Reddit privacy moderators recently censored this content over a day after it was posted. IMO the reason is suspicious.

Accessible at Reddit or Reveddit

(There are no subreddit rules banning "political propaganda" or "character assassination." Nor does this comment appear to rise to either of those accusations: other non-removed comments back up the removed one.)

    Reddit is an advertising platform not a venue for speech. You're not talking in the "public square" your talking in a billionaire's house. So you play by the owner's rules.

    Even the name "public square" implies that nobody owns it. If you think Reddit is important for free speech, then it should be nationalized. Only then are conversations about censorship even coherent.

    I think it's funny that you think our democratic systems are strong.

    Not sure about the Brave thing but I do know he knows a lot about the antichrist.

    The point is mostly to contain the inevitable griping to some degree.

    If there's a c/ where complaining about reddit is the default, then it's easier to channel such things to that c/ rather than dealing with it constantly in other communities. Can't say how effective it actually is, but that would be the point imo

    If you hold the view that it's good to call out the bad behavior of Reddit in some discussion forum, then it literally has to be here on the Threadiverse. Surely I don't have to explain to you how impossible it would be to hold power tripping mods and admins accountable on Reddit itself.

    For myself, I don't really care that much, I just browse All/Active and block communities that annoy me. I recommend this approach.

    I do see the logic of the "abusive ex" approach and I think I even agree at the individual level, something like "if you want to move on from Reddit, get it completely out of your life."

    OTOH, having the only place where people can discuss the abuses and excesses of Reddit is a huge competitive advantage for the network as a whole IMO.

    It's possible to do both. It's important to have a place that catalogs all the problems with reddit. Especially since they're censored on reddit. If you don't want to see it, unsubscribe from this sub.

    Well then perhaps use a little bit of discretion and common sense, and don't come into a community that you're not subscribed to, and start talking down how we shouldn't be here.

    Honestly get the F out of here.

    Then block it if you really don't want to see anything to do with reddit.

    I do want to see this comm. I never said I didn’t, you two just have really bad reading comprehension.

    Uhh... This is what you originally commented:

    What’s the point of having this community? This smacks of a jilted partner occasionally stalking their ex from the bushes, seeking out validation that the breakup was warranted. Instead of giving energy and time to the Reddit dumpster fire of the moment, put more time into the fediverse.

    So you're either trolling or you have some serious cognitive issues.

    Ok. I'm not keeping track of usernames. You answered as if you were the previous commenter. And my response telling you to block it if you didn't want to see it was perfectly appropriate.

    Your follow-up response is the odd one:

    I do want to see this comm. I never said I didn’t, you two just have really bad reading comprehension.

    Isn't that just misinformation? That should be removed
