That community has apparently had similar bans in the past, and neither the community nor the server mention their rules anywhere I can find. I also messaged the mod to ask for a link to the rules, their reply was “You need to complete your sentences otherwise you’re going to get a ban.”
Not sure if the mod just didn’t like the content of my comment and made up a nonpolitical reason, or if their modding is really that arbitrary.
Ngl it’s quite a funny ban reason 😂 but you really shouldn’t take any sdf communities seriously, they are just screwing with you.
Your question was valid:
But they could have simply replied “Ok, maybe aiding and abetting would be a better choice of words” or something similar.
This construction is called Schrodinger’s Douchebag.
Deleting someone in the comments who is pointing out that your dead-serious post is being dishonest, doesn’t all of a sudden become light-hearted and silly just because you are lying in a weird way about why you’re doing it.
I don’t think they are particularly political tbh. I guess you can choose to take it seriously or choose to find it funny. You do you Philip.
Always do.
do me next
See, as far as I can tell, you are actually doing the kind of political absurdism that SDF is pretending to here.
I honestly can’t tell whether you are trolling or doing satire or what your real political leaning is, which probably means it’s pitch perfect satire. Maybe. Like I say I have no idea. But the fact that I can detect a single strong political leaning in SDF’s antics, and often the funny has to give way to the politics apparently, is exactly what makes me feel like they’re not doing absurdism so much as they are hiding behind it.
that didnt sound anything like me
Precisely. Like I said, I always do me.
