Got suspended for agreeing that plotting to assassinate the president is “the lesser of two evils” compared with murdering one’s own parents.
I don’t have context, but you might have been baited into that conversation by somebody whose goal was to get participants banned. The reason I say this is that it’s such a strange topic to start with. The two options don’t seem to have anything to do with each other, and both options are violent.
All valid points and questions.
It was a news article posted in the r/Wisconsin sub about the kid who killed his parents and plotted to start a violent, extreme right-wing revolution. The headline said something like “Wisconsin teen killed parents and planned on killing the President.” In the first paragraph it said “…he murdered his parents, and planned to do something even more sinister.” There were a lot of posts questioning that sentence, (like, “why is that more sinister?”) and I replied to one of them saying “It isn’t, it is the lesser of two evils.”
That comment got removed (and I think a LOT of others in the thread) and I got a three day suspension for advocating violence. Calling it evil is not advocating for it. It was brought on by an auto-mod, and the appeal was denied a little too quickly for me to believe it was actually seen by a real human, as they claim.
Oh lord, I was on that thread in my few hours between bans earlier in the week, yeah that was a weird thread.
There are so many of those type of baiting around political discussion.

reddit is so fucking weird nowadays
The shareholders don’t want actual controversial topics, only clickb ait controversial topics.
I got a 3 day ban because I said it would be cool if a white dude beat the shit out of this white lady who kept screaming racist remarks at a Spanish guy.
Temp bans now may results in permabans from the site now i noticed quite a few people posted that they were banned sitewide as soon as their bans lifted. Especially around the site wide purges that began since January
Pretty sure it is because I used VPN or because I mentioned trump in a comment, it was a very neutral comment. This is a very old account with over 1000 karma. It is like they don’t want users, they keep banning accounts.
Yeah, they be getting pretty heavy-handed over there nowadays, welcome.
Yea actually same happened to me but you’re a bit lucky mine is permanent yours is temporary.
