I just got a ban for "encouraging violence". Someone asked "what will you do to celebrate when he dies?" Someone else started talking about how they have a fantasy about getting the death note and how they'd put that to use. I chimed in with my silly fantasy of using a seance to end politicians' careers by getting them possessed by the ghost of GG Allin, and enjoying the mayhem that would ensue.

So, anyway, right after that, I found out that all the people who were so transgressive to have actually liked that comment of mine can, as of a couple days ago, expect punishment as well. How draconian.

And so that was that. No sense in being lorded over on the internet by the same people who run HOAs. It'll be fun watching Reddit flush itself down the toilet from over here, I expect.

We already saw one Reddit exodus on Tumblr, but a lot of us held on to dual citizenship. I'm testing the waters here for my non-Tumblr posting, and other than hating the default color scheme, it really doesn't seem like a big adjustment.

The joke I made to the other tumblrinas was that the reddit exodus was like relocating wolves from captivity into the wild. Like, yeah, they're gonna have to adjust, but it's better for them in the long run, and encourages a more robust and diverse ecosystem.

The Twitter exodus was like releasing 10,000 pugs into Yellowstone.
