That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I not only got an account banned for trivial reasons, they pre-emptively nuked every account registered with that email. Most were accounts I forgot I had to comment on video games, TV shit, etc.

The reason for my ban was actually in retrospect kind of funny and ironic.

My Otter_empire account got banned on the redscare sub for this comment

Ehh, a lot of the shift is due to libtards acting shitty tbh Something I've noticed between disagreements with libtards and wingnust is the wingnuts will just kind of disagree with your rants (ie I've made pro china, pro palestine comments with some of em) without considering you an enemy, whereas a large amount of libtards begin to actively police what you say and threaten to cut you off, not to mention hate you

So being if you want to have some wild/dissident opinions as a political hipster, it's really only more permissible in the right unfortunately

I'd say it's easier to be a pro choice right-winger, than it is to be immigration/trans skeptical left-winger

Edit: I got banned from the sub for this post apparently. Don't understand how it's particularly offensive or rule breaking, but ok

So keep in mind that was 3 or more months ago. Since that initial ban, I hadn't cared about going to the sub as I considered it already useless.

However; something that reached me in my news feed (whether reddit or X) was about a case with the "Dundee axe girl" in England being vindicated, as the folks harassing her and her sister turned out to be actual predators.

This stuck out to me because I had specifically remembered expressing doubt to some libtard while arguing over the topic.

In my mind, for whatever reason this case and it's narrative defenders reminded me of the Maxwell/Epstein types, in that predators were going for low hanging fruit (ie working class rough around the edges english girls) with a PR narrative ready to go, ready to demonize the victims, etc.

I switched accounts from Otter_empire to BoniceMarquiface because I was trying to search my own reddit comment history to find an argument chain of comments I recalled making several months ago, where I was arguing with a libtard trying to demonize the girl, while I was arguing the potential predators story made no sense to me.

Ironically I didn't need to switch accounts, I finally found the OP which was from otter_empire

There is still barely any information available and you're already jumping to a debunk conclusion based on nonsense. Since you mention how oppressed Mossad figures and traffickers feel like, I'd remind you that Epstein and Ghislane were also a couple, so maybe relax with your nonsense victimization narrative.

This young girl appeared to feel harassed, desperate, and made a threatening display while de escalating (leave me alone, moving away).

The "couple" in question otoh were making recordings of their hostile interaction with two young girls that seemed selectively edited, and even then didn't show them being harassed. So what gives?

I got in a very long winded argument at the time.

So when I came back trying to search my own comment , I got this thrown in my face

https://www.reddit.com/r/redscarepod/comments/1qxqrm0/i_grudgingly_admit_the_2nd_wave_feminists_were/

I grudgingly admit the 2nd wave feminists were right: most men would fuck a teenager if they could

That post made me annoyed. A bunch of morons doing a PR narrative spin, changing the optics to a generic "men in general" thing. It was just as absurd to me as the fact Epstein himself claimed to support "timesup". Yes when things turn into a bullshit culture war, gatekeeping narrative, rather than helping people who are powerless against victimizers in general, it's way easier to do.

In response to that post I made a snarky reply of "this sub was literally defending actual pedophiles harassing children a few months back", out of instinct (the only comment I had made since my other account was banned months back), and that is what resulted in some sort of escalation to a reddit suspension for both accounts.

I could on some level understand the "ban evasion" thing (it wasn't true, but at least made sense) if I went to the same sub within a few days of my ban, but that's not what happened.

What is amusing is I believe every single warning I've ever gotten was somehow pedophilia related. I made a comment on Jeffrey Epstein implying him dying was a good thing, and that got me a warning.
