MODERATORS
 

Submitted a post to r/usa advocating for more public transportation, bikability, walkability, and urbanity in general.

What irony be this, that in my earnest endeavor to illuminate the virtues of civility, my words were misconstrued as mere jest, my wit mistaken for malice. How swiftly the great reddit mods strike, casting me into the shadows of banishment. My intent was pure, my purpose noble, yet my words lost their essence, I was reduced to but a troll. They called me a troll! Oh, the indignity! A troll they called me!

You posted a screenshot of the ban notice, but not the content itself...? Without any context at all, why would I believe you over that mod, or anyone else for that matter?

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah exactly, because there are ways to advocate for something without sounding like a troll... which OP may or may not have done.

Why are you posting about Reddit here?

Perhaps writing like a normal person instead of a theatrical character could help not getting into mods nerves lol

I mean, is there a rule against being odd? Do we all have to speak the same way and say the same things to avoid being banned? Seems like a dangerous viewpoint. As long as someone isn't being uncivil, they shouldn't recieve a permanent ban.

Probably not. Certainly not. Very dangerous, thankfully not near what I said. Being civil might not be enough depending on the community rules and mod style.

I mean, I want to ban you from here, so I can see why someone else gave into the temptation elsewhere.

Ok but what's your favorite form of transit OP
