Essentially, I complained about a pattern I'd noticed in that subreddit where people generally didn't link to the person who created what was being shared. The mods banned me for this, and gave no explanation when I asked what had happened. Nothing in the rules suggests this was a bannable offence.

I am left in a position where the only thing I can assume is that the mods themselves actually purposefully do not want people to credit artists for some reason or another which is something I feel contradicts the very purpose of their subreddit. Anarchy is about building a community of people that mutually support one another, if the mods of that subreddit actively do not allow people to call on others to support, what is the purpose of this subreddit you're building except as a parasocial echochamber with only the veneer of anarchism about it?

(Also, for a subreddit dedicated to accessible anarchy, they sure are quick to give out bans)

Also, better to celebrate what's not AI than get angry about what is right?

I vaguely remember that it's tiered and addition and subtraction should be done simultaneously from left to right, but that just feels like overcomplicating things, since doing them equally from left to right is just equivalent to doing subtraction first.

The same goes for division and multiplication, the systems that put multiplication first are overcomplicating things since if you just put division first, nobody needs to remember that that tier are done simultaneously left to right.

I haven't thought about this in years, and only just became confused trying to remember whether "a - b + c" would have been taught to be "a - (b+c)" or the much more sensible "a + (-b) + c
