LOL Really?? I haven’t been on Reddit in a while but that’s just hilarious if true.
it’s taken me a while to finally catch on to it, but I asked several mods in different subs and this is what they told me.
what I couldn’t get a clear answer on is why. one said it’s triggered by a negative karma score on that sub, but others denied that. all I could figure out was that it almost always happens when I use profanity or make jokes about suicide. I’ve seen it happen to other people though but not for either of those two behaviors
I know that the Firefox subreddit was doing this a couple of years ago. Although I half suspect that they were using swear words as an excuse to remove any criticism of Firefox. And after multiple run ins with them and messaging them to ask why my comment was removed (no swearing isn’t actually a listed rule in the sidebar), I’m pretty sure they just started doing it for shits and giggles too.
The last straw for me was when someone mentioned an old app and I said “holy crap, I remember that app!” Checked a couple minutes later in reveddit (which had become a habit when posting in Firefox) and sure enough, my comment was removed. That was the last time I ever went near that sub.
You’d be surprised how much free time and headspace people are willing to dedicate to the benefit of corporations in the name of defending their special interests.
I don’t think you can get enough volunteer moderators for this…
Fr and same
sound?
nice.
When you’re a mod and let others do this to you, you deserve it.
