  • I was in the WNBA sub a while back. And there was a conversation going about fair pay. I wasnt too into it, but I commented “Is the league profitable now? I thought it was still needing investment from the NBA?” Got instantly banned, and a rather nasty message from a lesbian woman, who was also non binary and “2S”. Why was any of that relevant to the conversation? Fuck knows. But she made a point of telling me anyway, while calling me a troll for saying that the WNBA was shit… which I didnt, as you can see from the comment. During the discussion of her inserting what she thought I was saying, I got the back story. I was then reddit banned for “harassment”. Thats right, she reported me to reddit for asking why I was banned, and saying that I never did what she said I did.

    That was the last interaction I had with a mod, the first was about 20 years ago in an xbox forum. Somehow, a playstation fanboy had got into the mod team and started banning people for saying that they prefer xbox to playstation… on an xbox forum… I have hated mods for as long as Ive been on line. They have nothing been anything other than power hungry bullies.













  • Imagine, instead of “hate”, its "You cant talk about trans people without handing over your ID. Are you ok with that? Cos right now, youre OK with kicking 4chan out, even though that wouldnt get rid of whatever problem you dont like. But at some point, say, Trump. Could get a law going into effect similar or worse than the UK one, only instead of porn, its “Woke”. And he and his cronies get to decide what “woke” is and how to age verify you to be able to access services for gender care.

    And the age shit isnt even the worst part. The UK government wants apple and facebook and everyone else with a messaging app, to create a window for the government to scan messages. They say for abuse. Luckily, it cant be done as it would break the current encryption methods used. But that doesnt mean they cant force it later on down the road. And got forbid your girlfriend or wife sends you a naughty text message with “Daddy” at the end. You knock on the door, and pedo label slapped on your citizenship score.

    Whenever you want something new to be put into law. Always look to see the worst case that it can be abused, and then ask if you still want it. Scanning messages might protect a few kids, so its worth it right? But the cost is that for the rest of time, no one gets any privacy in their communications. And worse, the government can your private communications to profile you and then sell that data, above or below board. Does it still sound great?
