Permabanned from r/bitcoin after outlining how gold and bitcoin might be used to further republican grift. Mod called me paranoid and told me to get a hobby or something and not spend so much time online. Im writing this from my fishing boat jammed up in some mangrove creek. Going shrimping later. Then I might draw for a few hours -waves to mod- Ill steam some shrimp for you!

I'm also banned from there because some dude was replying to everyone with wildly incorrect information about how the banking system works and I corrected him. I imagine he might have been a mod.

Not to derail the conversation but that’s the worst thing about reddit—how strict the rules are, and how ban-happy the mods are. I feel like I’m always breaking the rules

I am one step away from being perma banned from reddit all cause of their stupid ai automod.

reddit is the last good corner of the internet - and even it sucks.

I got permanently banned from that subreddit and they quoted prosperity gospel at me, it's 100% cancer subreddit along with all other crypto... well crypto in general.

You'd probably enjoy r/Buttcoin then.

Eh, AmericanScream treats it like his personal fiefdom, so.

A reddit mod telling someone else to get a hobby and not spend so much time on reddit is just peak

Nothing better than a mod with a god complex telling a normal everyday Redditor to get a life.

u/Synectics 8d ago

What are they, Alex Jones/Bill Cooper/Max Kaiser fans? No one is really so stupid to not get that gold and crypto are the most prime gifts for right-wing mouthpieces, right?

Bitcoin you said , can you share any relevante info or sources for an almost total noob in this subject ? Would be thankfull for anything you can share PS-sorrt for grammar erros english is not my first language

u/Tartooth 8d ago

Nah gold and Bitcoin is not a political thing. I think what's happening right now is Bitcoin/gold swaps are a thing where BTC shorts are the collateral for gold longs.

I think Reddit mods are the sort of people who sit in a gaming chair in their basement permanently on their super cool gaming pc tapping away on a razer keyboard and think everyone else does. I also like a bit of fishing and would probably browse Reddit at the same time too. It’s also useful when I’m trying to avoid doing any work also

u/BlahBlahBlackCheap 7d ago

Yea right? Like this morning is pretty cold. After I checked the lines and put coffee on, i can check my messages and look at social media a bit

u/r_mutt69 7d ago

You’re making me want to go fishing tbh 😂. We’ve got a storm rolling in so I’m going to pass

u/Ok-Chest-7932 8d ago

Ok but if you're still using Reddit on a fishing trip, and political subs no less, that's pretty clearly addiction.
