  • Absolutely guaranteed. I went to a right wing private college for undergrad (I was young and stupid, now I’m not young). They had this message board where you could ask the student paper’s editors questions and blah blah. Part of the college identity was about being weird. I made a clever joke about that in a question. Because I had hinted that the student body might be weird, oh my gods not only the editors but the entire message board list its shit for like a week. Having entirely lost their sense of proportion and lived up to the pejorative.

    And that was just being called weird. Someone actually throwing stones? Holy fuck that could actually get entertaining.




  • I mean it’s reddit. Example: I used to get on there from time to time, I’m fairly involved in homelessness services. Almost every time someone gets on there asking for help with food and I send them a link to food kitchens, food banks and other actual social services they can use to get themselves back on their feet, it gets pulled with an explanation of something like “well, we were just hoping for general advice not anything practical” from whatever mod removes the comment. I have some opinions on that.

    It’s less to do with your comments, more to do with the platform and the specific mods
