I’ve always wanted to talk about how weird it was scrolling through reddit and then suddenly seeing myself on the front page. I was banned from reddit for talking about politics (I am anti trump) on the air force reddit so I wasn’t even able to comment on a post about me.

For some backstory, I was returning from a Halloween cruise and it was the only clean shirt I had left (I was planning on wearing it during the cruise as there were no children allowed on the cruise and with the theme I thought it would get a few laughs or at least start a conversation). I never did though and doing laundry on a cruise was quite expensive (I think 50 dollars per load or something like that). I tried to hide the shirt as best I could throughout the day as I do think it was slightly inappropriate to wear in a public setting.

For the record, I love all the comments roasting me and I laughed all fucking day reading them!

Anyways, I have always wanted to publicly talk about this and in my search for reddit alternatives I found lemmy so here we are. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

    SPOILER: It’s the sleeping dude.

    Just kidding!! Welcome to Lemmy.

    Haven’t read all the comments here but I hope some are of welcome. This is a safe space for lovers of goth tiddies.

    804 upvotes is epic in this land so all I can say is there’s your welcome.

    I feel dirty any time I lose my spine and peek back at a favorite Reddit sub or two. It’s so gross now.

    I’m still figuring this place out myself.

    It’s a journey. Again: welcome.

    I drew a comic of myself once that got turned into a meme. So I totally get how surreal it is to be scrolling through the front page of reddit and unexpectedly seeing a picture of yourself. Although mine was certainly under more pleasant circumstances.

    In any case you seem to have a positive outlook on the whole thing, which is great.

    So Reddit banned you and is now profiting having your picture on their homepage? I would do a takedown request.

        That’s an opinion. I have portretrecht, you can’t just take pictures of me (or anyone) and post them.

        Do you honestly not see the difference between sitting in a busy airport where a lot of people can see you but don’t really pay attention to you, as opposed to being featured on one of the largest websites as a top post specifically to discuss you?

    Were you banned from the AF subreddit or from reddit completely? If so I don’t see how complaining about trump would get you banned from reddit.

    Anyway, did you find those big tiddies?

    I hate this “culture” (?) of recording/photographing strangers and posting them online, but on the other hand this is sooo funny. I’m sorry it happened to you lmao.

    LPT. When being forced to wear shirts with questionable graphics, turn them inside out.

    Not 100% guaranteed but better than ending up on Reddit.

      Or just don’t give a fuck.

      Story time: I had to give a presentation on a group project at university. I was wearing a shirt with a fist silhouette on it, which you could have mistaken as a symbol of a political movement, had there not been the text “nothing says I love you quite like fisting”. Over lunch I had to go home, ~6km, on a bicycle, in the summer, on short notice, because of the plumber being in the house. So I was sweating like fuck and changed shirts. For some reason our team got summoned up to the front again later and my shirt read “I have 5 stars on youporn” with five stars over it. This was in front of 5 professors, ~10 post docs and university employees and ~80 students. On my way out from the cafeteria I greeted the hot blonde from engineering, who looked like she could be an adult content actress, and she laughed the cutest snort-laugh in a shockingly deep voice I’ve ever heard. Most of the profs “loved” me by the way; three of them competed over getting me into their projects and supervising my master thesis.

        Not the complement you think it is.

          It wasn’t really meant as a compliment. She usually looked like she was coming straight from the set of a porn movie. But I think, like me, she wasn’t giving a fuck either. She was good at what she did and the right hand of the head of the engineering faculty. Don’t judge a book by its cover, I guess?
