Platform. I appealed but they weren't having it. Reddit doesn't like people causing others of being nazi and colonial fucks.
In one comment I called spez a nazi fuck. He removed that too.
Dude was talking about how the Brits were actually really good for their colonies (how they brought culture and infrastructure there) and how the bengal famine was actually because of the locals themselves.
London was apparently a benevolent european power.
I've never heard of, let alone seen such a platform ban.
I'm not saying it's impossible, but I'm not aware of them banning for that kind of thing.
It was repeated offense. I had got warnings before for insulating people's limited brain power before.
Tons of people call people dumb on Reddit and never get suspended for it.
I could see them defending spez's honor, but not just calling random people dumb.
Dunno what to say man. Take it up with reddit I guess.
