It's been two days. Can we get an update on the unreasonable banning going on over at /s/pinkpillfeminism? This site has too much going for it to allow this kind of censorship.

/u/magnora7, /u/d3rr, it appears that these bans are still happening, and have not been addressed. Is anything being done to reverse these bans and ensure they don't happen again in the future?

May you tell the moderators to say that the subsaidit doesn't allow opposing opinions in the sidebar?

Just responding to note that the sub still doesn't have any text stating that they censor opposing opinions in the sidebar.

As I posed to the creator of that thread... his comments were ‘suck dick’ and ‘suck more dick’... other comments which were removed were of a similar ilk, how is that not just spam?

btw OP, /u/d3rr has stepped down from admin duty to focus on coding, and /u/VantaFount has stepped up as a new admin.

Here's the post from two days ago.

Obviously the mod shouldn't be banned, but the unreasonable bans handed out so far need to be reversed, and I haven't heard any word from the admins on the situation yet.

I'm a little confused about the culture/rules around moderation here. Did the mods not have a right to ban me and remove my comments, simply for them being insulting? I knew I was being insulting (in response to the obvious hate post) but even threw in that I would fight for her right to voice her hatred. Should I not have been banned?

I do have to laugh about the irony of banning me while complaining about their subs being banned from Reddit.

See the rules for moderators, linked on the site Terms & Content Policy at the bottom.

SaidIt was designed hoping to correct some of the problems the creators saw with Reddit, which included mods banning people inappropriately for ideological reasons.

4a) Mods cannot remove user comments that are both in good faith and on-topic.

4b) Mods CAN remove opposing opinions that are high on the pyramid of debate, and ban those users on that sub, if and only if the 2 following conditions are met: 1: The fact the sub removes opposing opinions is announced in the sub's sidebar. 2: The mods uncheck the sub setting "allow this sub to appear on /all"

So unless a sub is compliant with mod rule 4b, the mods sub shouldn't be able to remove your comments unless they're dragging down the pyramid of debate. It doesn't seem like dragging down to respond to an insult with insults, imo.

Completely agree. An insult isn't an attempt at a debate, so it doesn't seem like someone should have to respond with a polite comment. And rule 4b clarifies everything. And why they were wrong. Thanks for posting that.

Just DM everyone and move the conversation here. You could write a not with praw to do it probably
