> You could end up with an atheist running a religious sub so to speak Didn't exactly that happen in one of the major Christian subs? r.Christianity, IIRC. I also recall that r.Conservative had a few admin-friendly liberals inserted into its mod team that way.

>Why is it mostly Democrats? Your conservatism is showing. Put Trump Ron and Johnson on here and this would be a little bit more accurate While I don't think you should have been banned for that, saying something like that_is_ pretty rich considering that the Democrats are the ones in charge right now, and that the Democrats have been in power for longer during the past twenty years. Imagine a meme like this in 2004, except with only two or three Democrats and six Republicans (Condoleeza Rice, Dick Cheney, Rumsfeld, John McCain, G.H.W. Bush and of course Dubya). Now imagine some guy on a Libertarian forum piping up with "nonono, your liberal bias is showing!". Of course he'd come across as a bad faith actor.

Surely you mean "people who prey on 13-16 year old children".

Not gonna lie - this is one of the purest examples of Reddit bullshit I've seen in a long time. That wasn't even remotely objectionable in any way. The question is perfectly valid, and it doesn't even touch on any no-no subjects or buzzwords. Frex, the post itself is from a woman, even. It's not even a self-identified incel or MRA talking about this - and it still would have been a valid question regardless of who brings it up - it's just a topic and an individual with no suspicious connections at all.

Posts being censored for bullshit reasons at nextfuckinglevel? Ha, big surprise there. That's g\*ll\*wb\**b's main sub. That fucker will even hide or delete rule-abiding threads just to draw more traffic to his own posts. Of course posts that don't fit the narrative are going to disappear over there.

I've seen this sort of thing happen several times. Being unmoderated is considered a valid reason to ban a sub. And in the past, when the rules for banning subs were much more stringent, crooked admins did pull the trick where they banned a sub's mods first, and then the sub itself for being unmoderated. But I've also seen a case where the admins banned a sub that really was unmoderated (ActuallyXXChromosomes or something; I can't remember the exact name). Then the sub's userbase created a new sub that _was_ properly moderated, and... the admins banned it for 'ban evasion'. This is one of those cases where you really can't tell whether it's stupidity or malice. But reddit is a pretty big site, and there's multiple admins, so it's pretty plausible that some random admin saw the new sub and though "Oh hey, duplicate of a banned sub. OK, banned it. Next...".

Being naíve enough to be unable to comprehend dishonesty, deceit, corruption and scamming is already inexcusable enough. Browbeating others for saying that dishonesty exists and that people are getting screwed over isn't just wrong - it makes you complicit. It's thanks to people like you that people like Jimmy Savile and Jeffrey Epstein could do as they please.

I can still see your posts. But all the default subs probably use the same shadowban list anyway.
