This was cited by the reddit admins as the reason they have just banned my account, instantly for this single thing, I've never had any other problems on the account.

It was a joke. A funny one at that.

It is absurd because "nonce" is barely a bad word. Equivalent to "dummy" or "shite".

Reddit is so shit.

EDIT: My appeal just got rejected. Landlords are officially an immutable identity akin to lgbt people and gender according to reddit. Also "nonce" being equivalent to "wanker" is apparently meaningless to them.

I'm quite annoyed.

    People that encourage or incite violence or hate towards marginalized or vulnerable groups will be banned

    Reddit considering landlords a vulnerable group is absolute parody

      Nah I don't think they are, I think the reason OP got banned is because she insulted the admins, and the admins are all petulant manchildren.

        How is it even an insult to point out the admins are all american and wouldn't know our brit slang? Nonce is incredibly British and barely known elsewhere.

        It's because Reddit has word filters now, at least in certain parts of the website that they consider a "problem". F*g/variations will also get you banned instantly via bot.

        It's very disturbing that "nonce" is considered hate speech though. Pedophile rights is coming next to the culture war folks, strap in, because many of you nonces will be on the pro-pedo side.

          Chuds have been saying this since at least 2012.

          I have yet to see an "accepting the GAYS means we should also accept the PEDOS" take which wasn't a bad faith chud/pedo false flag.

      excuse me sweaty, but it's pretty culturally insensitive to use the l-word, consider using less offensive language such as People of Land (PoL) in the future. The l-word is very problematic and if you do not become more sensitive to the increasing rise of richism, then I may be forced to start a the twitter hashtag #bottechisover and you may risk being cancelled. 💅💅💅

      It's pretty funny how mild it is given its origins. It comes from Not On Normal Courtyard Exercise which prison officers used to refer to prisoners who'd get knifed if they mixed with all the others - usually because they were in for being kiddy fiddlers.

      But yeah, it's a comparatively very mild insult considering it comes from "You're a pedo"

        that sounds like one of those false etymology backronyms, like how fuck stands for Fornication Under Consent of the King because old timey people needed to get the king's permission to fuck.

          Yeah it's possible to be honest. I am going by how my dad's family used it and quite a few of them were in prison at one point or another.

          Slang is hard to pin down I guess. I've heard a tonne of ideas about where the word chav comes from.

    Fucking hell Reddit is a cesspit. I can guaruntee I would be able to find at least a dozen racist, transphobic or homophobic attacks up to and including inciting violence on that shithole in under half an hour, report every single one and get some reply along the variation of 'this is free speech actually no reason to ban' with maybe a slap on the wrist for the very worst ones.

    Reddit is such a perfect small scale example as to why liberals will always, without fail side with fascism over socialism or even moderate social democracy these days.

          Life would presumably be shittier for them without the labor of the global south, and with them having to extract that labor from people in the imperial core states, violence nearer to them would probably escalate.

    I got banned on reddit for this comment: https://imgur.com/a/Ndej3dw

    Citing antisemitism. Lol they got mad because I was being upvoted. The mods on every major political sub are definately infiltrated feds of some kind. Reddit is too powerful a tool of social manipualtion.

    I use Tor and have to make fresh accounts pretty much every time I go on there, so bans do fuck all to me at this point. Time before that I got banned for saying China is a good country and Chinese people respect the trade-off between insularity and protecting their own culture. When they can see everywhere else in the world is absolutely fucked by American imperialism, they don't need state propaganda to convince them how shit everywhere is compared to them. I got banned. Ironic.

      Oh fucking hell, I bet it is in the most grubby, pathetic way imaginable.

      Seriously, can you imagine? Some CIA spook turns up and sets up some "super secret clandestine meeting" with a bunch of the admins - shows of some bullshit gadgets and does this flashy techy word salad garbage about how they're "crucial to defending American freedoms and Democracy" and all that shit. Plenty of technogabble in there too that makes zero sense but they don't notice cos they're a bunch of malajusted stemlords with the critical thinking capacity of a fucking slug.

      Probably bangs on along the lines of some weird conspiracy theory that's gotten the distributing far right tropes buried far within it - I dunno, China and Russia influencing the internet or something.

      Fucking hell, I bet the admins would be creaming their pants for a pat on the head from some dipshit CIA handler like they're in some fucking blockbuster or something. I bet some of them have even taken to doing admin stuff from the back of a black van they rented just for that reason so they get to feel like they're in a real life spy film.

      It 100% is. They don't even really bother to hide it. They brag about it in their Linkedin profiles.

      In 2017 Reddit got a new Director of Policy, Jessica Ashooh.

      Jessica had never worked at Reddit before, or any social media company. The position she came from was Deputy Director of the Middle East Strategy Task Force for the Atlantic Council, which she'd held since March 2015.

      The Atlantic Council, as can be seen from internal CIA documents, is a CIA front.

      Before that, Jessica was a Senior Analyst at the Policy Planning Department for the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and had been since January 2011.

      Reddit may not have always been psyop, but it definitely has been since 2017.
