Edit: Oops, it is /r/Tennessee, not /r/ProgressiveHQ
Can’t except much better from a reddit mod team.
Fucking Reddit.
If I recall a similar thing happened to the San Antonio subreddit. Something like it was taken over during the mod revolt, and the new mods seem to have very specific interests.
We MUST Protect Jeffrey Epstein!
-Republicans!
We need to stop attacking pedophiles!
- Ted Cruz
This is why Reddit is garbage and anyone that still has an account on there is only fueling the fire. Fuck Reddit and their mods
Reddit’s glory days were when it was big enough to have consistently interesting stuff, especially in the niche subs, but not so big that bad actors (corporatization, foreign influence, domestic partisan bots, hate groups) could enshitify it. Now it’s practically unusable.
Ice soap and 2AM chili were peak reddit.
You think Lemmy is better? Mods here are engaging in the same shitty behaviours. Lack of moderator accountability is a serious issue on this platform.
Public mod log is a big accountability improvement over the absence of information Reddit has
Remember when the person behind GamingOnLinux decided to leave Lemmy after someone pointed out their community manipulation tactics in the modlog? Something that you have to assume they had been able to get away with as a Reddit mod. They then took to Mastodon or something to complain about how a public modlog is “bad design”.
Honestly yes, I have not had much problems with mods (and admins!) deleting the words I’ve taken time out of my day to write.
Free Luigi Mangione!
Modding attracts a certain type.
Exactly
I hope you realize Lemmy is just as bad, maybe even worse
Barely even trying to pretend to be honest
Tennessean here who tried to organize on my state/city subreddits. Can confirm this kind of partisan censorship is not new.
A while ago I made a innocuous enough post on my city’s sub about a “Release the Epstein Files” billboard that went up and was paid for by our local Mobilize chapter. Within an hour it was the most upvoted post of the past month. Within 2, it was removed without reason and I was blocked and banned permantly
That’s Reddit, I was banned from a Pokemon Go subreddit for being against Niantic forcibly leaving their sandbox environment on iOS.
Man, fuck reddit. If you aren’t a conservative anything can get you modded or banned.
Its fucking wild seeing people still talking about how biased reddit is against people on the right. Go onto any big subreddit and you’ll see their no politics rule means no left wing politics.
got to fan that flame as much as you can, the entire US right-wing identity is built around making “the left” suffer.
Same with Lemmy but in reverse…
They have been playing ads on TV consistently for them. Hers saying she wants to help try to keep health insurance available, not get premiums raised and help the people of Tennessee.
His saying she’s a radical that was opposed to ICE agents and trying to bully them by blocking them with her car.
His ads have nothing policy based ever said, because it sounds like none of his policies help the people. I guess he is pro tariffs or something, idk
I’m not surprised the amount of propaganda here in Tennessee about that race is staggering.
I’m not in that district… But we still have commercials, radio and television along billboards and small signs.
So much spin both sides.
What’s another child Fucker on reddit.
What does progressivehq have to do with the Tennessee subreddit?
Oops, you are 100% correct, I fixed the title.
Time to get in touch with Mr. Hoffstetter and point him and his millions of followers in this direction.
That’s why Reddit is the shit hole it is.
On one hand, I think this is why social media should be introduced to governments in an “official” capacity, kinda like how former Presidents and other officials would use twitter as a way to reach the masses about important news or whatever. There should be “official” accounts that are tied to certain positions that would be used to moderate different communities, such as city- or state-wide ones like r/Tennessee.
But then, there’s the whole deal of America very quickly spiraling into fascism.
This is where the fediverse could shine. For example, the House of Representatives could have a server, and each member would have a username on that server. Much like how email currently works. It wouldn’t be beholden to the whims of a corporation.
Exactly. Like a state-run online community moderated by federal or state workers. That way it would still be kept on-topic but (hopefully) without the power-tripping that usually happens with free-market moderators.
Ideally there’d be some kind of supervisor/admin above them that they’d report to.
But again, run by the state and not a company.
As a gay black man…
Does it have to be feta? What about BlueCheeseProto?
