Only time I think I've read it these days is when I have to look something up and the first result is a fucking Reddit page from 50 years ago discussing what I was looking up. Admittedly I probably still be using it if I hadn't been banned from the whole site on a trumped-up charge.

Perma-bans are fucking crazy.
The correct way to think about them is as a death sentence.
Hatred speech in real life:
    what, like 2 years in prison?
    IDK actually...
Hatred speech on reddit:
    death penalty.

More like lifetime sentence because you still can view the content without the account, no? It’s not like they come into your house and took all your computing devices.

Yeeeeah, that's a good point, kind of.
But even people serving life sentences can
    still communicate with the outside world from prison.
