I got permanently suspended for report abuse two months ago. I still have no idea what exactly they mean by that or how it works, nor do I remember what I even reported the comments in question for. Some bullshit.
I'm glad it's not just me; It's really quite ridiculous. What's the point of having a report button if they'll ban you for using it?
Like, I understand that there's a lot of people who make meme reports as jokes. I know that's a problem, but I think you undercut the report system if you start banning people for reporting- especially when they actually believe they are making genuine reports
Fwiw, I can kinda imagine putin as sauron, the rings would be all his rich buddies I guess? In this instance the one ring would be the people , sadly. The people always suffer cause of some asshole.
I understand it when people call specifically soldiers that, kind of like calling cops pigs, but when people start calling ALL russian people- regardless of their stance on the war- orcs I think it becomes a racialized term. Most of the major subreddits (like r/news, etc) have a similar view and take down comments using the term.
Fuck the invasion, it shouldn't be happening and I hope that Ukraine comes out on top in the end, but that doesn't excuse using racial slurs.
Yea sweeping generalizations suck, and shitting on people who are either forced or hoodwinked into that situation is highly questionable.
They did that all the time for my accounts...
