Reddit

Pretty common if Reddit mods and admins these days. I've been banned from so many communities for being right in the face of mod ignorance.

That is why Lemmy exists. And I hope that even more people will start using it since new harsh Reddit policies have appeared.

I think left wing content on Xitter just gets suppressed, not deleted. Since buying a checkmark gets your posts boosted to the top of the algorithm, and right wingers are far more likely to give money to the Nazi bar.

But, I haven’t used it in a long time, so I could be mistaken. When I gave up on it, I was being shown almost nothing but alt right shit regardless of how many accounts I blocked/muted or what posts I interacted with, though. (And pretty much the only other content I’d get was porn and gore that I didn’t want to see.) And every search would show me a hearty mix of Nazi propaganda and porn, no matter how irrelevant.

Reddit moderation has been pretty comprehensively captured by bad actors.

Facebook, Twitter and Reddit all have a history of silencing by shadowbans and most people have no idea. There's a billion different ways to silence you on each of these.

Designing an opinion platform with "volunteer" mods is asking for agenda-driven operatives to volunteer.

That’s Reddit, I was banned from a Pokemon Go subreddit for being against Niantic forcibly leaving their sandbox environment on iOS.

Reddit's glory days were when it was big enough to have consistently interesting stuff, especially in the niche subs, but not so big that bad actors (corporatization, foreign influence, domestic partisan bots, hate groups) could enshitify it. Now it's practically unusable.

Yikes on bikes.

TBF the Reddit mods who do a good job never get talked about. I've seen very reasonable mod teams
