I'm new here too. Just signed up today after the ban hammer came down hard on reddit. I'm not here to be a racist or a sexist or a homophobe. I've come here because I'm just so sick of how Reddit is being run.

On the old internet, if you didn't like the way someone said something, you either ignored it or called them a fag or a douche or some other word. And people didn't really care. Nothing was ever meant by it. And because of the culture at the time, that was just how the internet was. Now, you can't say anything without being warned, banned, shadowbanned, witch-hunted, or whatever else.

These people probably weren't using the internet back then, and now that they are using it and seeing "bad words", they feel offended and report you or try to ruin your life. They don't understand internet culture. Plain and simple.
