r/RedditCensors: A popular mod activity lately appears to be banning anyone who questions people being loose with the "Nazi" accusation. Happening in different subs; I got banned for doing it on my own profile page.

The mentally ill part-time dog walkers strike again.

... That interview was seriously a huge mistake. Right afterward the community was full of sadness at the impending doom. (Keep in mind, there was a vote not to speak to the press.) Any way. The community has roots in deeply left, "literally" Anti-Work stance. I was a proponent of reminding members of this, and also a proponent of allowing for the expanding discourse. I think I have reaped what I've sown.

pretty sure at the start it was just a sub to post retarded bosses and let off steam. The "deeply left" types with takes like "all work is slavery" are what brought the sub to the cancer that it is now

1 u/HyperBaroque [OP] 20 Feb 2022 03:48

I really am pretty much over the sub and don't care what anyone thinks. What I've said about it, I was told by a mod so why would I disregard it for someone who doesn't even represent the sub? Go figure.

They’re always so surprised when they get eaten by their own kind and I’m just surprised they didn’t see it coming.

Who's "they"? Curious because I'm the one who got banned from r/antiwork for posting on my own profile.

The rabid leftist, authoritarian tyrants that banned you from /antiwork. AKA mods there. They have zero honesty, integrity or legitimacy. You just made an irrefutable point that they're butthurt about.

0 u/HyperBaroque [OP] 19 Feb 2022 06:22

The guy who commented on my profile post said it best. To paraphrase: where does this lead? To disagreeing with Nazis makes one a Nazi? Rabid leftists or not, somebody needs to rein in this "Nazi"-slurring.

Using the word "Nazi" loosely is downplaying the importance of Nazis and is even illegal in Germany (par. 130 StGB).

If I were legitimately a German citizen, yes, *I myself would* report them using that specific site-wide reporting category, and I guess watch that beloved sub crumble almost instantly? I have reasons not to, non-Germanity notwithstanding. Even if it is a significant part of my blood heritage.

If you don't call out everybody as a Nazi you must be a Nazi /s

1 u/HyperBaroque [OP] 20 Feb 2022 01:21

That's basically the logical end result if this goes unchecked. You saw what that other redditor commented, right? "Arguing with a Nazi means you're a Nazi?"

bro why are you thinking about nazi’s so much

0 u/HyperBaroque [OP] 20 Feb 2022 01:24

Have you ever heard of antisemitism? At any rate, this is a sub to talk about censorship: here is a trend of people getting censored for checking people who throw the "Nazo" accusation loosely. Counter-question, for you: why did you ask me that? Why are you trying to make it awkward?

1 u/TimeTraveler3056 22 Feb 2022 13:07

I dont believe the mods are human. Simple bots programmed to send the ban message when they see a certain word or term regardless of the context.

2 u/HyperBaroque [OP] 22 Feb 2022 14:17

Nah, that's not what's happening. They're rather selective in favor of people who share their political leanings.
