This action was taken under an unannounced rule that can label and censor criticism of anyone or anything with “FUD.”
You’ll find it’s only used to protect the rich and powerful, though.
Unable to simply delete the post, the moderators scrubbed comments from anyone who named and shamed CEO James Dolan, but allowed his supporters to remain uncensored.
Criticism of basically anyone rich or powerful was removed.
Criticism of Tucker Carlson was removed.
I meant they can’t differentiate between them because there’s too many reports to go through probably. Reddit relies on volunteers because it can’t afford to employ enough people to moderate it for real.
If the moderators aren’t capable of handling this amount of work, they should divest themselves from the communities they volunteered for. Especially if their leisure time on Reddit is spent losing arguments to other people on subreddits they run.
Is this sarcasm?
Reality can be funny and sad at the same time.
I can see modding Lemmy and mastodon for free bc they can’t afford it. Spez should make avocado toast and coffee at home to pay mods.
