Roe was never good law. It created a "right" out of thin air that was certainly not what the founders intended to provide when they wrote the Bill of Rights.

 

[Kyria the Great]

If not sucking the dick of corporations and the CCP had anything to do with keeping a profitable platform afloat, reddit would be in trouble.

FTFY.

 

[Czechem Republic]

To be clear, COVID misinformation IS a problem and NNN should've been banned for breaking Reddit's rules on brigading alone.

"Brigading" is such a fucking cop-out. It's an unfalsifiable offense committed the moment one links elsewhere on reddit, which up until the monkeys started running the zoo, was considered normal usage of the site.

Fuck jannies.

 

[Fart]

So... I'm still really unclear what the reasoning behind this protest and banning NoNewNormal was.

Wasn't it just idiots sharing bad information and memes with one another? Is stupidity against Reddit policies now?

People seem to also be defining it as "anti-vaccination" when I was under the impression it was mainly anti-lockdowns. A lot of people on reddit seem to think they were "deliberately misinforming" people - which is where I get lost. How is anyone able to determine that users on that sub were knowingly lying to one another?

Was there evidence behind any of this nonsense?

They didn’t need (or have) any evidence of “misinformation”. The only “anti-vaxxers” on NNN were skeptical of taking them before they were approved by the FDA. They dared not to tow the party line of “masks/lockdowns doubleplusgood” so jannies did what jannies do best: they started kicking and screaming and spreading harassment and lies about NNN members until the spineless admins finally caved.

Banning other antivax content is something I can understand from a mainstream platform.

Gotta heckin' suppress controversial ideas on my internet-erinos!

We wanted democracy, but not like this, not by them...

 

[IAmNotAlpharius]

You need to have that reddit tier 150iq to see the benefits of paying money for internet stickers to give people the ultimate dopamine rush for posting a concensus opinion.

Enjoy your Kiwi Gold. Spend it carefully.

 

[NOT THE BEEEEES!]

Imagine applying that logic to other things. Water isn't fit for human consumption because it's used to wash dishes and hydrate cattle.

All these people who are against drugs being prescribed for off-label use are going to back that up and oppose prostate cancer drugs being given to children as puberty blockers and hormone replacement meds being prescribed to troons for cross-sex hormone therapy, right?

I got banned from my country's sub for saying different vaccines would have different levels of efficacy on future variants
for saying that I was called an antivax conspiracy theorist spreading misinformation
that sure aged well but reddit jannies dont actually give a fuck about helping people avoid harm, it's just a tool they use to manipulate and smear you

That’s not even controversial? There’s a reason no one wants the johnson & johnson vaccine.

The easiest way to make people shit their pants is ask them if they'd rather take the AstraZenica vaccine or the Russian one or the Chinese one. Then ask why if they're equally effective.

A vaccine card doesn't mean shit if some eastern europoor can be just as 'vaccinated' as a first world citizen, despite having a vaccine made from cow piss and semen.

hey, bovine semen is extremely valuable in eastern european shitholes. They’d never waste it in a vaccine!

Jannies are getting out of hand, you send one of those locked subreddits one generic "You do it for free, janny" and they temporarily ban you, mute you, report you for promoting hate and then give your account a 3-day suspension. Mods can't take anything.

But what if you were simply applauding their hard work and dedication?

$10 bets that they want to get rid of subreddits for anti-science so they can finally make the arguement for getting rid of religious subreddits.

Remember that r/atheism used to be a default sub, the cringe runs deep.

In that case, they’d have to ban r/atheist, too.

WE DID IT REDDIT!

 

[Matt Damon]

"Brigading" is such a fucking cop-out. It's an unfalsifiable offense committed the moment one links elsewhere on reddit, which up until the monkeys started running the zoo, was considered normal usage of the site.

Being able to link across sub-reddits is the one thing that prevents them from being perfect echo chambers caused by the site's core design.

Clearly it has to be destroyed or precarious ideologies might start being challenged by the undesirables.

 

[George Lucas]

Can China be banned for brigading?

 

[Cilleystring]

Re brigading... So basically they're mad NoNewNormal did the exact same thing they've been doing to every space on the internet and IRL for any leftist talking point for the last 4 or 5 years?

 

[Trapped Under Rice]

Pre-emptive apologies for the unfocused post, but I have to eulogize my time spent on Reddit somewhere. I "discovered" Reddit around 2017, and was an active user for some time. I mostly frequented weird niche subs related to hobbies and interests of mine, which was a very positive experience, especially after leaving hellsites like twitter and facebook. I eventually branched out and began to view exceptionally retarded meme subs and all was good. But, unfortunately, you cannot be a casual Reddit user and not get targeted with completely pozzed leftist subreddit recommendations. All of a sudden r/antifa, r/toiletpaperusa and r/politcalhumor were all over the place (I still love tiny-faced Charlie Kirk memes). At first it was easy to dismiss the political slant because of what I assumed to be the demographics of the userbase (younger, college aged people --> more liberal). So I began to believe the curated atmosphere of reddit was a faithful representation of the politics of people in the millennial/zoomer age group. And, yes, as ashamed I am to admit it, if you're surrounded by that shit every time you pull out your phone, you might actually begin to believe there is a latent fascist uprising brewing in the US. Mind you, these were the heady days of the early Trump regime, and TDS was rampant. The shit that finally tore it for me was the unironic Stalinists, North Koreaboos and China apologists. The hypocrisy was put it stark relief when I saw subreddits that advocated the murder of police officers (which, then as now, fuck cops) flourish while people who said "faggot" were run off. I'm not really political, but the double standards and censorship were onerous and draconian.


It's good to see reddit has gone all-in on censorship, I really think we're approaching peak-woke. These platforms are too far gone to take a more even-handed approach, and their fragmentation is inevitable. Even zoomers I talk to ask shit like "since when is freedom from censorship a right-wing rally cry"?

It was quarantined and so literally couldn't link either. It's just because users see it in a screenshot and go and check it out.

Grasping what is happening here really requires a comprehensive understanding of the global world powers and interests at play. That being said, Reddit's involvement in censoring and propaganda can be quite easily summed up as it's run by delusional, disconnected people who mostly just take money from whoever wants to fund bots and propaganda networks. Chinese, pharmaceutical companies, etc. Pharmaceutical vaccine manufacturers have a vested interest in maintaining their multi-billion dollar govt contracts both here and internationally and this cannot be done if widespread data reaches the public that they are totally ineffective, as there will then be political pressure to search for different solutions than the vaccine ie over the counter medication and things like Ivermectin that your doctor can approve even if not necessarily prescribed.

I noticed the first major non-black worshipping post that hit the front page in nearly a year since the Floyd protests was a Chinese guy suckerpunching and beating some homeless black guy yelling retarded shit in Chinatown. It had like 100k updoots and all the usual suspects who'd be going on and on about nigger oppression - except now the Chinese guy was the hero and the black guy was the racist villain. Now, nobody gives a shit about nigger pandering anymore, not anymore than troon or other stupid shit. They ignore that most niggers aren't vaccinated and probably would have a harder time with papers than with voter ID, and ignore that by blocking them off from private businesses and govt institutions you are literally segregating them at hugely disproportionate levels.

They also ignore that PhDs and actual researchers with genuine experience are the most vaccine hesitant group by far. They ignore reality and data in favor of delusional fantasies and contradictory messaging. This is because they are fundamentally pushing and promoting (false) propaganda that they are paid to do, and not supporting genuine discussion or freedom of debate.

Apparently some of you infer meaning where I supply none. Yes, reddit does not do a good job whatsoever of applying its rules equally to all deserving communities, it will never be addressed.
No, I do not actually support banning antivaxxers, as retarded as some of their views are. By doing this, the dregs of society now have far more power than they deserve; now moderators AND admins can influence the "front page of the internet" to outrageous degrees, for relatively little effort. Time will tell how far they'll take it, but the precedent has been set.

TL;DR: banning antivax no good

Good, take away all their abortions - fuck their safe spaces - let them cope, seethe and dialate in another state.

 

[Full Race Replay]

Suddenly, literally all no new normal users realized that they were wrong and completely reversed their opinions on the occasion or their sub being banned.

[FatalTater]

Ideally now that NNN is banned the admins will turn their attention to all the troublemaking moderators.

Imagine the rending of garments and gnashing of teeth that would occur if, after such a glorious victory, they all got permabanned for their trouble.
