Reddit has a lot of established local community subreddits, and when you are that established, its hard to give up.
Disclaimer: I was just banned on a second account after being found out for my first ban (I said some things with, well, lets say "high praxis") and I am not happy about it.
I was banned for prohibited content on my “other accounts.”
I only have one account. (Appeal was denied, and I suspect the entire operation was done by bots. It literally said, “go look at your other accounts to see what you did wrong.”)
Meanwhile, another user over there is advocating violence against a very well known public figure (I'm sure you can guess what and who), and the comment is still up and the poster is not banned. -throws up hands-
I'm guessing this public figure is someone with...questionable involvement in current affairs, or is not aligned with Conservative interests?
Yep checks out.
He sits in a big gold office in a big white house.
