I left Reddit because I got perma sub banned for being part of another sub. Which had no correlation to the other one. After this happening twice I said screw it. Fediverse it is for me

    Posted on r/KotakuInAction by any chance? I usually run into this kind of complaints because of that sub.

    My personal take is that subs that ban people just for posting on other subs are actively perpetuating their little opinion bubbles. They are essentially creating little virtual prisons for their members, and most of them are actually happy about that, which in turn tells all I need to know about those members’ intellectual laziness. To twist around Groucho Marx’ quote, I would refuse to join a sub that rejected me for posting elsewhere.

      Attempting to police whom people are allowed to communicate with is a standard tactic cults use to manipulate and exert control over their victims. it’s part of the BITE model of authoritarian control.

      Although I for one generally don’t care to meet or talk to transphobes, racists, fascists, or traditionalist conservative types who simp to the peer pressure of dead people, I will not stand for some third party trying to make the judgement call FOR me. I don’t need some meddlesome middle-man gatekeeper superimposing their expectations upon me. Gatekeepers (who try to control OTHER people’s gates) go on the same list as the tradcon bigot scum. It’s MY business who I choose to talk to and why. And I also make it a point not to police who OTHERS get to talk to.
