r/RedditCensors banned over…. bringing the bullying and authoritarianism to light that some mods dabble in? Wild.

A post in r/RedditCensors is what kicked it off I’m pretty certain, showcasing how a user was banned from WhitePeopleTwitter over correcting someone on the type of weapon that was used in a shooting or something like that. Within 24 hours, a bunch of people who had this post recommended to them (not even apart of the sub, mind you) who then left a comment, were also banned from WPT simply for association! Then as the subs goal, folks made posts showcasing the absolute hypocrisy of this site in which “everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying and threats of violence”… uh huh, anyway that sub is gone, wiped off the map, I wonder why.

How do they do this? There is no report button for a sub? Do they just spam it?

Honestly can’t give u legit answer, I can only speculate, hopefully someone can give a proper answer!

I would assume mass reporting of a mod could get the job done, less likely but some mods and admins of Reddit are entirely aligned for whatever reason (probably ideological), the story of r/the_donald and some of the things that have taken place between the admins and the subreddit itself is what drives this opinion of mine. Granted could be wrong as fuck.

Let's not forget Reddit forcing a mass ban on all Rumble links for no reason. Reddit is just as much a swamp as Washinton, DC is. There are good decent folks that want to have civil and honest conversations, but a lot more self-entitled jerks that want to control, censor, and ruin everything.

Just go around to any subreddit. Majority of the posts and comments down voted tend to be folks simply stating either proven facts, simple opinions, or supporting a particular party. Shoot. The other day, I was having a simple conversion with someone about how bad YouTURD's censorship has gotten. It moved to talking about the types of unskipable ads and I briefly mentioned Pfizer's ads. And it immediately got multiple down votes. They're clearly bots at this point doing it. But also a LOT of jerks. Another Quick Example: The other month I started playing Minecraft. I asked for a alternative to a resource site because the popular site used a map system. But it greatly strains my eyes. I explained all if that, in more detail, in my post, but I was attacked and harassed by everyone but one person. And my request post down voted into oblivion. All because I have poor eyesight for certain game and website features.

Reddit is trash. It always has been. I joined it years ago and immediately stopped due to all of the negativity in it. I returned last year and I've seen no real change in all those years. 90% negative. 10% positive.
