          r/conservative is just a rebrand and refugee camp of r/thedonald , mildly adjusted to accept the new wave “conservatives” across the world, like Supporters of Fidesz (Hungary, Orban), RN (LePen, France), Canadian Maple MAGA, the Russian Mafia State and their blood drunk Nazi Z-Tards, and all of those Joe Rogan / Jordan Peterson / Ben Shapiro types.

          Actual Conservatism is dead. its just Nazis and Fascists who hijacked the term for better brand imaging.

      Not op but I got perma banned for fighting with people who were defending massive pedophile Dr disrespect. They were arguing that “it was legal that means it’s okay”. I pointed out that the US is fucked and certain states have consent laws at 16. Legally he could fuck a 16 year old. However that doesn’t change the fact that he’s a pedophile scumbag regardless of legality.

      I was then banned for “child sexual content” :)

        Yeah, that’s actually the average age worldwide

        Not defending Dr Diddles, mind you, but the US is actually better than a lot of places thanks to having parts where it’s 17 or 18 (and… Worse, depending on where you look)

          This is like the defining case of “just because it’s legal doesn’t make it okay.” An 18 year old and a 16 year old is one thing. It’s very different when it’s a 30-something year old and a 16 year old. That’s like a high school senior trying to get with a 12 year old.

          There’s a massive power imbalance in a relationship like that where the 30-something has basically total control. Even a 30-something with a college kid has issues imo, let alone a kid who’s a sophomore or junior in high school. That’s some Quamire from Family Guy shit. “I love high school girls. I get older, they stay the same age.”

          Half your age plus seven is the rule of thumb that I’ve heard. At 18, that means the lowest you should be dating is 16. At 32, it’s 23. Etc.

          Also, echo chambers are good, actually, and you can’t change my mind. Life isn’t supposed to be a constant argument, and the criticism of surrounding yourself with people who generally agree with you is a tactic that’s been used to prevent people from simply cutting toxicity out on social media platforms.

            Plus there are some things unworthy of argument. The existence of trans people, not an argument. Fucking a 16 year old as a grown adult is fucked up, not an argument. Holders of these anti-truths are just bad people covering their own failings

            Not enough pedophiles here 😔

            It’s just your POV. I’d say that pedophile refers to children, and I don’t consider a 16yo person to be a child. Some can be mature enough, although it might be rare and should be handled case by case, instead of making a stupid generalization.

                Sure. You know better than everyone. Congrats. Doesn’t have to be a “her” btw…

                Funny that I got called a pedophile as well when I was a minor. Fun times. Being with someone way older isn’t always bound to end badly, provided the adult isn’t a bad person (which isn’t easy in the world we live in) and that both understand the risks and adopt the right posture.

                I also know other people who have been in a similar situation. Sometimes it went okay, sometimes not.

    Hello everyone. You’re not alone. I got banned like for 4-5 times, using local Ukrainian words that may look like slurs, but they aren’t.

    I got unbanned, but I am still too scared to write anything about politics on Reddit. I want a working account there for IT questions.

        they will detect your alternate account through fingerprinting you

        it’s where I am currently, unable to use any of my 100% wholesome and positively contributing accounts because I shared the opinion of “Oh no, anyways” on a burning Tesla dealership post, got banned from world news with no explanation, asked for elaboration and did not receive it, and then continued to post in that sub with another account.

        did I ban evade? yes. did I first attempt to find out why I was banned? yes. was I ignored and thus continued to participate with other accounts, being careful to say nothing even close to provocative with those accounts? yes.

        didn’t matter. they identified it as the same account, they banned it.

          I’ve been treated the same way, lost about 7 accounts each over 12 years old because some mod didn’t like me telling off an incel and from there sent it to admins and from there it’s been repeated bans and shadowbans.

          I am done with reddit, I’ve seen behind the curtain in my time there, I know how bad it really is. The whole platform is now an AI training-bed and in some communities more than half the users appear to be bots. Very clever, very well-disguised, but you can tell if you check their history. They want to be able to control large-scale narratives and it’s working.

          But if anyone wants to try to keep fighting the bot army, you can create a new account by deleting all your reddit cookies and browsing history, resetting your modem for a minute, then making a new account with a new email. (Use Gmail or another name-brand on, they now shadowban accounts made from disposable emails.)

          Also, do not use a VPN ever. Instant permanent shadowban, and you have to start all over.

          From there you just need to establish some karma history so you can post. Memes and other content-grind subreddits let even new accounts last I checked.

          If you don’t want your account banned immediately, do not make political opinions, do not argue with anyone, do not sass reddit even through they deserve far worse. Don’t reply to yourself or your alt accounts, they can now tell immediately. Do not report anyone, they now will use reporting as an excuse to ban you if they decide they don’t like you.

            I just found out about this too, but on Samsung phones you can install an app on the “secure folder” and that’s basically another device ID so even if you install the app there it doesn’t ban you.

            Recently changed my phone, and while my new phone is completely reddit free, I tried this “secure folder” thing on my old phone(installed the official app via apk but patched to remove ads) that already was banned with a completely new account and so far it’s working well, I’ve left a few comments and such and haven’t been shadowbanned.

            Now I’ll probably won’t post or do much on it anyways, I’m committing to use it less and less, but I can’t really confidently say that Lemmy fills out all communities as Reddit does

              That’s good to know, if I ever really, really need to throw shade at some comment I see on Reddit i’ll give that a shot… but honestly, I’m also mostly clean and free from “using” and probably will avoid it so I don’t backslide into that fetid mess. I find I don’t miss it that much anymore and have become a LOT more productive without having those comment sections to scroll every day and every lunch break.

                Yeah me too. Honestly I like knowing that I CAN use it if needed, specially if there’s an obscure IT question I might need help with. But having it on a whole other phone let’s me not want to use it because it would mean having a whole other device to take care of battery and ughh you lost me there , so that’s my compromise, I keep it on my desk turned off until needed

        I mean back when duolingo has discussions or what they called it, you might write nasty stuff. But now, imagine being banned for the wrong translation.

        I haven’t used duolingo for a few weeks because my hack to have infinite hearts broke again and I’m too lazy to put in the effort even tho it’s not that difficult actually

          I’m gonna be real, Duolingo is literally only good for motivation and easy vocab review. It has been years since I used it, but the best advice I got on that website was when forums still existed and people told me that the translations for JP were shit and to learn somewhere else, which is probs why those forums got deleted.

          If you have to use hacks to not be bored/deal with the bullshit, then just leave man. It’s not worth the bird begging you to come back. Find stuff online, YT (unfortunately) is your friend for resources.

    We were there. We put in thousands of hours of work. Years of moderating. Free work. Content creators. People who commented. Voted. All that karma …

    All gone cause you upvoted an anti trump or musk post. Or maybe you upvoted a photo of a tessler burning.

    Maybe you didn’t think Luigi should get the death penalty.

    Don’t worry brother. Upvote what you want. Be free with the rest of us.
