2 is best. 5 is tolerable.

I was banned 3 days for "hate speech" because I said the IDF was committing horrible crimes and killing children.

I was banned 7 days for violence (on a shit-posting sub) for saying Bonhomme should go to Washington DC and sort out 47. Bonhomme is the mascot of Québec Winter Carnival. He is a snowman. For context, the original shit-post had a "photo" of 47 gleefully eyeing a poster of Bonhomme. I did try to appeal this because....really? I was unable to even submit an appeal. I guess the US must be absolutely terrified of pretend snowmen from Québec.

I was permanently banned for violence because I spoke against 47 and his underlings calling for the annexation of Canada. The war-mongers are allowed to threaten their peaceful neighbour 🇨🇦 (and others) with economic ruin and invasion, but a citizen of 🇨🇦 isn't permitted to speak against this threat?

I was a premium member but I had put a pause on the membership a couple months back when we began boycotting the US. I didn't even try to appeal the perma-ban. I cancelled my membership/account and uninstalled the app.

They're not even pretending to be going after Hamas anymore.

Our house is old. We have spiders. They're not venomous and they're pretty cool. I have to occasionally rescue them from the old farm sink downstairs.

We 🇨🇦 have been yelling at 🇺🇲 for months now, "Boycott, protest, do SOMETHING!" Very happy to see them take action against the orange shitgibbon and his '88' fanatics. Well done! We're doing what we can by boycotting the US, but it ultimately falls to the 🇺🇲 people to clean up their own house.

Perhaps I just missed it, but I didn't see any support from local government, such as Mayors or Governors, speaking at the protests. Oh, well. Carry on without them and remember who stood with you and who hid under their desk.
