    I don't see how you got all of the points you made, from my point that banning someone over one non-extreme comment is overreacting. It doesn't work for everyone, but for many people a removed comment with explanation about violating a rule is enough. If it turns out they are one of those redditors where it was not a one-off comment temp banning is the next response, and then permanent banning. Banning over a one non-extreme, non-harsh comment is heavy handed.

    I think there is a difference between telling people about a private conversation and posting a private conversation "transcript" without their permission.

    No. From the start on Reddit your comments still appear on your profile/comments section even if they are removed. You have to go into the subreddit and find your comment to see it gone.

    Wouldn't you be aware that comments are being removed?

    No.

    I didn't look at it that way. I've only seen redditors posting other people's content elsewhere, without their permission, as a means of shaming them and I will not do that.

    For many, many years it was possible to write an automod filter to automatically remove posts and comments from particular authors without letting them know. Why is "the gerontocracy is wavering"...

    Unless something has changed in the last year or so, Reddit mods don't have any ability to shadowban or "shadow remove" comments.

    For many, many years it was possible to write an automod filter to automatically remove posts and comments from particular authors without letting them know.

    Also, that comment is certainly toeing the line of violating that rule.

    Why is "the gerontocracy is wavering" a bad comment?

    Why not remove the comment, send a private note quoting the number of a rule, make a note, and wait to see if the person has a pattern of bad comments?

    I've never been a big fan of people on Reddit sharing personal messages ( even public posts ) on different subreddits or forums for "naming and shaming".

    I've had similar experiences.

    I got the mod to reread my comment, they admitted I wasn't "inciting violence".....BUT I was "celebrating" someone's death ( natural causes ). A while after that they updated their rules ( long form ) to include "celebrating" someone's death.

    Another time I got my comment removed and locked after I told another author she wouldn't be much of a feminist if she refused to vote for a future candidate who would help women, but would be a man. That comment first started me thinking many of those mods just aren't mature. I felt like I was talking to a 20 year old wmst major.

    Hiking groups are one of the top ways for single people to meet people. Find one in your area.

    I used to love camping and hiking, but now can't quite bring myself to do it, this is partially due to the fact that I am single, and none of my (very few) local friends would ever be interested in joining

    In the old "The Brady Bunch" series only the exterior of a house was used. Years ago someone bought it and redid the interior to look like the sets from the series. They now charge a chunk for tours.

    I actually consider repeating recipes ( the favorite ones ) a virtue. At some point I remember how to make them without looking them up. That makes it seem easier and makes it more likely that I will cook at home.

    I will plan out what I want to try on a Saturday, then go buy the groceries for it later that day or Sunday.
