You have the most votes, but RES is telling me that your comment is being forcefully held to not be at the top of the page.

I doubt it's going to get better, reddit admins seem to want the most popular subs to be echo chambers for their preferred narrative.

Yeah - we just need to keep calling it out IMO. People will find the truth, we just have to present it to them. Unfortunately, the second a sub like this one gets popular enough, they will shut it down too. Parler has shown that you don't get to "make your own" either - they will chase you away, and they're not done yet.

Yeah I've noticed that there seems to be a concentrated effort to mischaracterize all of these subs designed to expose censorship and terrible moderation as far right / white supremacist subs. It's pathetic how desperate some people are to control the narrative.

The fact that shadow-deleting comments is the go-to by default also sucks really hard. Most casual users on the site probably aren't even aware that nobody hears their dissent. I can always tell when my comments are deleted on r/Politics because my downvotes will freeze 😑
