You mean I applied the rules we've had for years? https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/j1/the_saiditnet_terms_and_content_policy/

He was openly advocating mass murder. As well as sexualizing children in several posts, which is also against saidit rules. He literally said:

I'm a reactionary who supports patriarchy and mass murder of feminist scum.

Pretty obvious valid ban, as per long-established saidit rules.

You are taking the quote out of context. Out of context, it looks like he is calling for violence. In context, it is clear he is just defending himself from accusations that he is a liberal.

Thank you, magnora7.

Those of us who came form darker places just have to get used to it, as casual demands for genocide were the cultural norm there. Its actually quite refreshing to not be talking like that anymore

Happy to hear it. I agree it's nice to have a place that isn't taken over by stuff like that

Like on reddit? Where they ban women for offending Trans men? Or like on Voat....

Maybe if it was just that one point needing an explanation and reframing. But then there was that bit with his mom, and the 11 or 12 year olds, and the 'interest' in his own daughter. When the technical line crossings begin stacking up, it kind of starts looking like a pattern.

It's very entertaining how soon the former redditors become envious of censorship. Trolling is not illegal, yet, dumfarse.

Ah, should have specified. Now I see that last sentence probably seemed what I replied to. How soon for this quote?

Yeah, I felt the same way. Thought about going and grabbing quotes in support, but it was some ridiculously late time of the morning. Hence, a pretty weak comment.
