Also very concerning is the removal of subreddits.
I have come to expect this from Reddit.
The Reddit brand is totally lost to me. I go on there for specific smaller subs, otherwise I avoid.

Was a moderator over on Reddit (before our sub was caught up in the recent banwave) and can confirm that when an admin removes a post it shows as removed by admin (Anti-Evil Ops).
That post was removed by the subreddits moderators, not the admins.
nestle was shown to desire ownership of water.
those posts started getting deleted.
along with all other nsfb .. now i have a name for what I used to see.
NSFB, finally a modern identity I can get behind.
How does that $72k expense happen?
Not being careful with the "cloud computing" bells and whistles. One time Amazon tried to sneak a $25 charge on me for "developer support" for my "free trial". I complained and they removed the charge without arguing... scam!
edit: I read some on it, they pushed code with an infinite loop, thought it wasn't running, but woke up the next day to their $72k bill.
Dang!
reddit is a dumpster fire floating in an oil slick and I cant wait for its inevitable explosion
I would have thought the same thing about Facebook.
Seems YouTube is joining that party too. Also Wikipedia amd Twitter have been a part of that tribe.

Drag down discussion again on this sub and I'll remove it.

This isn't that kind of sub. In over 2 years you are the first person I've actually threatened. I debated even bothering. I have removed a few ads pushing products, but unless I've forgotten, I've never removed any posts nor comments. I don't care for authority in almost everything. Asstrolls are among the few things that are worse, particularly in subs like this.
Not to defend Reddit moderators' bad decisions, but I wonder if this is a case of a company lawyer sending Reddit for a 'cease and desist' about a negative post, and thus the creation of NSFB. Influential websites have an obligation to comply with such requests or face lawsuits. Though I believe the OP, the company in question would naturally want to wipe the complaint from Reddit. It would be bad for business not for them to do so.

Reddit is an insult to freedom of speech. This report shows they removed 130 million posts and comments in 2019. The admins and mods are using the platform as propaganda weapon by deleting content and opinion they disagree with on a massive scale while bots and AI create a false consenses that matches the prescribed agenda.
