All of my accounts got permabanned on Reddit for calling someone "A piece of fucking human garbage" for saying that only vulnerable and old people died from Covid and how Covid wasn't a big deal. I lost friends in their 20s to it.
Apparently what I said was inciting hatred and violence. But saying a deadly pandemic that killed millions "wasn't a big deal", and "Your friends were probably going to die anyway" is perfectly okay to Reddit Admins.
Sorry if you did end up reading the comment I deleted. I misread your comment and thought you were denying COVID. I’m over here flighting off the flu (even though I got flu shot) and not thinking clearly.
I once got a sub ban for speaking the truth about Lauren Bobert. Called her a “dumb cunt”, which is 100% true.
Permabanned from the sub.
All good. Thanks for the correction I appreciate it. Yeah I was defending people who died and buddy was saying that only vulnerable or old people were dying so it's "not a big deal".
I knew people who died who were healthy and young. The entire idea that anyone dying from a global pandemic is "not a big deal, they would die anyway" can eat the biggest bag of dicks.
Apparently reddit disagrees.
Yep! Reddit is a lost cause, unfortunately I’m seeing some of the same BS around here now that I’m more active
