WTF is going on. They removed my ban 2 days ago.
I was able to make a few comments on reddit this morning, including:
I've never ONCE IN MY LIFE called for violence or promoted violence. It's antithetical to my very being.
And almost immediately I was banned for "violent content."
This time it says "the ban will not be lifted."
WHAT??
I signed up with my voat name today to reply to this, having been a Reddit lurker for years: they’re messing with you. They want you to be jerked back and forth - appeal the ban and they will likely agree like the last time. It’s petty and weird but they see it as chipping away at you, which may be correct, even if you acknowledge their intent and try not to let it get to you.
You have worked hard over the years and likely have a personal connection to the work, and it’s this emotionality that they want to attack. You know you are doing good work, and they want to make it tough for you -but see that as a sign that you’re doing good work.
It’s all the power they have.
