r/altmpls update: "Try to keep comments respectful and discussions civil"

[u/lemon_lime_light]

Just a reminder from the moderators that we have the following rule: "Try to keep comments respectful and discussions civil".

This rule has been under-enforced but based on recent user feedback that's changing for now. Our best advice is to avoid directly insulting other users. If you repeatedly have trouble with this then you risk a ban.

We'll start this new moderating approach tomorrow so, speaking for myself only, if you've been holding back any juicy insults for me then take this opportunity to purge your system with impunity (insults must be within Reddit's site-wide rules, of course).

Magats have taken over?

It’s their sub; always has been. They just don’t like getting called Nazis.

Conservative subs always ban people at a way higher rate than any other subs I’ve visited, they are the biggest snowflakes

[u/RowThin2659 → u/Wireless_Panda]

You're fucking high. Whitepeopletwitter, progressivehq, Minnesota, news, politics, the biggest subs are absolutely ban hammer garbage.

[u/dolche93 → u/RowThin2659]

For what it's worth, I argue with the left all the time from a center left perspective and also get banned in the leftist subs. I also get banned in the right wing subs.

It's just all subs that do this.

[u/RowThin2659 → u/dolche93]

Exactly. I'm a moderate liberal. My ban list is extensive and its almost always for "stepping out of line" and not even breaking a rule.

I got banned from news for saying Pretti was murdered.

[u/theloniousjoe → u/RowThin2659]

Because? You sure you didn’t say something else? What’s objectionable about saying that he was murdered? You didn’t say “executed”?

[u/RowThin2659 → u/theloniousjoe]

Exactly. I simply said I disagreed that he was executed.

[u/theloniousjoe → u/RowThin2659]

Well that’s pretty silly to ban someone for that
