Got a notification my post was removed by mods for having nothing to do with Louisiana, and suddenly can’t post to any subreddits. Why have an international news flair option on r/Louisiana then get so pissy when someone uses it?

    It’s systematic censorship of anyone that isn’t far right. I’ve had dozens if not hundreds of accounts silenced by attrition.

    It used to be a thing on reddit to use alt accounts. So it was normal to have many accounts for anything and everything. Starting around 2016 when all this stupid shit start happening is when my accounts started dropped like flies.

    Just this week another one was site wide banned because I remark on a post about Trumps physical report saying he could die and Republicans would claim he’s in perfect health. Banned for inciting violence.

    What the right has been doing is systematically biasing the moderation on social platforms. So that anyone that mentions so much as a word relating to violence (such as war or someones personal health status) can plausibly be linked to a negative connoation. Thereby they can argue it break some rule.

      I’m sorry, but… why would anyone possibly need more than one acct or two to post within the rules framework of Reddit, or really, any other site?

      “Spam,” or deliberate, repeated rule-breaking intent are the two answers that immediately come to mind.

        Honestly their alts might be getting banned for ban evasion. Having alts isn’t against the rules but using them to circumvent bans is. I could see having an alt for nsfw stuff and maybe another if you represent a company officially, but otherwise I don’t see why you would need more other than something malicious.

        In accordance with the Bell-LaPadula model, a significant number of accounts are required to satisfy the security constraints of using reddit. Such a distributed system and lattice model allows for excellent roleplay opportunities.

          Sure, if you’re there to stir-some-shit.

          In which case-- proceed uponst thine own risk?

    Reddit CEO u/spez Huffman never shook his compromised past as r/Jailbait mod. If there’s leverage for the regime to pressure Reddit’s compliance with favorable content policy, I think it’s connected to that.

    It’s also not a very far stretch to suppose that Ghislaine Maxwell’s suspected account u/MaxwellHill, which was a resourceful driver of userbase and content development, connects Huffman to Jeffrey Epstein’s suppressed guest lists.

    You will never see an explicit announcement from a social media platform “so hay guise we’re not allowed to criticize the regime, thanks for your cooperation”. There won’t be policy transparency.

    Reddit bans people for anything. That site doesn’t make sense anymore. It’s as bad a facebook and twitter.

      I mean, just surprising to have one post removed from a state subreddit for being off topic then result in a total ban? Wtf is that?

      Louisiana is full of mainly conservative leaning individuals who usually just don’t vote until they get angry enough/fed up with corruption.

      Idk if you’ve heard of Bobby Jindal? But he was a Republican Governor corrupt enough to get the state to vote for a Democrat for the next 8 years. That’s part of why we’re one of the few red states with a Medicaid expansion.

      We’re the second most dependent state in the country on Medicaid, and the House Speaker, Mike Johnson of Louisiana, was encouraging cuts to Medicaid in order to pay for a tax cut to the wealthy.

      Right now people are very pissed. They need to be kept informed of what’s actually going on so they stay pissed and keep putting pressure on these people.

        you’re right. I really didn’t have any business weighing in, my frame of reference is places where even cannabis farmers and gays will vote for trump. Louisiana’s situation sounds unique and maybe they would change. I’ve never encountered anyone like that.

    And now you come here to continue spamming? Relax mate. Not that many people are interested in US politics.
