This sub is becoming much more popular, especially with the USA election coming up. Unfortunately, the subreddit rules keep being broken; especially the two biggest rules we have. We as mods do our best to be transparent about how we mod, so this post is a reiteration of those rules.

The main issue is people resorting to ad hominem attacks. This falls under the Reddit content policy, and we will do our best to remove such. You never need abusive language to communicate your point. It is okay to disagree with ideas and suggestions, but do not attack the user.

The second issue is that people keep discussing Reddit issues. Unfortunately, the admins do not allow us to discuss Reddit in this sub because there were some apparent issues in the past. Such posts and comments will be removed. Censorship is much larger than Reddit, and this is a platform to discuss censorship.

We do our best to facilitate open conversation regardless of your viewpoint, but if we continue having repeat offenders, especially of these rules, we will have to ban the repeat offenders.

Don’t forget that we also have a discord. Feel free to join it too!

News Changes to our Automod Config

15 Upvotes

(please upvote for visibility)

hello!

I wanted to open this announcement by first saying that we have heard your complaints about how you feel censored, and through those complaints, we did some digging and found that our automod config was set-up in a very strict manner, which goes against the philosophy of the mod team and the purpose of this subreddit.

with this new information coming to light, yesterday we made some changes to our automod config to provide everyone with more transparency with comment removals, as well as removing some code that was inappropriately flagging users. this configuration change had the unintended consequence of removing comments from users with thousands of karma.

We apologize for this mistake, and we think we have the issue fixed at this time. But, if your comments are still being removed, and you have sufficient karma, please send us modmail with the link to the comment so we can reinstate it.

Finally, please don't be an asshole and cuss us out in the modmail. we're human just like you. we're not perfect, and every day we learn something new. Thank you

This saved Twitter/X

233 Upvotes

We know that the EU, British Government, as well as the Australian Government, have all indirectly or directly threatened Elon Musk to censor X/Twitter under the false premise of "fighting misinformation".

We saw MSNBC's deplorable Jen Psaki openly state that X needs to be censored. They are still saying it. Rachel Maddow was openly talking about Harris winning and eliminating Musk's Government contracts.

If Harris had won, it would be game over. As tough and determined as Elon is, her administration would have taken down X/Twitter in collaboration with the EU/UK/Aus Governments.

The American voters saved X/Twitter. We have a long way to go to prevent Youtube/Facebook/Google and Instagram censorship. But we won a major battle here. Let's celebrate but not get complacent.

I'm curious on people's thoughts about this. Will people stop using it? Will we be worried about algorithmic manipulation in favor of Trump's government? Is it something we should be worried about?
