Hilarious how ghosting has been a thing for years now. How do you even justify it? we're at a point where modern media is even more controlled than the old forms of media.

The bad thing about sites like reddit is people think it's organic but it's really as manufactured as mainstream TV news. People are much less skeptical and less questioning of things they read on reddit as compared to things they see on the mainstream news.

They can't resist leaving community growth alone. They must influence it, and change how people think because they can't risk living in a world with different opinions.

Actually it's mainly because their 2020 IPO legally demands it. They're censoring for money reasons and legal reasons, not ideological reasons. I expect things to get worse on reddit as the 2020 IPO approaches.

They're censoring for money reasons and legal reasons, not ideological reasons.

Explain to me what are the reasons put forward when censoring for ideological reasons? Are they not always disguised as legal and financial?

I don't think they care enough to censor for ideological reasons at this point, all they care about is money. They've sold out, they have no ideology left than greed. They just delete whatever the person who pays them the most tells them to. The ideology of that person may come in to play, but I think reddit itself doesn't care about anything other than money at this point.

Maybe I'm just baked but this article is written like shit and makes no sense. There's contradictory claims and no evidence.

I think there's just shadow bans and mods removing content that makes it to the top of /r/all. Automatic reddit/admin level censorship of certain urls (4chan and 8chan) which cannot be overridden by mods is an actual story imo.

They marked my account as NSFW for participating in “problematic” subreddits, and my posts are getting shadowbanned from just about every sub I post on. They are purging users off their platform.

Reddit, whatever, they are using these algos to ghost stuff in search engines themselves...Fucking SJW Commies powered by jew mafia. Just fucking boycott the hell out of them all... I haven't watched a non pirated movie in the last 10 years. I refuse to go to a Movie theater...Joker I really wanted to see but fuck the Warner Bros, not giving them a fucking dime.

Still better than this shithole where admins moderate the entire site and then lie about it

do you want a do-over now that you're familiar with our mod rules?

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

fuck no, I don't want to run a sub where everyone else has more permissions than I do, there's no point

the admins here are worse than reddit

poal and voat are good enough, the admins are professional and helpful

this place is never going to grow because of the mod policies, when you have the average dimwit determining the rules and the admins are just as idiotic claiming everything is in good faith as a way to impose their will, all you're going to do is end up with a bunch of point farmers and spam
