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!
I mean, is there a rule against being odd? Do we all have to speak the same way and say the same things to avoid being banned? Seems like a dangerous viewpoint. As long as someone isn’t being uncivil, they shouldn’t recieve a permanent ban.
Probably not. Certainly not. Very dangerous, thankfully not near what I said. Being civil might not be enough depending on the community rules and mod style.
