Why I got temporarily banned from, and why I’m not going back to Reddit.
Someone made a post with a picture of a blonde haired blue eyed child. The title was “Would you slap this child for 88 million dollars?”
I said “Slap!?!?? I would eat that child’s still beating heart for 88 million dollars.”
Next day I log in to find out I had been temp banned for 7 days for sexualization/abuse of a minor.
I uninstalled Reddit. That was 11 days ago and I haven’t been back. Context is important. Obviously, no one is going to offer me 88 million dollars to eat a child’s heart. Not to mention, do you really want to make deals with people that can offer that to you? I mean, I wouldn’t.
All this has led me to realize. I don’t want to be part of a community with no sense of humor.
I would post a link but not only was my comment deleted. The thread was too I think.
There's a whole new group of reddit users who only know it via the official mobile app. Gone are the days when people were playing spot the mobile user, it's quickly becoming "Spot the old reddit user".
I only browsed Reddit from my phone. I have a nice computer, but she’s for gaming. I mean obviously she can do more, but I have a keyboard where I only connect the wasd side. If I want to use Reddit I have to connect the other side of the keyboard.
Of course. But, I can’t view nsfw content until I log in. Using the app is just way more convenient. Also, my VPN makes the homepage be in a language I don’t understand until I log in. It’s just a hassle.
If I was going to do that, I’d just reinstall the app.
