Internet@kbin.social – 1 points – I have an account on reddit over ten years old, with not quite 100k karma. I have never made a second account there, I have always represented only myself, and have owned my posts. I posted almost exclusively on /r/politics, /r/news, and /r/worldnews.
I haven't posted much at all there the last few years, because of getting banned for life over stupid things - for instance, I got banned from /r/politics for agreeing with another user (who was from Mississippi) concerning the governor of Mississippi, that he was not just 'special' (the Miss. guy's bit), but 'short bus special' (my own contribution to this).
I get it, it was pretty insensitive. It doesn't help that that particular phrase, is something my wife uses to considerable effect, and has as long as I've known her.
Anyway, boom, lifetime ban from /r/politics. I kinda think it was a setup, because I had grievances against the mods of /r/politics.
In any case. It's good to be able to speak up about politics again.
