Yes, every time I come across an old post that I want to communicate about it has been locked for no reason. They do this because the mods take their job far too seriously, they think they are like ww1 troops in the trenches.

Fascist Reddit.

Rarely.

Dumb post.

I see it all the time. There's usually not a good explanation for it, or an explanation at all.

"Post is getting too many rule breaking comments." That's what those fat tranny reddit admins are there for. What the fuck are people supposed to do who want to discuss a subject?

It's perhaps the third worst aspect of Reddit after the tranny staff and the libcuck members.

IDK. I'm mainly in the news-related subs, and I start reading the posts that appear under the 'new' tab, instead of the 'best' tab. So I see the posts before they're locked. They shouldn't be locked, and users shouldn't be banned for racist comments, but the mods are volunteers and don't want to continue removing dozens of rule-breaking comments. And this is not common in news-related subs. There are also very few trans people mods. Libcuck is just a stupid name that only 12-year-old 4chan users use. The worse aspect of Reddit is the control of some of the major subs' contents by mods who are paid influencers. /r/worldnews has the worst of them.

Libcuck is a pretty good term for what I saw when I looking for Reddit's take on Twitter's Advertiser situation. These people blindly praise Media Matters like they're some force of good instead of a left wing political attack dog created by a guy I wouldn't be surprised if it comes out is a pedo.

Media Matters

They serve a very important role of challenging the far right misinformation and disinformation. Don't worry, wealthy investors have made sure that there are numerous far right misinformation engines online. Hardly anyone knows anything about Media Matters.

That doesn't paint a very rosy picture of the org when you look at the controversies section. Also David Brock switched suddenly from being a Republican attack dog to a Clinton lap dog in '97. I wouldn't be surprised if the Clintons have dirt on him, probably tied to the pedo rumors.

Both Clintons have been relatively centrist and even right-leaning on occasion. They're opportunists. Hence Bill is one of the most strategic politicians and Presidents in US history. Whatever shade you want to throw at Media Matters, you know Twitter has - under Elon - become a significant right wing resource (and spreader of misinformation).

Twitter with Community Notes makes it one of the best fact checked sources of information.

The opposite.
