I finally got the kick I need to go 100% in on Lemmy. I don’t know why I am surprised. At one point they said shadow banning was only ever supposed to be used against bots, but reddit doesn’t care anymore.

    I got permabanned for saying that Donald Trump is incapable of testifying in court without incriminating himself.

        I used the phrase ‘give him enough rope to hang himself’. apparently this is advocating violence, or something, or some trumpy mod got his feelies hurt.

          Oh, I see. Reddit is real touchy about calls to violence, and many subs have really dumb bots that trigger on key phrases. “Hang himself” probably did it.

            Yeah but that’s a standard phrase that has nothing to do with violence, and that’s been around forever.

            It has the same meaning as someone who paints themselves into a corner.
