Reddit "accidentally" rolled out a new censorship algorithm only to face major backlash - harmless comments are now getting collapsed and labeled as "Potentially Toxic Content".

Cheers. Well said. Reddit has such problems from the admin level to the subreddit moderator level. Just today I got banned from /r/democrats because I was talking negatively (but factually) about Hillary Clinton and the DNC. I simply left about 8 factual statements in a thread, and that was enough for them to permanently ban me from the entire /r/democrats sub, without any warning or recourse. In that moment, I also felt happy saidit exists. It's nice to hear other people like yourself are seeing reddit clearly for what it is, and appreciating the value of saidit. Thank you.

Jesus christ. And everyone wonders why the alt-right is so popular these days.

All hail Spez and the Atlantic Council. I love China and scarcity and global warming are real. Civility over freedom! The Constitution I just some old document, not relevant at all. Don't click the ban butt...
