This has the same vibe as the hundreds of posts that appear on there every single year around the Tiananmen Square massacre anniversary saying stuff like “Reddit is owned by Tencent!!!1! and they’re banning everyone who mentions Tiananmen Square!!!11!!!”

Yes, the anti-China trolls love to insist they're speaking truth to power rather than just echoing a bit of recycled propaganda from the 1990s.

No, that doesn't change the fact that Rule #1 gets invoked on guillotine posts regularly.

There's really no point in continuing this, but again, I use Reddit. I see these posts all the time. I'm not saying no one ever gets their posts removed or banned from communities or whatever, but they're insanely popular to the point someone like me who uses the platforms every few days sees it all the time.

That crazy, because that's exactly what I'm saying. And yet we're stuck here with you calling me a liar.

Why do I do this to myself.

On Reddit, your account would be banned for contributing to an anti-social atmosphere after two dozen corporate accounts red-flagged this image and reported it to the PR staffer currently operating as the subs moderator.

This implies every post of this kind gets the user banned on Reddit. That is verifiably false. If that were true or even common enough, these posts wouldn't be as incredibly popular on Reddit as they are. Shifting your argument so you can pretend we agree is insane behaviour.

And no, I had never called you a liar until this point. I don't assume people are liars - extreme world views often lead people to have biased interpretations of reality, but that doesn't make them inherently evil or liars. Now you are lying, though.
