    if someone is banned from the community why does their post stay up or did they get banned for saying the n word and not the post?

      Ok, so if they made good posts, but they did something bad and got banned.

      Are we supposed to just un-person them? Pretend they didn’t exist? What if they made actually useful posts?

      Seems dumb to me.

        A ban isn’t “un-personing” someone, it’s a temporary restriction on their engagement with one particular community, as a consequence for bad behavior. If that restriction doesn’t actually happen though, it doesn’t seem like a very effective consequence.

          Either way, best to just follow the community rules, blend in, occasionally say what you need to, and never get too comfortable or used to any one community, or human comodity.

        | Wow you’re telling me that a lazy, microsoft bootlicking, carnist is also a racist? I’m shocked.

        1. Why are you calling OP lazy?

        2. Why did you latch onto the insinuation that racism is involved at all?
          Some other person speculates and then you accept it as fact?

        3. Why are you employing zero critical thinking skills and assuming OP
          is a Microsoft bootlicker? Have you been to c/linuxmemes ? Linux users make fun
          of their community all the time. In addition, OP could be a BSD or MacOS user.
          And Crossfitters and Vegans can make fun of themselves too.
