Me playing Fallout 3 in 2010: “Haha, this hyperbolic racist redbaiting is just making fun of how xenophobic and paranoid people in the fifties were.”

Me reading a local news comment section in 2020: “oh no, oh no, oh no.”

    You're probably freaking mostly with bots/sock puppets. I've noticed lots of vote manipulation on certain posts to create the illusion of consensus.

    Votes don't actually mean anything on Reddit, just keep posting and even if you're massively down voted, you are probably still getting through to tons of people.

        I'm glad I did hivemind shit for like 8 years on my account because I have something like 100k karma so I'm basically invincible unless I really poke the bear.

            Weird, I seem to get away with almost anything. I got a 3 day ban from LSC, but that's because a mod for mad at me for saying Nazi lives don't matter and it's good to kill them.

                Even better is to scrub your post history (leaving a few innocent posts) and working the "I wanna help out moderating" angle and sabotage from within.

                Or at least post things with a sock puppet and prevent them from being removed.

            Yeah it's per-subreddit I think. If you have a million karma from a hundred subreddits, you'll still be rate limited in that one subreddit you're -20 in or whatever
