Reddit must be feeling pretty confident about their market position to suspend so many people over something so small. I got banned because I followed the voat link, didn't vote but made three comments.
They really need to just get some balls and programmatically stop participation in threads they decide to hide. It's complete bullshit offering a website with discussion forums, tracking referrer tags but allowing the behavior and banning after the fact.
They want to be a heavy handed censor, do it in the open and watch people leave.
Reading that thread was my REAL eye-opener. I've been ignoring pizzagate for a long time for compicated reasons but when Comet Pizza appeared on national television in Belgium (under the banner of "vals nieuws" (false nieuws)) I took a closer look.
My stomach turned, there are WAY too many coincidences and they are too damn explicit.
Without realising I was on an "np" thread I voted away and got this message later on.
Usually I notice I'm on np but for some reason I didn't. They might claim I was and I wasn't really.
I was banned for bringing up the David Duke and Alex Jones video. Got a moderator message asking me if I disavow the KKK. I said of course I do. But what does that have to do with this one person? Sweet fuck all. Nothing but silence. Done with Reddit.
You should realize that the reason people were suspended is because Reddit has things implemented to detect "downvote / upvote manipulation" - meaning: if a large amount of people access a post by following a link posted elsewhere, and then that post suddenly has a huge influx of upvotes / downvotes - it flags the system of that. basically to prevent voting abuse.
the people suspended went to the post via the link posted here, and proceeded to downvote which flagged the system.
I'm not saying that there hasn't been a shit ton of censoring going on - there certainly is.
but this specific instance has a legitimate explanation.
Wow. This is unprecedented. Peggit administrators using their platform to push an agenda and silence dissenters. This is a tragedy. Well, gosh, only yesterday peggit was a bastion of freedom and speech. How could this have happened? Historians will study this situation and conclude that earth was mostly populated by complete morons from 1910 onward.
We REALLY are just monkeys with cars and computers and internet. Really. too short sighted to plan meaningfully down the road (collectively), reactive and emotional. We are collectively behaving like the animals we tell ourselves we aren't.
Wasn't the CEO of Reddit caught vamping on the cannibal sub. And he allows a pedo sub to post freely. Who knows how many kids are tourtured because of him.
Hes made sly comments about eating people. Fuckin weirdo. I am so convinced this whole ring deal is mutually assured destruction for people in power positions. Either these types are sought out, or these megalomanical types seek out power positions (both likely in combination imo)
It's like this motherfucker grew up without the internet, and is now faced with autists that were born here. His computer science-class only taught him so much.
You can't have threads about Pizzagate discussing this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_grooming in the presence of the Reddit logo while Spez is around, it'll cause too much paranoia.

Me too. "Vote manipulation?" And yet the CTR actual bots are still out in full force.

Very apt analogy. Concise as fuck.
