I just got a six day ban today, not sure why. Don't really care. I only went on because Saidit was down, but this is the whole problem with Reddit: It's a forum that you can't talk freely on. You can only echo approved sentiments.

Yep - which is why Saidit has so much potential IF it can also engage comments and posts that do not "echo approved sentiments."

EDIT - for what it's worth, I can't see anything that would have warranted a ban. You may have annoyed someone in /r/politics with this comment: "Why would kids be getting more rainbowy [20% vs. 7% rainbowy adults] if not external influence. I think the point is to remove child sexuality from schools." But you're absolutely right about this, and I would think this is relatively uncontroversial. One main problem at Reddit is that it's been overrun with kids c. 10 - 18 since the Digg invasion. Anything annoying those know-it-all dumbasses might be cause for complaint by them.

I just checked, it's because I pointed out one of the BLM rallying cries was "kill whitey."

What really annoys me is that there is any attempt at Reddit to stop people from posting their own perspectives of what happened in an historical event. It's anti-democratic (something on my mind as I'm watching the commentaries on the invasion of Ukraine).
