The only thing missing is when they say “well akshually if she’s 12 that doesn’t make you a pedophile, the akshual name is”. Fuck off with that.

Another day on Reddit. A guy started posting on r/food pictures of Korean BBQ with his beagle in the background, gets banned because mods thought the dog was shopped/it's racist to included dogs and Korean BBQ, despite the guy being Korean. So he moves to other subreddits, where he also gets banned for petty reasons. One subreddit adds a rule that there be no "background beagles" in any photos (a cat would be fine however).

I don't get it. What's wrong with beagles specifically?

the chinese eat dogs
that is a bad look
therefor, saying or implying that the chinese eat dogs is racist and bigoted and must be forbidden
from there, it then follows that posting anything related to dogs in any thread that is related to anything asian is actually just thinly veiled anti asian racism

that's the midset reddit jannies are on

It's more likely because posting kids/dogs/women in photos is seen as attention whoring. They take reddit really seriously and think people will farm karma by putting non-food things in their food photos to game reddit's culture.

Which is true, people do that all the time, but also who fucking cares.

The annoying part about reddit is that I simply cannot look away. It's just dogshit tier opinions and the same npc interactions all the way down but watching the average spergout or someone hastily edit their opinion to the other side because they're getting downdoots will never get old. I hate how for actually collaberating information about X thing you enjoy, it's pretty good for that but the dogshit tier opinions will always seep through.

Some of the news subreddits are hilarious if you actually know anything about the issue with context because it's pretty much 100% fabricated news played for updoots, the same fucking jokes and delusional ramblings.

I for one cannot wait for Reddit to finally go public and just completely collapse. It's been coming for a while and life would be fantistic if Twitter, Facebook and Reddit just nosedive straight into the ground and explode into a billion pieces.

The best is reading Reddit’s comments on taxes when you yourself are a tax accountant.

No firefly-0006, that doesn't make way more sense. It does not at all.

A couple days ago the big mall shooty in Indiana. There was a post at the top of r/news blowing up while it was still going on. Didn't bother reading the comments because it'd be the same boring circle jerk. Then the news came out it was stopped by a "good guy with a gun". So the next day thought I'd see how redditors found a way to frame him as the bad guy or whatever. And the thread had disappeared! 6500 comments and it was locked and deleted (hidden from results, you can still see it with a direct link: https://www.reddit.com/r/news/comments/w1jrf2/active_shooter_reported_at_greenwood_park_mall_in/).

There were a few other posts about the shooting that were also manually removed by mods, even one that had hundreds of comments (666 to be exact \m/), the reason given it was already posted or supposed issue with the source.

But why was the original big thread with thousands of comments deleted? It's officially labeled "Questionable Source" but the information has long since been corroborated. People were repeatedly posting police scanner information while the situation was still active, which mods think will endanger people on the scene. But the thread wasn't deleted until much later, the next morning. The obvious answer is that the good guy with the gun goes against the anti-gun narrative, but again it was left up until the next day and then a new post completely focused on that aspect of the story became one of the most popular.

I thought it was weird there wasn't a mod sticky explaining the lock on such a popular post, even a generic "ya'll can't behave". Or that no one in the new thread seemed to be asking what happened to the old one, or any posts on subredditdrama alluding to well, drama or anything. After so many comments, what finally tipped things over the edge to get it shut down?

On a side note, r/news took a turn a few months ago when they started requiring a verified email to post. They had an announcement about it but it didn't state it in the title (just "updates to rules" or something like that) and I don't think most people bother reading the sidebar, especially if they're already active in the sub. The thing is people without verified emails aren't completely prevented from posting and apparently can see their own comments--They don't get any notice when they submit a comment that it'll be invisible to everyone else. I learned about it because there's occasionally confused people on the "am i shadowbanned" sub asking about it. It answered a question I'd had for a while, why there are significantly fewer comments now. It makes me wonder how many people there are continuing to argue into the void, oblivious that no one can see their posts.

It's really unbelievable how gullible environmental doomers are. They're fed a different lie every generation but nobody notices.

I've seen people deny the 1970s-80s "imminent ice age" scam despite showing sources from the same climatological institutes they trust about the 90s-00s "imminent global warming" scam. In the 2010s they changed their wording to "Climate Change" and some will even deny that anyone claimed the globe should be warming, when you show that it generally isn't doing that.

Some form of climate change is probably currently happening, but discussion about it has been completely hijacked and the whole thing has been blown out of proportion to serve political and economic interests. It's become a thinly veiled imtimidation tactic used by the left, and an equally thinly veiled marketing ploy for those who decide to make bank on would-be "sustainable" alternatives.

Ah, that makes a lot more sense

No, it fucking doesn't, you queer piece of shit! Nigger is 52, pretending to be a pre-teen! The only scenario this would make sense in is as evidence against that pedo troon in his inevitable sexual assault trial.

Honestly the concept of a shadow ban is actually pretty evil when you think about it. I understand it being a good net for making sure bots never post but imagine being someone not 100% clued in on shadowbans spending time on a reply that will never be seen by anyone? Imagine wondering why nobody ever responds to your posts or why your posts never leave the mod queue.

The weird thing is that it's up to automation whether or not your new account gets the shadowban flag (hint: all new accounts created via TOR get it) and once you get it it's actually hard to know if you're shadowbanned without actively looking for it (looking for your profile in another browser while not logged in.

it gets even more insidious when the site runs bots that post fake replies to posts from shadowbanned users which are invisible to everybody except the shadowbanned user himself, with fake up/down votes as well

i dont know if it was reddit but i remember reading about some site experimenting with this approach a while ago

Wow I see absolutely zero possiblities of this going wrong with AI generated comments enabling schizos into more and more extreme behaviour culminating in a blowout. At least the paper trail back to reddit will be obscured, unlike that britbong who got suspended and immediately killed his family with a shotgun.

It was called heaven banning. The article was fake, but the technology is now available to do it

Yeahhh there have been some people in really questionable mental states on /r/news and /r/collapse lately going on about the imminent Christofascist takeover of America.

Not sure creating a reinforcement loop with fake upvotes and AI replies would go well.

Doesn’t do anything to stop bots anymore. They just load their new comment while logged out and if they can’t find it they assume they are shadowbanned and make a new account.

Technically correct and r/openchristianity is a complete fucking meme:
View attachment 3499595
as always this picture is relevant when discussing progressive christianity, the waiting room for atheists.

Progressive Christianity is mostly agnostics/atheists LARPing anyway (for whatever subversive reasons/parental issues), so it's not really a waiting room. I remember a top post on r/openchristianity arguing for Marcionism (as if it was a novel concept). The Bible-s aren't infallible though, and Christianity is a false religion.
