Because I only use web, on mobile and desktop. I can’t live without adblock.

    I also got a ban after being on the site for over a decade. In a popular city’s subreddit there was a news article about an FBI agent that had to shoot a pitbull in a park. The pit was not on a leash and started attacking the agent’s dog. The pit also attacked another dog in this park a week prior. The agent shoots the dog and everyone in the comments is going crazy about a wild, dangerous dog being shot.

    I said they should’ve nuked the dog and got perma’d. Poof. Ten year account on a throwaway comment, no warning. The mod reported it to reddit admins and then it was removed for “inciting violence”. So now I’m just sitting here with my nukes trying to find a new place to chat.

    Also, API calls. lol

      That reminds me, before I got perma IP-banned, I got account banned for a comment I made.

      It was on a post of someone who died from colon cancer. I commented how important it is to get your ass checked, and that account was perma-banned for “bullying”.

      It’s quite interesting to see all of the hate speech and terrible comments on Reddit that don’t seem to get picked up by Reddit, yet here I am, IP perma-banned for the most ridiculous things lol
