LOL, I was just permantly banned from /r/metalmemes for referring to transphobes as "cunts". - eviltoast

Doesn’t seem very metal to me, being a long time metal head.

    Mine was for saying that I want Donald Trump to lose all his cases in the courts, and I can’t be assed to care about whether he lives long enough to serve the sentences he receives, as that’s not the point. This was in response to someone else saying taking him through the court system is pointless, because he won’t live long enough to pay for those crimes.

    They cited a rule against inviting violence and showing an aggressive apathy for human life, and gave me a permenant ban.

    I can certainly see the backwards, twisted logic used to justify the argument, if you’re willing to completely disregard the context and clearly defined goal of the statement. Even if your head is up your ass about the rule as written and see my statement as far more aggressive than I tried to portray it, you’d think a decent mod would respond to a polite appeal with “your comment is deleted, think about the way you word yourself in the future”, and the ban being revoked. But I suspect there’s something else going on there, so I decided it’s really no loss anyway.

      The censorship on /r/politics is insane.

      After witnessing it firsthand, I can’t go there anymore because of how secretly-curated it is.

      I’m super glad lemmy has a public modlog so I can see everything for myself, even if it was taken down.
