Banned from Reddit
by @gmcgath
Liner Notes
Achievement unlocked! I got banned from a Reddit group for criticizing moderator abuse. Here's a little song celebrating the occasion. It's to the tune of "Banned from Argo" by Leslie Fish, and I suspect many would prefer I not post a demo. 😀
Some details have been altered to make a better song, so don't take this as a strict account of the facts.
Lyrics
When I logged into Reddit just to see the latest news, I criticized a moderator who did power misuse, I had no expectation it would help the quality But didn't know what he would do to critics such as me.
Refrain: Now I'm banned from Reddit — well, one piece. Banned from Reddit and its nonsense will not cease. I'd made a few posts earlier, just maybe three or four, This loony doesn't want me any more.
The mod's demands were simple, and his methods weren't complex. He said we couldn't talk about what people post on X, To point out that we ought to know did not affect his stance. And anyone who disagreed would get no second chance.
A gang of Trumpists made some posts, nobody seemed to care. They put up some off-topic rants to say that they were there. The moderator upped the ante, doing much the same, And those who didn't want the popcorn were all put to blame!
Comments
funny. not funny. It's getting scary out there. Don't post your address on anything critical, the (brave) neo-Nazis may show up (in their masks.)
Bravo! I have been able to resist all temptation to join Reddit. Reading a couple of discussions there each week is sufficient to provide all the disincentive I need. This convinces me I'm doing the right thing...
