    1st amemdment doesn’t apply to private businesses. If they want to ban you, they can.

    Considering they want to be International, they have to follow the rules of each country, so youll usually end up on the stricter side with everything. Lowest denominator and such.

      Wow, you completely missed the point. I wasn’t complaining about being permabanned, I was pointing out that to be permabanned, they must have reviewed my 12 years of posts, and determined that I don’t fit Reddit’s new Nazi-collaboration mission, now that they’ve abandoned their original Free Speech mission.

      I suspect I now have a target on my back.

        I interpreted it as you said it.

        I didnt say you complained, I explained a concept to you.

        An old comment likely was reported and you got banned for it.

        They would knock on your door without banning you if you were a target. They know you cant go back to commenting after you arrive in El Salvador.

        So don’t be paranoid, but also don’t be stupid. Lemmy doesn’t protect you.

          I didn’t need your condescending explanation, I know exactly why I was banned, much better than you.
