So, I've posted a comment about pizzagate on the trump sub. Interesting stuff happened; a comment of mine became invisible. I made a new comment in a post about Infowars being shadowbanned on the whole.
Now, I mentioned that a 'post' of mine became invisible, so people might have not picked up on that, so I made an edit; explaining that it was a - comment - that was shadowbanned. When I did this my explanatory comment was immediately deleted. Someone in the comments mentioned that they could use ceddit to view deleted posts, which I did, pretty cool.
About 5 minutes after that, the ceddit and reddit posts changed. The part about the shadowbanned comments, was cut (spezzed) out. Is this a new thing? Are they shadowbanning comments about pizzagate? Are they capping succesful/rising comments, supporting the investigation? To what extend are they doing this?
They could influence any discussion to change the outcome. This is insane. How long have they been doing that?
Thought you guys should know, prepare for massive migration.
If this is new to you and you believe me, please spread this information. Thanks.
Here the shit show of a thread I'm talking about. Remember to use Ceddit to view deleted comments, just replace the R in Reddit with a C in the url.

It looks like it's time for people to leave. Let their website go to hell. End Reddit

You know that Aaron Schwartz built this thing. This isn't a normal website. It's highly vulnerable to democratic unrest. If enough people are dissatisfied we could just bankrupt the company. It's totally within our hands, through sabotage. We could get spez and censorship removed no problem. This depends on the userbase, but I think the_donald would already be enough to make the site unusable. They'd lose clicks like crazy.
A part of me wants to see that. Democracy in action can be a beautiful thing. And I like the thought of Aaron's genius revealing itself to the current owners/abusers.
That would be great fun.
