’re all bots. For the most part they leave comments that are clearly not bot comments. My assumption is that so many people are being banned, so regularly, that when they come back with new profiles they’re just going with the auto-generated usernames because they know they’re just gonna get banned again, so why bother being creative?
