Jesus christ, this entire thing could be avoided if people realised that reddit itself is not some higher form of authority,

I get that spreading vaccine misinformation is wrong but let's be fair, if you're actively going to somewhere like reddit to look up the idea that the vaccine isn't going to work you've already made up your mind. I reckon it's a pretty fair guess to say that sub is an echo chamber.

Just like the rest of reddit.

I agree but the thing is reddit chose to brand itself as the frontpage of the internet and it's users fully believe in that. A great majority of it's population are authoritarian left to it's core and it's mods are sociopaths who get an emotional high whenever they flex there power.

I at first thought the term Janny was related to the term Janissary. Basically a bunch of old virgins enslaved as kids who became puffed up on their own importance and rebelled against any attempts to curb or change them. People who may have been useful at one point in history, but over time, just became a bunch of insufferable cunts.

I think eunuch is more fitting in this case.

I keep hoping reddit's hot page will stop featuring so many covid related posts, but I guess that's a pipe dream. Lately there seems to be an uptick in posts about people who were anti-masks and anti-vaccine dying of covid. It's annoying (and concerning) to see so many redditors gleefully comment about how some type of divine karma has been served and these people deserve to die because they were against masks and getting the jab.

But mostly, it's annoying to see them act all smug, as if this somehow proves that masks and vaccines work. There is no way to know if these people would have lived had they worn masks and/or taken the vaccine. Further, they appear to be ignoring all the cases where people died despite wearing masks and taking the vaccine.

I think for a lot of people, the crossover between "people getting their faces mauled by a leopard" and "these people are stereotypical le conservatard" has motivated a lot of people to surrender the empathy they so decry. It's starting to get a bit sickening to see this as a meme, because empathy is the one thing they triumph having. I guess we're not different.

I for one don't care if these people die on benders of horse paste. It's a different dynamic when kids are involved, but i'm not losing sleep over these people. People are tired of those not getting on the bandwagon, but have some mercy. Families are being split apart because of this. My heart aches for those who must endure this pain.

Devil's advocate, these numbers are (currently) in the resounding minority.

Back to radical centrist: They would never get sick because they never leave their roomie's apartment.

Branch Covidian redditors are sociopathic cultists, but we can take solace in the knowledge these terminally online doomers are like that about everything and do not represent the whole population.

Reddit has always leaned authoritarian left anyway.

@Dagobert If you sign up to any website using Google+, Twitter, Facebook, so on, all associated accounts are cross-referenced. Furthermore it cross-referenced to your private contacts list, as in Reddit could see Gmail contacts if you used Google login, and can even see your phone contacts if that Gmail account is the same one connected to your phone. This sounds like what may have happened.

Everyone should always do a regular email sign-up and avoid doing the lazy one-click sign-up, because it will turn a small ban on a single site, to a ban on all sites associated with the email.

I have 30ish Gmail accounts and I'd argue that everyone should have one. Not to do any sort of communication or account management with, but because you get 15GB of free cloud storage with each one and it feels good to abuse their diskspace.

Not contempt with Jannies getting them kicked off, they're now doing their job. The absolute fucking state of redditors,

I may be autistic, but I thought someone in this thread was the one who made NOM? I'm driving right now so I can't scroll through the thread, but I swear I remember someone being like "What if we made a subreddit called 'PedophileInRemission'(not what they said, but something similar) and posted the going dark message?" and then a few posts later someone was like "Speak of the devil". I was operating under the assumption that a Kiwi made the board.

Unfortunately you need a phone number for each one and if you sign in with a different IP it could get the account to require 2FA which, if it’s a burner phone, will effectively lock the account. I wish there was a mainstream accepted email provider that didn’t require a phone number

You don't need to use a phone number if you create the account through an Android tablet device interface. You can make the account, then just delete the account from the device and continue to make more indefinitely. The emails continue to exist for you to then use with your PC/phone/whatever. All you need to remember to do to keep your free GDrive storage is sign into the account once every 6 months or so.

I'm continually surprised admins let /r/Catholicism live without touching it.

It's been full of unapologetic fascists for years. Not like "everyone conservative is fascist #resistance" but like...literal fascists who hold out hopes for Franco's ghost coming back.

You don't seem to realize, what's old is new again.

Spicy times ahead of us, fren.

One thing that I don't get is why have reddit admins picked now of all times to grow a spine and defy the mods? From what I understand reddit admins have usually gave in at every opportunity and given the mods whatever they want, and have had little-to-no issue banning wrongthink subs left and right the last few years. It seems like normally they would have banned it and be done with it.

Reddit is (supposedly, foolishly) planning an IPO pretty soon, and having your website usurped by a cabal of jannies on NGO and corpo payrolls to ban subreddits they dislike for political reasons negatively impacts your company's valuation.
Banning wrongthink on your own terms is one thing, having it dictated to you by your users implies your site is a bad investment because a bunch of tranny jannies can throw it into disarray at whim.

EDIT: This take certainly aged well, lol
