That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
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 feel you man, got permabanned as well. Apparently you can not say mean things about Musk, Trump and Israel there, sooner or later it's going to be glorifying violence, and after that they sic a report bot on you or something and you get banned for multiple breaches of the rules, which are entirely ficticious (the breaches, not the rules). Afaik fascists got me banned so they've got one less voice calling out their bullshit.
I am not saying this applies to you but many times someone will say I was banned for saying "mean things" but what they really mean is they called for violence or death of a public figure or another reddit user. Anyone who does that is immediately perm banned. And you can't back track it and say "I really didn't mean it". Add to that calling someone a fascist and you are gone. The list is long but the basics are never call for violence and you can disagree with someone but you can't call them a "name" while doing it.
Everything is considered a call to violence on Reddit now though, I got a week long ban for saying I was surprised Kanye hadn’t murder/suicided Kim or Taylor yet and the reason was I was inciting violence like Kanye himself was going to read that and then do it
If you can't call litteral fascists what they are there is a serious fascist problem going on.
I admit that at some point in Januari someone stated Musk was going to face serious consequences for what he did and I replied that he wasn't unless there was an assassin willing to shoot through a toddler. I didn't say we need to find such a person, or someone should shoot Musk or anything like that. Just implied that he wasn't going to face any kind of consequences of any legal nature. I'd barely count that as "glorifying violence" You can see much worse statements on Reddit every day.
A literal fascist is hitler or mussolini. Using that term for anyone else is your opinion. "unless there was an assassin willing to shoot through a toddler" - come on you really didn't think they would ban you for that? Big red flag just using the work "assassin". I am not defending reddit . I have been perm banned 3 time. And always reinstated. But the last time perm ban lasted 2 years before they reinstated me. Let's just say I know all the "third rails" at reddit. If you touch them you have to expect to get banned. I occasionally use it but now I really have to consider anything that I might post before I do it. It's not about what you want to post or comment, now it's about what they will allow.
A literral fascist isn't Hitler or Mussolini. There are criteria for determining if a movement or person is fascist. I find Eco 's checklist, which is displayed at holocaust musea, so it has some general acceptance, quite handy.

It may have general acceptance but you can't be a fascist unless you have absolute control over your country. And so far at least, our country still has enough checks and balances to prevent that.
What a weird thing to say.
