    Commenting that Nazis should get punched abstractly (i.e. not a specific Nazi) got me site permabanned from Reddit. They have chosen a side.

      I got perma IP banned after commenting on a post about how nazis want X minority eradicated: “Well, maybe nazis should be eradicated”

      Did I take it too far? Perhaps. Do I regret it? Not in the slightest

      I mean you probably know that, but I’m pretty sure threatening violence against any group, no matter what group, violates their rules. Making exceptions would just increase their workload.

      Same here, said I think punching Nazis is always a good idea like grandpa taught me, banned.

      Still think it’s a good idea for the record.

      Reddit banned me once for saying someone should take out Putin. Putin. So should we not want one of the most genocidal dictators we’ve had in some time gone? Ok.

      I only got shadow-banned for my anti-nazi content, but one of my posts was removed by reddit themselves

        They don’t remove your posts when they ban you, they want to keep the content that you made for them.

      Remember that video of Ron perlman saying that a studio executive might lose their house for what they said? I commented something to the effect of ’ if Hellboy said it’s time to start burning down houses I would show up’

      Permaban.
