I got banned from Reddit for calling my dog a mini Australian Shepherd in the subreddit /r/dogs which is the informal name for these dogs. they banned me because they said by calling it that instead of it's proper name American Shepherd, I supported backyard breeders. I couldn't believe it. I've been going there since it started in the 2000s? I basically only go to X/twitter now because Facebook and Instagram and tiktok are just pure slop.

Americans going on a power trip because you didn't name it based on America? How timely.

>I basically only go to X/twitter now because Facebook and Instagram and tiktok are just pure slop Hate to be the one breaking this to you but Xitter is filled to the brim with slop. Try open source alternatives.

  It largely depends on who you follow. I also have a local chrome extension I made that automatically removes political tweets from my timeline, that + following people who talk about very specific things is enough to make my experience there largely positive.

I got banned from /r/toronto for saying that a guy with a sign (that someone else posted) was not really breaking any laws, IIRC it was something like "too much immigration" or whatever. Banned for 6 months for "hate speech", wtf. What I did was simple, removed all my comments, removed all my submissions, deleted my account and haven't been back there nor do I plan to.

  I used to go there for product recommendations but now every sub is astroturfed with affiliate links so I have no use for it anymore either.

I got permanently banned from my countries‘ subreddit with 5 million subscribers for outing myself as a moderate conservative voter. Over 60% of Germans vote conservative by the way.
