Comment on: /r/politics is actively blocking any mention of Jussie Smollett despite the myriad posts that were suspiciously welcomed with open arms when they thought it was an actual hate crime. Completely unbiased subreddit though. For sure.
> The bullshit part is that it was allowed back onto "popular".
This totally wasn't because there was an upcoming midterms or anything, ^^^^/s but I forget what spez claimed was the exact reason.

Actually, to prevent being rate-limited, you'll need to earn that karma in the sub you want to post in.
Once you realize there is no spoon, a ten minute time-out really isn't that restrictive. It only becomes so when you're posting on a hot recent topic with lots of eyeballs. "Wrongthink" there and you'll get the normal groupthink talking point responses from multiple ~~people~~ usernames at the same time.

Comment on: The curious Case of /r/food
Ah, I had a comment on that post silently *"shadow removed"* for some reason.
Made no sense at all except I know they have a few power-happy mods on their mod team. Reddit is really starting to suck, even more than the fucking Pao era. Even more than during Spezgiving.
For those who care, here is my silently removed comment, verbatim:
>The orange outside is "flying fish roe", which is essentially caviar made out of fish eggs.

Here's my favorite quote from u/Spez:
>*"Our position is still that shadowbanning shouldn't be used on real users. It's useful for spammers, but that's about it. "*
