Submitted a post to r/usa advocating for more public transportation, bikability, walkability, and urbanity in general.
What irony be this, that in my earnest endeavor to illuminate the virtues of civility, my words were misconstrued as mere jest, my wit mistaken for malice. How swiftly the great reddit mods strike, casting me into the shadows of banishment. My intent was pure, my purpose noble, yet my words lost their essence, I was reduced to but a troll. They called me a troll! Oh, the indignity! A troll they called me!
Why are you posting about Reddit here?
Because the nature of the post is highly relevant to the lack of dialogue regarding public transit in the United States. It very well could have been any social media platform and I would have shared the act of censorship.
But you’re not here discussing public transit, or even the lack of discussion about public transit in the us. You made a post complaining about getting banned from a subreddit. On Lemmy.
I certainly did, because that’s what this post was for. Each post has a reason, and whilst some may be directly about one thing others will be about another!
