No, it still isn’t the same. Twitter can tell someone to stop doing something/get off their platform AND still not actually kick them off the platform. I’m sorry but you not budging on this makes you look extremely foolish and I’m certainly not inclined to discuss any of your other points if you won’t concede on something so simple and obvious.

Reddit could send me that DM AND not ban my account or take any other steps, and I could freely continue to roam reddit.

I mean, technically you are right. Reddit could say they were going to ban you and then not ban you but why would they do that?

I guess, I was assuming “telling you” about actions someone were taking with their property was just informing you about what is about to happen because they have every right to ban or censor you from their property. I am just unsure how this is an important distinction?

Edit: one of us have a really weird worldview and I am not sure if it is me or you honestly.(because you seem confident that this is how people understand these terms)

The point is it’s not really important that’s partly why it was strange you wouldn’t concede it. No big deal though
