I got banned for making a joke on a comedy sub. Literally that. Someone made a comment that they and their wife had been the only people in the theater for the premiere of Bert Kreischer’s ‘The Machine’, and that they had fun and enjoyed it.
I replied that we all knew that was a lie, that nobody had any fun and that his entire relationship was a farce: just grinding out the next 40 years pretending to enjoy mediocre comedies that nobody else bothered to show up for.
Something to that effect anyway. Well, I guess not sharing the same sense of humour was grounds enough to delete 10 years worth of tech reviews, Linux how-to guides and assorted other long-form bullshit. I’m much more careful about where I host my content these days.
