  some actual recourse when you get banned?

  I’m banned from reddit from suggesting that Peter Thiels assets should be liquidated, the man turned to soup.

  The most banal of opinions is now automatically being banned.

    I got 1 bann for saying “the organisation system of the german trains needs to be burned down and rebuild a new on a clean slate” obviousely this is figure of speech. They saw it as call for terrorism.

    And then another ban for saying “Sprich deutsch du hurensohn” which is/was an inside joke in ich-iel and only done there.

    Ah, the Rule 1 violation. Mainly because they just pick the first thing as an excuse to ban.

    I got a violation, a second one I think, a 3 day ban, at which point I abandon accounts and never log in again, 1 year back, for suggesting Musk be aboard one of his spaceships. That’s it. I guess in the context of them blowing up all the time it’s a call for violence, which is how they labelled it. I quit for a couple of months before starting another account, between them right now too, went through like 4 last year, while I took at least 4 months off.

      I’m trying to ween myself off reddit.

        I haven’t been on in a month now. But it’s weird, I had cleared cookies dozens of times, looking for links to streaming a show, as search engines are enshitified and no longer provide them, I found a reddit page a couple of times, it looked like I was logged in somehow, anyway a third time I came back to one of their pages, not having logged in, and set up so I had to type my username to log in, its not automatic, I checked and somehow I was logged in.

        For a month? How did that happen? I closed and cleared cookies and checked back and it didn’t log me in automatically.

        How could that possibly have happened? Is it hacked? Was it logged in for a month, despite clearing the cookies like every day?

  What is there to breach? You’re already exposing your your real identity when you post under your real name with this new requirement. As long as the methods for verifying your identity aren’t something scammers can exploit there is nothing to expose. If, for example, you could use your photo ID with everything but your pic and name covered, and maybe also birth year for age checks, all it does is remove the ability for people to be cunts with impunity.

  I’d have to give it some more thought, but I’m not against this right away. The Internet has become a vile place. Maybe if you wouldn’t say something in public for everyone to hear, you shouldn’t post it either.

    Facebook tried the whole real name thing, and it did not do much to stop people from being cunts with impunity. We have been over this.

    Never mind that you also have to account for people who would rather not be under their legal name for a variety of reasons, ranging from being victims of stalking and abuse, to artistic reasons, to simply preferring another name than the one their parents chose for them.

    all it does is remove the ability for people to be cunts with impunity. Try getting around a Reddit ban. There is no need for official IDs. The only ones who benefit from this are governments trying to root our dissent.

  As if, this is probably all about Israel somehow. One wonders if there is a german equivalent of Epstein.

    At this point, I’m convinced anyone higher than a HOA president is in those files. For Epstein, all those people were his Pokémon.

  You’re going to be slapped a fine you can’t appeal if you’re posting an opinion outside the Party’s overton window. They need your ID so it’s less work that way.
