    I register on reddit 17 years ago. Before the great migration from digg. I remember /r/programming being the first sub to reach 100k subscribers.

    I got banned for saying in the /r/europe sub that russia banning youtube in russia was a good thing because then we in the west would get less russian propaganda. Got banned for a couple days. Left and never looked back.

    /r/programming is dead already since around a decade. All the good discussions moved to hackernews and lobsters.

    EDIT: never forget that spez admitted to silently edit user comments that criticized him

    Does saying “The only good fascist are very dead fascist” counts? What if I add that USA is a fascist country now? Will saying Donald is a pedophile still counts (I got banned for it already lol)? What about saying my favorite sport is nazi punching? And if I add that there’s no such thing as “roman salute”?

    Is Reddit about to drop a new t-shirt line “Protect fascist’s feeling” or something?

    Lol, how is it even possible to upvote banned content? I mean, is it not deleted if banned?

    Reddit going full mask-off 1984 huh? Next thing it’ll be illegal to downvote things Reddit likes to push… Or why even bother with the votes anyway, Reddit will just show you only the things that it deems good for you, like the benevolent Big Brother.

    Fuck that place.

    Also: welcome to all our new members! “We’re Not Perfect, But At Least We’re Not Reddit!” ™

    Same shit happens here and you know if. Anyone with any user count is heavily moderating violence.

    I got banned for responding to r/unpopularopinion something about prisons, and said people in prisons should work everyday 9-5, forced labour, no excuses etc. And someone responded that prisoners working would not be safe because other prisoners could easily attack other prisoners and harm them. And i was like yeah so if anyone attempts to do that, should be shot on sight. Basically warned before entering 9-5 work to be given instructions that attacking other inmates is wrong and you will be shot on sight if attacked other prisoner. So basically that was it. I got banned, because i wanted to make prisoners work like the rest of us, normal society who are not punished for prison time.

    Reminds me of back in 2013 when Reddit admins accidentally revealed that Eglin Air Force Base, a location often cited as the source of government social-media propaganda/astroturfing programs, was the most Reddit addicted city in the world.
