In the subreddits that have anything to do with politics and/or lambasting right-wingers, any comment or post with even the mildest language criticizing a certain controversial personality now gets a fucking instaban. They don’t care how you defend yourself, a spade is a spade to them.
Otherwise some mods do tend to be on a powertrip.
Stuff like medical record portals, financial websites for my companies retirement plan. Stuff I have little choice about. And most fail silently.
I recall how South Korea literally painted itself into a corner for becoming too dependent on Internet Explorer after years of using it with a security implementation based entirely on ActiveX.
I’m currently using a user-agent switcher plugin. Allows me to spoof servers into believing I’m running a different browser.
Reddit wants to provide a service that people can use for free,
lol. Yeah, free but with conditions, as at the end of the day, it’s a privately-owned space and they’ll kick anyone out for using “violent language”.
You can’t – only way is to avoid all politically-charged subreddits. They’ll ban anyone using even remotely violent words to describe US current events, especially in large subs where US politics and news are discussed. You can’t even create a new account and use it immediately after a ban.
It’s really a chilling effect over there. I betcha they’re now using something new to supplant human moderators, and reactionaries are prowling the subs to flag anyone desecrating their idols.
The only thing that EU has yet to stiff-arm on.
