I'm genuinely curious what the senior Reddit Jannies will do here. One on hand they can't ban NNN without making up some bullshit like brigading, which is the reason it's already quarantined, on the other and they can't allow the rogue jannies to keep sperging out and locking subreddits until one side caves in.

They really dug themselves a hole here allowing power jannies free reign as if that would never backfire.

Gritty

Gritty is a mascot for the National Hockey League's Philadelphia Flyers. After debuting in September of 2018, online reactions centered on the creepiness of the character, as well as its gaffe-filled debut at a Flyers game.

I love this so much as I hate everyone involved. Admin, jannies and users!

The size and scope of their ego and fantasy they have real power is astounding. We should airdrop them into Kabul so they can personally permaban every Taliban fighter from the top 100 subreddits.

Didn't Fauci end up being kinda shit in the end after being hailed as le ebic leddit saviour who was singlehandedly fixing the virus from Drumpf?

One of the reasons why I don't think leddit wants to touch misinformation is that while a lot of it clearly is misinformation, it isn't peer reviewed scientifically inaccurate so if someone makes a bizarre claim that ends up being TRUE then how do you justify censoring it? I mean I remember that stupid Hydrofloxide or whatever the fuck it was drug being treated in the same way as this horse drug at the time only for it to end up kinda working.

Well, this is kinda my point. What counts as misinformation is always shifting, and some of what people undoubtedly are calling misinformation today may not be misinformation tomorrow. See the lab leak hypothesis for example.

This means that misinformation rules would basically in practice be a way to enforce whatever good progressives think that you're supposed to believe regarding COVID at any given point in time. And that any systematic deviations from this that put people at risk (or can be superficially construed as racism/sexism/etc.) should be actioned.

We've already seen Twitter/FB get into the "regulating misinformation" business a bit, but Reddit has a different toolset that just makes this less likely to work, probably. Reddit's main tool is to ban entire communities, and banning a community because less than 5% of its content is rule-violating is always going to be messy when no one actually knows where the line is drawn between acceptable and unacceptable vaccine skepticism. I don't think Reddit really has the tools to ban /r/NoNewNormal without essentially having to ban all subs that tolerate skepticism, and the likely "blast radius" of such an action is unacceptable. It's possible that /r/NoNewNormal gets tossed and people stop paying attention to the conversation just moving elsewhere, but the pro-censorship groups on Reddit are zealous enough that they would probably not let this happen.
 
i would've polished this more but i had to make it with my left hand because of wasp stings lmao

lmao they banned the biggest american right wing subreddit (trump's), so they are obviously not worried too much about blast radius, as long as it is expedient.

Now for something completely different:

Can't wait until all our online identities are connected and this leads to being refused banking services instead.

Jannies are less then subhuman. Of course I'm racist and classist to jannies. Aren't we all?

Aren't jannies basically a kind of law enforcement at this point with all the glowie shit they do? Why is it not cool for strong rebellious gash wounds to hate jannies as much as the Police?
Click to expand...
Because they don’t really hate the concept of law enforcement, they just hate the fact that they’re expected to obey everyone else’s rules. As long as the strong rebellious gash wounds are the ones making the rules and enforcing them, then they’re okay with it.

Pretty sure this is the actual reason that Spez guy didn't want to do the purge. An offsite is one thing, an offsite following a purge is another, it'd become it's own thing and that would mean no more ability for tranny abominations to be able to censor people/change the conversation of the group at will.

yeah, the purged ones might go to thedonald / communities. win
 
Tbh le_drumpf was already dead long before it was banned, everyone had move to the .win site and was basically using T_D as an advertisement venue (kinda like how r/drama only really exists nowadays to promote rdrama the website)

I REALLY want to see Spez swing his dick and see what happens. If he straight up banned Startrek then the entire brigade will stop overnight.

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.
 
LMAO, i saw this shit going on. i was actually kind of shocked that Spez didn't cuck out and ban the sub, all while telling the jannies to shut the fuck up.

anyways, Nate is a massive faggot

Hmmm... small but powerful clique...

Is this possibly, a small, rootless international clique?
