I got a ban from a group because there was a lot of horse posting. I basically commented that "hey there's a lot of evidence that horse riding causes permanent injuries", and "who here can actually afford this posh hobby". The admins were rich as fuck. Somehow rich people tend to have more time to do this shit. Anyhow, they said that I was being personally insulting because "posh hobby".

I was also kicked from a reddit-logo sub for reporting obvious Islamophobia. Fuck that place.

I got a two week ban from Facebook for anti-white racism. And I'm officially the whitest person on Hexbear.

Maybe I'm a lib or too damn civil, but I haven't yet been kicked from a site yet deeper-sadness

during the George Floyd protests, once a day I would link to some new clip of cops brutalizing unarmed/vulnerable people. there were so many to choose from and I figured 1 new one each day would have a higher impact than flooding the feed.

after a few weeks, FB administratively "check pointed" my account. my account was a goofy fake name and none of my shit was real. they wanted me to submit my real name and a picture of my driver license and address.

I responded that they could fuck themselves in the mouth with a dog turd, and that was the end of that.

my first/only :stormfront: ban was for cooler reasons, but even articulating a few broad strokes would open me up to retaliation of some kind, I'm sure. I am more careful these days, so just imagine something cool that would make you smile and that's what it was.
