You reply in the comments, and i try to guess your age based on a short conversation we have. That's it!

Basically, a group of black users were being racist to white individuals by making a bunch of generalizations, so i wanted to point out the hypocrisy by making an obviously racist generalization of my own. I commented, "All black people are disgusting", and was rightfully called out, but the irony was that they were doing something pretty similar calling white people colonizers and other things like that.

The result? I got mass reported and banned, and due to Reddit's inability to identify nuance in comments, my appeals were all for naught.

Anyways, what kind of life allows you the luxury of being terminally online when you choose lmao?

I simply pick and choose when I want to be sociable outside. My friend group is understanding when I say I need a break to recharge.

So how long will you be in Nigeria?

That introverted lifestyle. I like it

I'll be in Nigeria till I'm done with university. After that, maybe i might return to the U.K. I still have to figure out what to do with my psychology degree.

Thanks. Now let me guess your age. From my analyses, i think you're: 27

[–] Troubleinmind@lemmy.wtf 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)
