I'm am saying my past 14 years on reddit do not confirm your statement.
Sure if you go to r/conservative and say something blue, you get insta-banned, because they do indeed hate free speech there, but this type of situation is the vast majority of "innocuous remarks getting somebody banned" : not understanding the subreddit.
> Never getting banned isn't a badge of honor
I'm not sure why you keep bringing this up, because nobody said it was, a straw man.
- mcpackieh 3y agoIf you go to a red subreddit and say something blue, it isn't surprising that you'll be banned from the red subreddit. But you're also likely to be banned from the blue subreddits as well, and even gray subreddits that have no overt political affiliation, simply because you associated with the red. Despite not being a radical, you can catch bans simply for arguing with radicals. This is what I mean when I say that regular people frequently catch capricious bans on reddit. > I'm not sure why you keep bringing this up, because nobody said it was I bring this up because I am responding to your attempt to shame Aleklart, with the implication that he did something worthy of getting himself banned: > Your post really comes off as if you are sore about being banned from some sub. Suppose he did get banned, does that imply he did something to deserve getting banned? No. Because reddit bans are frequently capricious. And if he was banned for no good reason, is it shameful that he was banned? No. And if you never get banned for capricious reasons, is that meritorious? Also, no. Quite the contrary in fact.
