I got a lifetime IP ban on Reddit for saying "Fuck Elon Musk all the way to hell" - so fuck Reddit, fuck DOGE, and especially fuck Elon.

Hmm, sounds like your freedom of speech was suppressed, at least according to the standard Elon espouses. I wonder why he now feels so strongly about doing the opposite thing from what he wanted before. πŸ€”

I truly can't imagine what that could be, he's always been so stable and trustworthy before.

lol I got actually hwid banned for refusal to stop Luigi posting

[–] MyMotherIsAHamster 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, they seem super sensitive about anything Luigi

Probably because the top level β€œpeople” at Reddit know they deserve to meet him

To Hell, you say?

I got mine for hoping Elon's penis pump would explode and burn him to death from the dick up.

You paint a beautiful picture πŸ˜‚

How's an IP ban even supposed to work when you get a new IP regularly?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

This is a myth. We're out of addresses and now most DHCP rules are locked.

Honestly, I wish I knew - I tried creating new accounts from both home and other Wi-Fi networks, and they all got banned within an hour. Our daughter still lives with us and her account was banned too, same thing happened when she tried creating new accounts. I'm assuming it may be tied to the MAC addresses of my laptop and phone, but not sure.

I actually pay extra to my internet provider for a fixed ip so that I may have a privilege of being permabanned

You forgot β€œto hell” in your last sentence 🧐
