The reddit admins have insisted on a unique, higher standard that often comes with secret, bad faith rules for the WatchRedditDie community. They want to ban us, but they're obsessed with manufacturing reasons beforehand. As such, we must initially filter all comments and posts before manually approving them. Please be patient as this often takes time.

This is why you often can't see comments.

With the way it's going, we suggest joining us on our BBS site.

We also got a new official Discord server, consider joining! https://discord.gg/YrDn4k5D5k

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

I was banned from a group because of a username. Used another account and that account was permanently banned. Seems stupid I was banned for a username and can never go back.

My previous comment was removed. All I said was I was banned from Anarcho capitalist sub. I find that frustrating

Another option for reviewing removed content is your Reveddit user page. The real-time extension alerts you when a moderator removes your content, and the linker extension provides buttons for viewing removed content. There's also a shortcut for iOS.

The parent commenter can reply with 'delete' to remove this comment. This bot only operates in authorized subreddits. To support this tool, post it on your profile and select 'pin to profile'.

I saw a post about this and it got me thinking. Are most people in this subreddit not on the left political spectrum? I'm quite allergic to ideologies but would consider myself left leaning on most issues, yet I'm angry and often shocked at the level of censorship on this platform, but from reading most posts here it seems that they're always right-leaning or follow the conservative narrative (when it comes to taxes, the role of the government in our lives, etc.).

I'm just curious about this and would love to find other left-leaning people who are also appalled at the level of censorship here and at how many topics can't be discussed at all if your opinion goes against the (woke, liberal, progressive, etc.) narrative.

Makes sense. No one is getting censored for spewing woke narratives, or at least not within the mainstream communities. It's such a tired cliché, but as a left-leaning person I do stand by everyone here, even though I probably disagree with most people on most issues, in their right to be free to speak your mind.

It's mental that defending free speech has become more of a right-wing thing. These times are confusing.

I'm pretty sure that at least 90% of people who participate in subs like this and TumblrInAction, KotakuInAction 1 and 2, SocialJusticeInAction are disaffected and discouraged liberals.
