Not anymore though. Right, Spez?

Idealism is out the window and he’s cracking that whip

Yeah, big subs had mods removed and replaced

Criminality and incivility, so hot right now

A scout is obedient, a scout follows the rules of their family, school, and troop. They obey the laws of their community and country.

Considering just how far we’ve fallen, calling someone a boy scout is a pejorative followed closely by “were you raped?” with the assumption that every boy scout gets raped

Scouts are old school, we can see how little society wants people like scouts by the ideals scouts are taught

Scout Law:

• Trustworthy
• Loyal
• Helpful
• Friendly
• Courteous
• Kind
• Obedient
• Cheerful
• Thrifty
• Brave
• Clean
• Reverent

Scout Oath:

On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

Scout motto:

Be Prepared

Scout slogan:

Do a good turn daily

Society does not reward people who adhere to these ideals anymore. In fact, they are actively ostracized

I miss objective news in general

Everything has a spin on it, even if it’s subtle

It was a bot that automatically banned you

So glad I’m done with that shithole

For mobile:

Use a VPN (different from the one if currently using)

Get a new phone

Switch from Google to Apple or vice versa (all accounts)

Write and post in a different writing style

Visit very few of the same subs from previous accounts

Get a new ISP

Yes, they’ve always been here. There has always been more stupid ignorant people than educated and intelligent people.

Previously, the stupid had no platform.

The fire hose of stupid shit we are inundated with nowadays used to only trickle through in person.

Someone would say something insanely stupid to you at the bar, at the grocery store, at the barber shop etc… and all we had to do was ignore them or tell them to shut up

Thanks to social media, now they’ve teamed up and have millions of followers.

The question ought to be, How are the the educated and intelligent going to rise above it?

Honestly, I shouldn’t still be pissed about my ban but I can’t help it.

I was on reddit for over 10 years with millions of fake internet points

Sitewide banned me for no discernable reason

It’s been a couple of months and they still haven’t even bothered to respond to my appeal

Now that I see how reddit’s going down the tube, I don’t even care if they respond at this point

I’m done with it

100% dude mailed it to himself

This forces my own question

People can tell my age just by my punctuation or lack thereof?

I wouldn’t

I know how to separate my self worth from my net worth

Seems like most folk these days cannot

But only worked for space force for 2 people

I was working space force way before it was space force

I don’t consider it an accolade, nor would I consider being on that stupid forbes list as an accolade

Space Force didn’t exist under Obama

30 under 30 alum also includes people like Elizabeth Holmes, Sam Bankman-Fried, Carline Ellison, and Martin Shkreli

Welcome to Lemmy former redditors

¯\(ツ)/¯

I was on reddit for over 10 years, the ban message I received wasn’t from the mod of the sub or even from the sub itself, it was from reddit admin claiming mod harassment

I was sitewide banned from reddit and never the sub

I was direct but polite, I didn’t understand why and my appeal and messages to reddit admin have gone unanswered

I’ve been banned lots of times before by overzealous mods and even sitewide banned with false reports from trolls but a simple appeal always sorted it out in less than 24 hours

Not this time, it’s been over a month and I’ve heard nothing. Time to move on

They’re not looking for users that rock the boat

I just politely asked a mod to clarify a sub rule and got an unappealable sitewide ban for it

Reddit was dead long before this though, even before the 3rd party app ban. I just wasn’t willing g to accept it.

Good riddance honestly
