There needs to be content-led websites where people can write comments that someone may find offensive. In England, people have the right to be offended, just because they are offended doesn’t instantly make it harassing as per Protection from Harassment Act 1997.
Comment on Are you using Lemmy / others to create noise in your life and to replace talking to people irl?
fittedsyllabi@lemmy.world 5 days agoSo there was a post where this woman was complaining about her landlady or head of the homeowner association or something in some apartment building. The lady was fined 50 bucks for trash outside her door. But it turns out it wasn’t trash but an Amazon package, and she was so frustrated and felt unfairly treated by the landlady. So my comment to her was: “Punch her.”
And boom! I was permanently banned from Reddit. Unbelievable.

Ah yes. “Inciting violence” is the worst possible thing you can say on reddit, regardless of context.

No, I really don’t think that was inciting violence. Do you really think she punched her? I must be really powerful then, eh?

That’s how the mods interpreted it when I made a similar joking reference to punching some nazis that got me permanently banned.
Prior to that, they also gave me a temporary ban for ‘misogyny’ when I described a woman physically assaulting a much larger man who, in self defence, shoved her away from him causing her to fall on her arse, as ‘a win for gender equality’. :)
