I happened to stumble upon that original post where the guy was announcing his supposed “girlfriend” was missing. Seemed like bullshit from the very start. The fact he had to lock comments because way too many commenters were asking questions says a lot. Just the weirdest shit.

The first four years or so that I was on Reddit, I never once received a ban for anything. Since Trump was elected, I pretty much got temp bans every couple of months. Every one was from me being mean to obvious Russian trolls. And then this morning, I got permanently banned for a comment I made over a week ago, that according to Reddits own metrics, received a grand total of zero views. I called a fascist a, um, fascist, and that he wasn’t just licking boots, he was deep throating them. That was a step too far, according to Reddit. And now I’m here.
