I’ve confirmed this with multiple accounts now. If you promote the 2nd amendment, including training responsibly with others, your account will be autobanned within 60 seconds.

To be clear, my comments contained exactly zero calls to violence. They were simple comments stating every American has the right to arm themselves and that everyone should train responsibly, ideally with others who are more experienced.

I’ve had 4 or 5 accounts autobanned within a minute now. All immediately after posting pro 2nd amendment comments. These accounts were anywhere from 1 week to multiple months old. So they’re not brand new accounts that are being flagged for whatever reason.

Reddit is now complicit in the fascist takeover of our nation.

    Far-right nuts have been screaming about that 2nd amendment you guys have for decades.

    Now that left-wingers are talking about it… it’s a problem.

      That’s because guns do nothing against tyranny except increase the justification (see my other comment a few days ago abt defending myself against armed corrupt police while unarmed myself)

          My previous comment: Exactly I’ve never needed a gun I think its purely marketing and social expectations causing Americans to default to “muh guns” when someone’s mentioned self defense. Like if ur up against guns js wear body armour at all times rather than trying to be john wick.

          Editing to add my other comment which adds why it acc worsens tyranny: I’ve been stabbed too. Ive never felt the need to carry a gun. I face a lot of risk anytime I leave my house esp rn acc due to political unrest essentially I still don’t feel the need for guns yet the government do feel the need for arming trained police (known for corruption and violence where I’m from) who I think are a lot more likely to kill me than someone w a knife. As I mentioned tho I still don’t feel the need to arm myself against those people infact doing so would worsen the situation as I’d be more of a threat and could be further used for the narrative justifying the arming of police in the first place

          Edit: if an unarmed person is shot by police even if its attempted to be covered up the people who were there will know what happened. if I try to shoot the police because im threatened and they shoot back that’s going to worsen things. I don’t see how its better to carry a gun in this situation

    Funny how it’s been a thing for YEARS without autobanning. When it was “I need my guns to stand against tyranny if it shows up at my door”, there were no autobans. Now that tyranny is actually at the door, they autoban.

    Bastard and his bots will always banhammer anyone even remotely talking about committing violence. He doesn’t like progressives contaminating his LLM farming data to sell for.

    So fuck you spez.

    Just lurk on reddit. Don’t contribute anything there. Leech like u/spez does & you’ll be happier.

      When my accounts were permanently banned I spammed AI gibberish into all of my past comments. Salt the earth and deny them any benefit from your efforts.

      Just leave reddit already, it doesn’t have anything of value.

      It’s the same thing as bitching about Facebook while still using it.

        It stopped being helpful years ago, I no longer trust advice on there since It’s usually an ad or someone insulting the poster for not knowing the answer because they have a life outside of being on reddit 24/7

    If you’re not rotating your IP every time then you’re getting hit for ban evasion triggered by keyword detection or reports

        I got banned for suggesting someone in Trump’s administration should get the death penalty for something that you can actually get the death penalty for.

        Nah, I bought a couple things on there and did a federal background check every time. It’s the law. If I didn’t do that, I’d be a criminal.

            Well that depends on many things actually, this isn’t exactly true.

            In the case of sites like reddit, it’s mostly through mail, meaning it would have to be mailed from an FFL to one near you where they do a background check. If it’s in person, that still depends on state laws, some allow it, some allow rifles but handguns must be NICS checked, in some states it must go through NICS.

            For law-abiding citizens, yes. Those prohibited from buying guns can’t do private sales. Otherwise it’s a crime.

      Late reply, but like it or not, Reddit is still invaluable for me, even if it’s essentially a capitalist exploitation of its users.

      In short, its got loads more thriving communities and user engagement, altho I hope the FV can steadily make gains, there.
