I made fun of an automoderator’s banned word.
The word was “Cult”.

Mod message is Mexican slang for “Go fuck yourself elsewhere” or “Go fuck your mother”.

Libs/Feds mods in my reddit leftist subreddit? Color me surprised.

    this fuckin “anti-ableism” stuff is killing me.

    I was in a fucking cult and i have psychosis and censoring the word does nothing to help me.

      I 100% believe banning users for utilizing black-listed words is just an excuse to ban real MLs in “leftist” subs.

      I didn’t even use the word itself I just called the automod a lib in response to another user lmao

    Numerous MLs here, myself included, have reported being banned from SLS for wholly spurious reasons and being insulted when trying to appeal the ban. SLS is compromised.

    My “ban reason” was just as ridiculous as yours.

      I got banned because there was a post about pitbulls where I commented that the reason they’re dangerous dogs is because humans fucked with their genes to make them dangerous and that it’s ultimately not their fault that they snap or that they get treated like shit, and a mod accused me of “advocating eugenics” or “race science”.

      When I argued back that dog breeds are not analogous to human race, and that it’s the notion that dog breeds and human “races” are analogous that actually is racist, the mod doubled down on their bullshit.

    • If you try viewing subreddits or profiles through the open source libredd.it front-end, a lot of that information is actually viewable. Try adding /#moderated to a user profile or subreddit you’re curious about via libredd–it can be uhh, illuminating.

      Oh, and it can also reveal posts made by people with supermod privileges, who might be posting under another name attached to the same mod account. This information is hidden on Reddit.

    If the shitliberalssay sub were honestly run, they’d have to remove their entire anarchist mod team. It’s hilarious that Anarchists think they’re not liberals.

      at least the reddit ones, we can hate anarchists as much as they want, many (still kind of rare even offline) are still real anarchists. You will never find a real anarchist online though.

    Again, for a sub run by self-proclaimed anarchists, they’re being awfully authoritarian.

    It’s best just to view the entirety of Reddit in the same way as something like PragerU, an echo chamber controlled by people with very strong liberal or reactionary political biases.
