Thank god this is the story, I was worried that he was actually boring and then he did something crazy to grab attention. Him being a wholesome and person is just so nice
It also shows how incompetent Reddit admins are and how ridiculous shadowbanning is. Like if you are going to make no one see his posts, inform him with a proper ban and a proper email outlining his violation of the terms and conditions of his account. Shadowbanning just validates persecution narratives and turns any website into mini echo chambers where no one can see anything else besides “approved” content. It’s dangerous and shitty point blank.
Ephesians 6:10-18 says, Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.
I'm glad he made it through that year. It must have made him so sad but he kept being a good human throughout the whole time. Imagine what that could have done to someone who maybe wasn't in the best state of mental health.
People paid Reddit money so Andy could see some icons on his post, that is ironic. Andy will never see a single penny from Reddit because of those awards
This is a good reminder to advocate for yourself if you feel ignored. Sometimes people are mean or sometimes they just don’t realize. Calling them out will give your power back.
“Accidentally”. That’s literally reddit in a nutshell… everyone gets false banned/ muted for no reason Edit: just got banned again for "repeated violations" lol (and no I have never been banned, muted, warned or anything.
No really. Reddit is not a govt site. They can censor whatever they want because they own it. It's like you ejecting your guest out of the house for being disrespectful to you in your house.
That's just horrible :( All of those posts and no one could reply. The dog one got me, it's just so sad. Edit: just came back to this after a year dang my for the likes
Reddit fucked up for a whole year and all they could say was "oh shit my bad lemme fix that" dawg a whole year? A whole year reddit just didn't pay attention to the posts this guy made
Nah they just didn't care Also the cherry on top was the 3 year subscription like your mom trying to make you "feel better" after screaming at you the entire night by giving you a dollar
I genuinely feel awful for this guy. Constantly reaching out and never getting any type of response hurts, no matter the medium it’s in. I’m glad he didn’t get bitter about it and give up, that probably would have made him feel worse. I’m also glad he got the interaction he wanted in the end, and hope he and his dog now have many positive interactions.
Aw, it must have felt so good for Andy when he saw all the comments and rewards on his posts. Im speaking from experience, it truly feels nice people when people talk with you and try to help you :)
Poor guy. I can tell by the photo was he really wanted some people to give him care. He was probably alone, though that sign with the dog says otherwise
His most recent post was on the subreddit r/vent, I won't go into it because that's neither my place or would be helpful, but this man has gone through alot. Both with the shadowban and now what his post was about and probably alot more we will never know. I wish the best for him, he seems so genuinely kind from what I've seen
Literally me with youtube comments. Ill have the occasional zinger that gets 1 like (isn't mine) but for the most part. I just speak out into the void. I've come back to comments years old and just cringed because there wasn't even a single impression on it. So I feel your pain reddit man
