This. That's why it's here. The other stuff is the "why it sucks/additional info"

Reddit banned me for some political commentary in their BS way, and it looks like it's going to stick this time. Hello, I am u/TheStaffmaster and have been a contributing member of r/minecraft and r/hermitcraft for YEARS. In fact almost all of my karma came from r/minecraft! Not being able to post there is going to sting, but hopefully I'll at least be able to show off my builds.

The worst is r/AskReddit for bots. And the worst part of that is that those questions are ridiculously tempting low hanging fruit for people to "self ban." The one that got me was "how do you think the trump administration will end." The amount of [Removed by Reddit] tags was telling, I must say. I've been trying to get to talk with an actual person, but we all know how that goes. ๐Ÿ˜’

Remember when the 1900's were called the "20th century?" Pepperridge farm remembers.

Hyper capitalism of the 1980's would be considered quant, by today's standards

Yeah, not surprised, but it was a last straw kind of thing. That post would have passed muster once upon a time, but the AI mods are not compatible with political posting. Of ANY stripe. I'm just pissed I can't post in my frequented communities anymore. This place doesn't have a community for Minecraft looks like, nor would I expect the types of people who post there to make a switch, let alone get Mojangs' endorsement. I took this opportunity to setup a Substack (not much better, but at least the mods wont butt in unless I get extra spicy, or so they claim), and get on board with BlueSky... I swore off imgur a few years back because the toxic woke got to infuriating- AND I'M A LEFTIST, I suppose I can quit reddit too. SMDH.

r/AskReddit had a thread that asked how people thought the trump administration would end. I have never seen so many [Post removed by Reddit] notifications. I complained that not being able to threaten violence against these TEMU Nazis was just enabling them. Yeah...

I appealed, because, Show me where exactly I actually made a"credible threat of violence" BRUH. I was just complaining that I couldn't, not saying I was going to. FFS. (I EVEN POINTED OUT THIS DISTINCTION IN THE POST!!) 12+ fucking years. Over 53K in comment karma. Poof.

So I did research to find alts for Ye olde Reddits and this place seemed to be the most recommended. So here I am! The real pisser is that I mostly used reddit to interact with the minecraft/hermitcraft fandoms, and was a member in (VERY) good standing in those communities. Reddit is going to hell in a handbasket and it's infuriating to watch. It used to be so lovely to post there, but this over reliance on AI moderation is going to be the death of it. Especially on the more political side of it.

Anyway, I hope this place works out better.
