    You can’t have a progressive space on a non-progressive platform. At best it gets removed, at worst it gets to stick around specifically so that it can be censored like this, tricking the people who rely on that community for their info into thinking they’re fully informed when they’re really only getting what information the platform deems benign enough to allow them to see.

    All of Reddit is compromised. At this point, anti-Zionism is a bannable offense. I’ve been banned twice for “hate speech”.

      It’s unbelievable how far reddit has fallen. From 2010 to about 2016. It was the website I visited the most. There were very useful and knowledgeable posts there. It was considered a left leaning website.

      Then a ban Then another ban. Few more finally permabanned and anything I create even on new hardware on a new ip was auto banned on the first post.

      I gave up. I refuse to click reddit links anymore. Uninstalled the app. I wish I could remember the passwords to my old accounts because I would nuke my entire post history

      I don’t know how a company survives by nuking it’s user base who made it. And I’m far from the only person who’s been permabanned. Some entire communities user base has been wiped out.

    I think the original founder of 50501 was strong-armed out by a “professional” group of protesters. That’s pretty sus in itself.

    All of Reddit is compromised. I remember getting permanently banned from WhitePeopeTwitter for calling out Biden’s age during his second election. It’s one big echo chamber for Democrats or Republicans depending on what sub you’re on. Reddit is absolute censored trash and it has been for years now. Hence why I said fuck it. Deleted my account and now I’m here.

      i almost never get censured on whitepeopletwitter, they are probably lenient on some things. but if you go to other subs, like r tech, politics, news,etc you will get banned much more easily. and then the wierd newer “News subs”

    Let me play devil’s advocate and say that redditors/reddit mods just have rules they follow weirdly strongly like “don’t make posts in all capital letters”

    I guess it would say that in a top comment if that was their motive for removing it.

      Yeah, having modded subreddits for a while, a lot of ban appeals come from people who think that every subreddit’s rules are the same.

      The subreddit could have one rule, “Do not use the letter S,” and people would still get confused and outraged when their posts are removed for using the letter S.

    Just hold the election. If McConnell shows up with the ability to do his job, he can have it back.

      It’s not about an election. If McConnell vacates the seat before some time in August (I’m not sure the exact day) the Governor of Kentucky (who is a Democrat) can appoint a new Senator. Obviously Republicans don’t want this.

    Tbh I’d hold off on the pitchforks before checking that the thing a random person on the internet said was true. For all we know this was a duplicate post.

    I mean, I’m not going to check because I can’t use old Reddit anymore, but still.
