I was banned from a fishing sub. Someone posted some photos of all the trash people leave at their local lake. I commented that people that do that should have their license permanently suspended. I said that they do not respect nature. I also suggested that people should bring a garbage bag and to pick up any litter they see.
Banned for “toxicity”
I messaged OP and they were also banned for toxicity and the post was removed.
Messaged the mods asking how my comment was toxic. They claimed I was shaming people. I said, yes, they should be ashamed. Leaving trash is disrespectful and shameful. They said, exactly, that type of rhetoric is not allowed. I then asked them if they leave trash at the lakes were they fish.
Site wide permanent account ban for harassment.
I filed an appeal and it was denied.

Reddit has become a shadow of it’s former self.
That’s how I found the fediverse.
I’m just glad Aaron Swartz didnt have to see one of his creations turn so far from it’s original mission.
