Just as cringe as the first time I saw you post this. Congrats on being a homophobic racist.

Yes, you have zero reason to say those words ever. Unless you're being a bigot. You deserve that ban.
You seem to be expecting sympathy from lemmy because you're upset that reddit isn't 4chan.
I live in New York and new yorkers swear like drunken sailors. F-bombs every other word and the n-word gets slung around in every sentence, especially by black people. It's baffling to me that this should be a problem in a country that supposedly respects free speech. People act like they have the right to not be offended and they don't. There is no safe space in the Constitution, and yes our free speech applies online.
I've seen some people claim that free speech doesn't apply on servers like reddit because they are privately owned. So Constitutional rights don't extend to private property? Does that mean I can own slaves as long as I shackle them inside my house and can never escape? Because the 13th amendment wouldn't apply inside my house? The bill of rights applies everywhere, including privately owned servers. No one has the right to be protected from offensive speech.
The First Amendment of the US Constitution ostensibly is there to prevent the government from stifling your right to free speech.
Any private entity can restrict your action in/on their property.. Which websites are.
They're NOT the government.
Their house, their rules.

Not when you don't have a right to be on said property. If you come in my house using language I don't approve of, I will ask u to leave and you will :)
I would refute most of the other arguments you made, but full of logical fallacies. Would take too long. Genuinely curious though: how old are you?
Dude. Why? Is it just a lack of creativity, that you can't think of anything better to say? This is like complaining that you can't swear in front of children. Do you really need to? Is it that hard to just...not?
at least it was a temp ban. I don't think a 3 day ban is too heavy handed.
Just curious-- how might that have played out better for you?
Similarly, what could the FV (or Reddit) have given you, after you declared yourself like that?
Is it possibly in the realm of a failing of ours..?
