    My innocent comment was suppressed without appropriate justification ; I said « gosh i need a drink… » where is the bad language or the controversy ? I am not going to stay long on this network if i have to write like Jane Austen.

  18. Dean Kirk on April 20, 2021 at 7:35 am

    I was on r/legal advice and one my comments wasn’t helpful and they removed it which I understood after asking them why they were removed it and then shortly later they Banned Me from posting is there just like a one strike rule system with harsh rules where if you say anything that goes against their terms and conditions automatically ban even the smallest mess up because my opinion is that someone should have not talked to the police without a lawyer and that they shouldn’t have let us store accused them for stealing without any evidence



  19. Sassy Banana on April 20, 2021 at 7:36 am

    Funny how we all come from different years, you might even be here from 2 months, 3 years, mabye even 12 minutes in the future from when I wrote this comment

    How do you leave comments tho?



  28. 1973Washu on April 20, 2021 at 7:49 am

    It is not self regulating , political parties have worked out how to manipulate the system and play Reddit like a finely tuned violin and make it sing whatever song they want it to sing.



  29. Madam Lt on April 20, 2021 at 7:50 am

    Ok I highly doubt anyone will see this since this is such an old post but I posted on Reddit and the took down my post saying it was deemed “fake” it wasn’t. I don’t understand the instructions on how to get it back on there. They keep saying the instructions are there to get it back to so people can see it but o just don’t understand. Can someone tell me in the most delicate possible way the step by step process to getting my post back up? Yes. I’m dumb.
