  • Fair enough, you may have misunderstood my initial statement. I will once again clarify. I meant to say to stop validating abnormal behaviours that are likely mental illnesses. Now, you can make the claim that if someone wants to act like a furry even though it might be a mental illness, then let them be. But i know that if i ever had a child that exhibited these tendencies, i would want them to seek help for it, because it is NOT NORMAL - at least in my opinion.

    Also, I don’t mean to say that there’s a mental illness necessarily causing these tendencies, rather it is the fact that these furry tendencies - the ones that I’ve described - are in and of themselves a mental illness.

    It’s entirely possible that i am wrong, and that it is not a mental illness, but i would bet big money that it is one.














  • It is not often necessary. There are many things I’ve done on Lemmy that would’ve granted me a permaban had i done them on Reddit. For example, I’ve made a joke about someone killing themselves on both lemmy and Reddit. I was banned from the sub on Reddit, while my comment was only removed here on Lemmy.

    Now i know next time not to make that joke. A permaban wasn’t necessary.


  • Permabans are akin to life sentences or death sentences. They should be reserved for serious “crimes” or multiple repeat offenses and not for breaking a rule or two. Something that Reddit mods can’t wrap their heads around.

    I was permabanned from r/college for trolling once. Like wtf! I was also permabanned from Reddit as a whole for calling out reverse racism, but that’s another story.
