"I was banned for encouraging violence"
What did you say?
"Ronald Reagan should get shot"
Ban justified. Don't enourage violence, its not hard.
It was a joke about a dead prick that got shot. Who are you going to be violent to?
Tampering with a corpse is a second-degree felony in the US, the place where remarks regarding Ronald Reagan would be relevant. If this is how the citizens that create the law view physically defiling a corpse, it goes without reason that encouraging violence on a corpse would be low regarded as well. Additionally, incitement to violence is a criminal offense in many places.
Needless to say, it is very easy to not encourage violence. Just don't do it.
What was the content you shared?
It's hard to tell if the ban was justified of not from that message.
All I said was "he should be shot" about a picture of Reagan. Who was shot... And lived and is dead for the past twenty years.

Openly advocating/encouraging violence, even just against those who are already dead, teaches young impressionable minds that that sort of behaviour is acceptable. They don't see the nuances of it being a joke / being about someone who can't suffer from those words; they just see that speaking about others like that is ok. They then carry that behaviour into their own lives and treat real currently living people like that.
Ban justified. Think on it for your 7 days, and come back a better person.
Dude, for real, you’re being a douchebag edgelord. Stop it.
Right on Reddit share holder
Apparently, dark humor isn't acceptable on lemmy, either.
@southsamurai @blindbunny Then it's heresy!
It can be sent my way I’ll enjoy. Bonus points for gasps
This thread is all the reminder of why I’m not on Reddit at all. Y’all so uptight. Op was funny and y’all have zero sense of humor. So long c/reddit as well.
K bye
