Comment on: Is Reddit censoring comments relating to Tencent? Strange r/wholesomememes post where all comments not mentioning "Tencent 腾讯" were deleted automatically, then comments about Tencent were manually removed
I don't often browse these censorship subreddits but a lot of examples I see can be explained by moderators being left wing or just having different opinions - that doesn't, in many cases, justify censorship, but I don't think it's always some huge conspiracy or something.
In this case, why would "Tencent" be censored over a difference in opinion? Surely someone's got a horse in the race for that to happen, and considering we know Tencent invests in Reddit, it hints at a possible conspiracy. There are other possible explanations (mod gone rogue etc) but that's why I found this example interesting. If you don't, that's fine, but I don't see how this video wasn't relevant to what gets discussed on this subreddit.

Thank you!
I've heard of so many people in your situation, reasons for bans seem to be very inconsistent and subjective. I hope it's a problem that gets resolved eventually but I won't hold my breath

I think it's less the subreddit's core values and more how that plays out in practice, at least with some users

Fair enough. There are alternatives cropping up that are less censored but none are even close to Reddit in terms of popularity, maybe one day though.

I agree that there are big problems with Reddit, but out of curiosity - if you really think it's that bad, why do you still use it?

Subreddits discussed: r/darknetmarkets, r/mensrights, r/sanctionedsuicide
Do you think Reddit were justified in banning r/darknetmarkets and r/sanctionedsuicide?
Do you think r/mensrights will be next?

Thanks for the feedback!
The music's already at 1%, I think the problem is me not being loud enough. Other people have pointed that out too so I'm just gonna have the mic right in front of me in the next one, hopefully that'll solve it.

Yeah, it's all very selective.
That's really interesting and it somehow never crossed my mind... I eagerly await that day lol.
There are some mods whose names are known publicly, for example Gallowboob has done interviews and used his real name. But yeah, most are anonymous.

Thank you! I have had a look through some of the posts on here, will continue to do so and also check out r/subredditcancer, thanks for that suggestion.
It could be a couple of weeks till the video is out, might even end up being in 2 parts as there's a lot to cover aha. But I'll be sure to post it here when I'm done :)
