I couldn't disagree more. The ACLU are the biggest defenders of free speech in the world. Opponents of free speech are far more dangerous than advocating for free speech.
Downvoted for supporting free speech and the ACLU. Tell me again who are the extremists? Because fuck a Nazi but they aren't the ones trying to silence discussion in this thread. YOU ARE.
You're wrong. I'll never use the site again. Reddit wasn't the first and isn't the only option.
I don't think that's insensitive. I think claiming a 12 year user is harassing people and permanently banning them, because they complained about subjective moderation, is evidence of how poorly run Reddit is. I don't need an article about me but it's damning evidence and can certainly be beneficial to these authors who already are writing about Reddit and have an audience. But I have nothing to share if I can't get a hold of my comment.
I was a 12 year user and they banned me permanently on the 6th, during a blackout, for "harassment", on a comment that was mild and simply complained about r/politics moderators and shared my true experience of being banned from politics after a decade of use for saying, "only a fool links opinion pieces as evidence.". Would love to prove it but they removed my comment and I haven't been able to track it down subsequently.
Anyone have any ideas how to get it? I'd like to send my story to some journalists while Reddit is a hot topic to show they ban long term users who didn't break rules simply because they don't like what the user is saying.

Banned permanently from the site for this extremely
mild comment. Anyone know how to see what I wrote? I would like to forward my story to journalists while Reddit is a hot topic.

It's removed but it simply complained about r/politics moderators and told the story of them banning me permanently for saying, "only a fool links opinion pieces as evidence.". They banned me for "harassment.".
People who use cucked as a pejorative in normal conversations are stupid AF.
