Ok, I no longer regret incentivizing violence, as this mod is downright incentivizing something alright.

This is reddit mods in a nutshell

Similar story to how I ended up IP banned.

Story about a politician advocating for killings and kangaroo court imprisonments> i make a comment saying "yeah this guy is gonna end up dead if he tries this" > banned for threats of violence. .. appeal, arguing that it wasn't a threat. Just an acknowledgment of political volatility.. suggested mods were politically biased for seeing it that way. > appeal rejected and permabanned

edit - I understand reddit mods dont issue IP bans, but I was hit for ban evasion after abandoning a cooked account that they refused to let me appeal. the ban evasion rule is a "gotcha" to make people , any and all . to go away. I only say that this time it was an IP ban because I had been perma'd before, only to immediately move to a new account I already had made (and on the same device no less).

my guess was algorithms improved /s

Banned for similar reason. Mod misinterpreted my wording and IP banned for inciting violence. 100 characters max in your appeal so impossible to explain yourself.

Does anyone actually have a foolproof way of dodging an IP ban? I miss participating in my city's local sub.

I actually have a bit of a conspiracy that reddit flags accounts who don't make them money (don't buy coins, doesn't use app, uses Firefox, etc) and specifically watches them for TOS violations.

Yeah, Reddit moderation is... Fucky wucky. But this is also a general problem in American society. It's perfectly okay to kill people for profit, but if you break a window you're the bad guy doing a violence. (It may be present in others as well, I just don't know)

Looks like a photoshop, not a real sticker. Not a lot of pixels, but it doesn’t curve right, reflect or warp with the window. Squared up with tbe image orientation, not the window or defroster lines like a human would apply a sticker.

Everyone grabbing pitchforks all the same.

Just because it's a render doesn't mean it's fake. It's probably a preview used at a decal store and it was grabbed from there. Here's an example. I'm only linking to prove what I'm saying. I don't want anyone to actually buy one.

That's not the point. The OP straight up advocates maiming or killing people in a known Terrorist TTP. But the guy who talks about a window gets banned.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (5 children)

Yeah. I get the point.

My point is that it’s fake and made up to incite strong emotions.

You’re being trolled. Effectively. This is straight up ragebait. This should be thrown in the trash and mocked for what it is.

Fucking Reddit mods. I got perma banned for saying I wished that MTG would trip and swallow her own head.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 15 points 4 months ago (2 children)

She'd have to pull it out of her ass first.

if I saw this I would let the air out of the tires of the vehicle

Double standards

Edit: my mistake, it's not visible on the screenshot, but the "i hope you get shot" didn't get removed for promoting violence, there is no mod reply to it.

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

Condoning violence against things while condemning violence against people is really not such a big contradiction, especially when said thing is used to hurt people.

Edit: Then again, a guy wanting other people to get shot probably doesn't argue in good faith anyway.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

that's the entire conservative thought process. always protect things over people. kill a homeless person? you're a hero. use counterfeit 20 dollar bill? get strangled to death. rape? be our president. trespassing? get shot to death.

Lots of reddit communities are fascist communities

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 19 points 4 months ago

They're a more marketable demographic.
