It's Reddit. It's a cesspool run by trash humans.

So yes, you can talk about guns and the 2nd amendment all you want when children are being murdered in school, but if fascists control the government, you gotta stop that, because you're now an "agitator".

Edit: Actually, to be fair, most Reddit users are good enough people to grasp that fascism has come to America and fascism is bad. So calling the site in general a cesspool isn't necessarily accurate. The shitstains are mostly bots and a small percentage of trash humans. The real issue are the trash humans running the site and dictating the rules that have driven us all to Lemmy.

Ok.

Figured others had experienced the same thing and wanted to chip in their experiences or, if they cared enough, could test it out on their own.

Either way, the comment was auto-deleted by Reddit so I'm just paraphrasing anyway.

I stated that everyone should exercise their 2A right and arm themselves. And if they are already experienced with firearms they should help others who are interested arm themselves and help them train. I also pointed out that, in this political climate, if they want to chat with friends/family about purchasing firearms, they may want to use an end-to-end encrypted messaging app.

That's it. That was the content of my comment. None of that is questionable. None of that breaks Reddit site wide rules. None of it is a call to violence. And, not that it matters on a privately owned platform, but all of that is supported by our Constitution.

Also, why did you say

Why do you keep saying this

This is the first post I've ever made about this. I've never even made a comment on Lemmy about this.

I only run Reddit in a private browsing window. When they permaban me I reset the browser and close it, open up a new private window, create a new Reddit account with a throwaway email and I'm back in and don't get permabanned again until I promote our Constitutional rights or tell a Trump supporter their mother shouldn't have carried to term and get reported for hurting their feelings.

So I'm assuming they catch account hoppers via cookies.

I even have a browser script that auto-adds all my subs back so I don't lose all my subs. There's some nuance to that though as if the script auto-adds too many subs too quickly, you'll get flagged and auto-banned. So I have to set the script to only add one sub every 5000ms and then leave that tab alone while it adds all my subs. I only care about the subs at all because Lemmy doesn't have all the really specific subs I find myself sometimes needing to post on for answers to specific shit.

plus knowing Maxwell is moderating on the network again

Fucking what??? Jesus Christ.

Just leave reddit already, it doesn't have anything of value.

It's the same thing as bitching about Facebook while still using it.

If you're using the Reddit app then they will ban every account with that app as soon as they log in

This is something I've been testing over the last 6 months.

Unless of course you’re doing a top job of disguising each new acct.

I am. That's why some of these accounts are months old before being banned within less than a minute of posting a pro 2A comment. It's an automated bot ban based on the content of my comment, which, like I said, contains no calls to violence or anything else that breaks Reddit's rules. My suspicion is that if your comment contains a few key words, that's all the bot is looking for. I don't believe those words need to be in sequence, just anywhere within your comment. So it could be looking for "arm yourself", "rights", or "train" anywhere in your comment.

If you've been on Reddit long enough, you know that whenever kids get their heads blown off, which is all the time, there's a sea of Reddit comments supporting the 2nd amendment and basically stating that the sacrifice is worth the right. No problems there.

But now.....all of a sudden....automated instabans on pro 2A comments.

It's become pretty obvious what's going on.

Fascists now hold power and they don't want people putting up resistance. Textbook exactly what Nazi germany did.

Reddit's co-founder and CEO is a guy named Steve Huffman (spez). There's been controversy regarding him for well over a decade as he's a right wing trashcan of a human. At one point he was caught editing comments that upset him.

We've watched a number of other corporations bend the knee and prostrate themselves for Trump's administration because they cower in the face of intimidation and/or benefit from the Trump administration's corruption. Reddit is now one of them. The same thing happened in Nazi Germany. Many companies chose to side with the Nazis out of fear or benefit.

Reddit is an EXTREMELY popular social media site and the only one so popular that is undeniably left leaning. That is a major threat to Trump's fascist regime. So Reddit is working overtime to appease their masters and suppress American free speech.
