Just got banned by a mod on reddit's /r/AmITheAsshole for telling a mod they shouldn't have a flair that says "shitler" while they're simultaneously telling others to be respectful.

Reddit mods are biased power hogs. Reddit sucks.

It's unbelievable. Directly conversing with mods is like flirting with the devil.

The mods also threatened to report me to the admins to have me banned by my MAC address. So ridiculous.

Think of these mods and what the technocratic future world order will entail. Reddit Mod idealogy except in everyday life. How nice it would be ;)

omg they are all on crack ffs

They might as well be! The worst part is how they act all formal and like they're "just following rules" when they do it, and any anger or negative reaction on your part is seen as 100% unjustified in their eyes and to them just proves the ban was worth it. It's like that movie "Brazil" from 1985.

The only winning move is not to play their games. Hence, saidit

You know, I've been encountering this form of abuse and gaslighting in all sorts of unexpected places lately. It's like all the lizardreptilealienmindcontrolpsychos got the same manual, and their quota for driving the rest of us bananas was radically increased in the last couple of years.

Hmm… Maybe the Illuminati isn't in charge?

Who watches the watchers? Maybe it's the watcher watchers!

Maybe you're just more aware of it? But I kind of see it too. I think our culture is being manipulated a lot by media that basically fucks with our emotions to keep us from being clear-headed.

And I think this has pushed a lot of people to their emotional edge, and then these same people start thinking "Well, I guess this is just how it is now!" and they begin to lash out in the same abusive ways that they're subjected to from the media and from their corporate bosses (corporate working culture in the US is absolutely abhorrent these days as well). Plus pharmas, and money woes the poor economy is causing, and I think people acting like manipulative jerks makes sense. I bet the same thing happened in Rome during the fall of the Roman empire

Yes, all this, plus--when a person is being abused (be it in a family, workplace, society) and they have not yet recognized it as abuse, or faced it as such, the tendency is to pass it on. I see this on a massive scale.

Banned by your MAC address? That's not even technically feasible!

[–]magnora7[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

It actually is, but so is MAC spoofing, and using other devices, as ways to get around it. Actually in IPv6 the MAC and IP address are 1-for-1 so if you ban the IP you ban the MAC.

Not any more. It's deprecated due to security concerns. Huh. Didn't know that was still going on.
