In seeking identities of those behind anonymous social media posts, the Trump administration is intensifying its pursuit using grand jury subpoenas.

        At this point, its almost a negative sign of your true character if you haven’t been banned by Reddit yet.

            Just go on there a speak negatively about the pedophile and MAGA and you’ll be silenced in no time, at the guise of something entirely different.

              Holy crap. That’s all it takes now? It used to require a believable threat, if memory serves. They’re like this close to having FCC-style broadcast TV censorship.

                Yep. I encountered some asshole saying Alex Pretti deserved to die because he was carrying a gun in the presence of law enforcement. I told him he wasn’t just licking boots, he was deep throating them. That was “harassment,” according to Reddit. And I was permabanned. I never got banned for anything my first 5 years or so on Reddit, but as soon as that fat orange fuck was elected, I started collecting temp bans every month. Makes you think…

                  sounds all too familiar. any thread I was in that was about trump or maga would get brigaded and every non-conformist commenter was temp banned.

                    Reminds me of the movie, Demolition Man. Republicans tried so hard to paint liberals and leftists as censorial authoritarians.

                    “Can I say that immigrants are poisoning the blood of America?”

                    “You betcha!”

                    “Can I say that people who worship unjust law enforcement are malicious sycophants?”

                    “No. That’s harassment.”

                    Sieg Heil, I guess?

        It takes a desire to start away from Reddit - it’s very easy to sign up again under another name. If you have Gmail (yes, I know - privacy - but it’s fine for throwaway crap), all you have to do is add a plus sign & any gibberish you want to your email address.

        [email protected] …becomes… [email protected]

        The stuff from the plus sign to the @ gets ignored by Gmail servers so it all gets sent to the first address still. Handy feature for a few oddball purposes since you can filter based upon it, although it’s hit or miss whether any given site will accept such an address with a plus sign - last I knew, Reddit still did.

          I’m not sure what they’re doing but I tried to evade a ban by using a 10-minute email address and signing up through multiple VPNS. It still banned me each time so I’m guessing they must be harvesting MAC addresses
