Since Luigi they have gotten a lot more strict about this stuff.

But ironically I feel like this is kind of the same situation as Kirk. I’m sad for the situation that led this to happen. There are contributing factors here that are deeply troubling and should be addressed. But I don’t feel sad for Kirk and I don’t feel sad for the DeProgram even though I don’t think it’s right to leave that decision up to assholes in suits.

If you don't embrace late-stage capitalism

There, all better now.

I don't disagree with that. My point was more along the lines that that particular community is home to some pretty rude assholes. When the difference between getting banned and not, depends on the extent to which a rule gets violated...that community definitely has a very high number of people with no filters, who regularly spew some pretty rancid takes. Not really the types to "keep their heads down, until shit blows over", if you know what I mean.

And unfortunately as you indicated, due to Reddit being Reddit, now is probably not the best time to go out of your way to prove how edgy and anti-establishment you can be. It just gives them an excuse to pull the trigger on you.
