Well now this is trashy. I got permabanned from r/interstingasfuck for posting a comment in r/MensRights that was an attempt to correct some misinformation. I’ve never made a post in either subreddit and that was the only comment I’ve ever made in the MensRights subreddit. But r/interstingasfuck’s bot decided to permaban me even though I’ve not broken any rules.
The single comment I’ve ever made on r/MensRights
Man Reddit is trash.
People are now being perma banned from r/pics of all places for merely posting on the Asmongold subreddit. Yes, it’s become something of an anti-woke echo chamber in recent months, but it’s the main subreddit of Twitch’s most popular streamer.
And now we wondered why 74.7 million Americans voted for Donald Trump last week. Because maybe telling your voters that they’re Nazi scum if they don’t agree with you isn’t a winning strategy, like the world view that most Reddit moderators have.
I’ve noticed that a lot of people online are becoming very unhinged. They are looking for fights, placing people on their enemies list if they have the wrong opinion, and just stay online arguing for hours. I don’t know if these are real people, bots from nation states, people arguing with bots, or bots arguing with bots.
Yes to all the above, and probably a mix of bots and terminally online people getting involved. Not sure what year everyone started becoming unhinged but I think it was at least mid-2010’s.
