Someone in /r/Bitcoin asked why Russia thought the pro-West government in Ukraine was a national security threat, warranting an invasion, so I commented this link which asserts the coup in 2014, that overthrew the previous democratically elected government, was helped by the US, including the training of snipers that killed Ukrainian police.

A mod PMed me to say that Reddit auto-hid my comment, and he can't even approve it because Reddit's essentially blacklisted that domain.

Reddit also censors links to Rumble.

Reddit is controlled by the North Atlantic Counsel (started around 2016) and started banning all kinds of sites that were opposing their propaganda.

Like corbettreport.com globaresearch.ca zerohedge.com
And many antiwar sites

Why am I not surprised? That site wasn’t as bad in 2015 as it is now.

Actually it was depending on certain subjects: IE: You couldn't criticize Hillary or Obama unless it was approved criticism that was meant to go nowhere. IE: You couldn't DARE mention Benghazi but it was okay to go in endless circles about his illegal passport problems as those threads were I feel by design meant to dead end. It was funny but sad seeing people chew each other out spinning their tires in the mud.

Are rumours about Obamas wife allowed by the mods?

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

I still sometimes wonder what is wife is doing these days? Last I learned Obama is buddy buddy with the rich white elites towards the end he 'softened' up towards the global barons and has his own mansion at sea level with the rest of the 'green' rich people. All those promoting climate change all have ass huge mansions where they are at 'risk' of what they claim.

Which is why I despise the climate change crowd. Yes, climate change is real, but it happens slowly over a long period of time and it is entirely out of our control. The climate change crowd are looking for an excuse to impose green energy upon us, which is inefficient.

On Obama's wife, I was wondering if you could get away with saying that Obama's wife is secretly male on Reddit.

You're projecting your middle class values onto the Cloud People. For you, a house represents a massive chunk of your net worth. For them a buying a waterfront house is like you buying a laptop. It it were destroyed tomorrow you'd say "eh, that sucks" and get a new one.

About prop-or-not that claimed that censorship was necessary in 2016.

Corbett gave me a membership for writing the article about him that was cited on PropOrNot. The article censored from Wikipedia mirrored on Rational Wiki is now distorted but is mirrored and forked now on InfoGalactic, properly, but very outdated.

It ain't much but it's a honest job

I say it's more of a lie

Increasing popular acceptance of outright censorship of dissent is the greatest tragedy in the west. Our entire culture since the enlightenment (1700s) came into being only because we allowed people to disagree and argue over trends in society. That culture provided the most broad-based wealth of any society the world has ever seen. Perfect, of course not. Perfect equality is a dangerous pipe dream. But censorship is a model that has clearly demonstrated its correlation with poverty and class division for thousands of years, and it's always promoted with the old and tired lie that it will provide precisely that which it destroys: fairness.

Reddit has AI 'moderating' now too: https://hivemoderation.com/

Cool program, however I've already found an error with their service in the demo.

This sort of thing is why I am here

There doesn't seem to be much of a 'here' except tumbleweeds to talk too. 😂😒

This isn't reddit, try putting more effort into your posts and writing about things people care about instead of the Reddit way of shotgun firing off shitposts to see what sticks.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Your silly. I put lots of effort and made several examples too!. I don't do memes and that sort of fuck so your idea of a full post is silly. I don't do thesaurus type words it's not the way my brain jives.

Guy didn't realize Reddit has a list of banned websites...

[–]BravoVictor[S] 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Yep. I've known for a while that thedonald.win and communities.win quietly make any comment containing them get auto-deleted. This is the first one other than those I've run into.

[–]JasonCarswell 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

All .win sites are auto-denied on Facebook too. SaidIt still makes a good proxy though.

This crap was done in the Obama era where you couldn't call him out on his energy policies,etc. Benghazi was frequent target for soft censorship Chinese style This isn't anything new but it seems people are now getting the AWS alarm go off.

On Reddit: All Jannies are equal, but some Jannies are more equal than others
