Yeah, they banned /r/the_donald for rule-breaking, not Trump support. After Trump was out of office (or maybe shortly before, I forget the exact timeline) and in lockstep with the other demonstrations of performative outrage that were expedient at the time. There's no cultural moment for Reddit to co-opt here. It's just a straight-up cry for censorship from a small but powerful clique and as such is going to be much more divisive.

Hmmm... small but powerful clique...

Is this possibly, a small, rootless international clique?

 

[NOT THE BEEEEES!]

Just checked the one subreddit i check in with once in a while. They’ve mercifully managed to stay out of this bullshit entirely.

You seriously buy that "rule-breaking" crap? Suddenly, when losing political impunity of the office the main social media platforms each ban the trump nucli.

The only difference between these events is the power of the people that want the censorship. The justification, that's the easy part.

From the perspective of someone who already does it for free, what constitutes a 'scab'?
Are they concerned people will start paying to be reddit jannies?

to stick with the labor union analogy, a scab would be a janny who refuses to black out his subreddit when the janny discord mafia tells him to lol

but nothing about the analogy makes sense anyway. jannies can't really strike because their "work" doesn't benefit anybody except themselves and there is no employment law or contract to prevent reddit from simply sacking them and replacing them with a new batch of volunteers willing to do it for free lol

 

[Don't Tread on Me]

Reddit is full of busy bodies virtue signaling while they jack off to trannies and rape porn. They will make no contribution to society. They will ultimately die alone surrounded by Funko Pops and rainbow coloured mass produced plastic made by chinese slaves in their dumpy, disgusting basement apartment. Their parents will wonder where they went wrong, how did they make such an absolutely worthless human being? But ultimately they will embrace the sweet release of death and live out eternity in heaven, surrounded by loved ones; and all their possessions will be donated to the church where it will be used to help homeless people get back on their feet. Their son or unfortunate daughter will eventually blow their brains out, having never had the pleasure of their parents looking down from heaven and being pleased with what they saw. In two weeks their body will be found due to the abhorrent smell noticed by their muslim neighbors, who will thank Allah for never having to set eyes on the creature again. They will die never having made a worthwhile contribution to society, infact they will have fought to make it worse. At least that's how it plays out in my head.

Spez: "Look, faggots. The only reason I haven't outsourced your position to Indian guys with a third grader's English dictionary is because I would actually have to pay them something. So how about you take your sperging back to your Discord server and let my users jerk off in peace?"

 

[cockaine]

I do not hope that we see a huge janny exodus as a result of this that leads to a mass ritual suicide. That would be terrible.

Silence is violence. By not participating in this, they're actively RAPING people.

Imagine Sanjev500 responding to a rape threat report and going "looks fine by me".

I'd actually start using reddit again.

"Privatization", "congress", "uprising". It must be sweet playing grown-ups in the comfort of your gaming chair.


Don't forget tyranny, which trannies / jannies are fond of accusing people of.

“Tyranny” is an anagram for “Y, Tranny?”

The_Donald was banned literally half a year after they completely moved platforms. There was no posting on the_Donald. You literally could not post or comment, and this occurred after they tried to forcefully remove the mods and replace them with the power Jannies.

If you haven't been following how reddit works, right wing subs are either A. Outright removed (RaceRealism), B. Spammed with lolicon from AHS while their mod is asleep, or C: over analyzed to hell until the find something in the case of The Donald.

Either there was a 6 month queue to go through before the ban or it was the admins being retarded. We both know which was which.

 

[Android raptor]

Damn jannies managed to be even more retarded than antimaskers and antivaxers lmao

I mean, yeah. The theory that explains this is that Reddit was just afraid of the PR backlash of banning /r/the_donald until it was clear that it was "safe", which didn't happen until Trump lost the election. [Edit] I'm not saying that it wasn't politically-motivated, of course, but that there was a clearer pretext for banning /r/the_donald then /r/NoNewNormal, which requires instituting a new rule that nobody (including its advocates, who would simply steer a very wide berth around it) would understand and expecting moderators to enforce it.

It's also again a problem of the rough tools that Reddit uses to not only ban communities but also "evasion subreddits". Trump support isn't banned but anywhere that gets a sufficiently high concentration of Trump supporters probably will be. So if /r/NoNewNormal is banned then people will try to make new subs but they'll get banned as evasion subs. So instead they'll start filtering out into subs like /r/conservative and /r/conspiracy, which will then become targeted and have to institute the sorts of very broad "no vaccine skepticism" rules that I mentioned before. But no one knows what that actually means.

 

[Fastest Hand In The East]

I remember that guy! I think he had his own subreddit where you could just post anything and he would instantly gild it. I don't think there were different "awards" back then though.

yeah, also this video provides the story
the vid is a little stale because the poor scizo has already died

Wasn't T_D mercy killed after the January Capitol building storming? I believe the timelines match up but I'm not autistic enough to actually google it.

 

[2lolis1cup]

god damn it youtube. This is discrimination of those behind 7 proxies. I also can't click through the captcha it just resets...

The Y represents the Y chromosome they will always have. Or the Y chromosome they will never have, depending on the type of tranny.

Y the last janny

 

[Maurice Caine]

So from what I've seen, most on Reddit are either confused, laughing at the retards shutting down and saying it'll do fuck all and/or normalising censorship is bad, or suggesting to double down and delete other subreddits as well. Funniest shit I've seen is r/StarTrek going private, then some nigger made r/Star_Trek to fill its absence in the meantime.

I'd hope this shitshow ends with a total jihad of jannies and the assblasting causes Reddit to collapse, but that's fucking optimistic. Best part is the worm med sub being meme'd on and doing a better job than this whole shitshow of janny pride.

imagine liking star trek

Driving such a thing is loads more fun than tyrannizing soyboys and fatchicks on reddit that marginally stray from the party line.
Also, real janitors get paid.

It was June-July 2020 that it was officially banned, it was dead for 6 months before that as everyone moved to win. It was actually a positive thing that reddit did this because it created win and now all subreddits that are in danger of being banned immediately set up a win and start advertising. I'm not sure how much faith I have in win, but consumeproduct is still allowed to exist there with even with the anti-zog/nigger posting.

 

[moocow]

All this talk about how the internet used to be this crazy and wild place where people would say outrages things is making me wonder why has it all changed? What made people shift so much from shit posting, to every person with a shallow understanding of politics feeling the need to share their thoughts all the time.

Normies happened. Also the first generation of "participation trophy" children raised by helicopter parents came of age and started venturing out of their safety bubbles and, instead of adapting to the world, demanded the world provide them more safety bubbles.

What are the odds the redditiod admins cave to the jannie uprising though?

But why didn't spez okay the crackdown anyway? He runs the pozzed social media outlet, the one that's completely designed to push normalfagism on alleged free thinkers, and a place for encouraging any matter of disgusting fetishes up to literal pozzing. I'd expect him to be more than cool with kicking down bodily autonomists on his turf, I'm confused, this is completely out of character for him and large social media in general.

I'm actually pleasantly surprised Reddit admins aren't straight up deleting subreddits that don't follow the narrative and are deleting spammers complaining to the point I'm suspicious.

The admins absolutely support these antics and agree with them completely. They don't always have the option of allowing these schemes to play out, though. Sometimes they're forced to stop them (very publicly) to avoid bigger problems.

There's two things that will typically force the admins to reign in their useful idiots. One is when they're about to go absurdly overboard with an action and/or their plans for it get leaked publicly (like it did here). If jannies scheme something like this and manage to keep it quiet, the admins will still pre-emptively stop it if they're targeting too many subs at once or being otherwise excessively aggressive.

The admins don't want users to form an impression that there are coordinated large-scale efforts behind the scenes to manipulate the site "unfairly." Reddit owes much of its (undeserved) popularity to the superficial image of fairness it projects, so the admins have to at least feign disapproval of widespread backdoor collusion. In situations like this one where the exact details actually leaked, the admins are forced to very publicly disavow and flex against it just to try to ensure users don't think the admins themselves were involved (if possible).

The second thing that'll cause this is one of reddit's funding sources clearing their throats and "suggesting" intervention because the "wrong" bad people are being targeted and that could cause the purse holder some problems. Sometimes it's better to allow a group of wrongthinkers to stay on the site where they mostly keep to themselves, as opposed to nuking their sub(s) and causing a stir that might draw unwanted attention to the group or the people attacking them.

Ex-tumblr mods.

Tumblr had mods? I thought that place was a kiddie pr0n haven, so if they had mods there, why would those mods have allowed ... oh. Ohhhhhhh. God dammit.
