Even im weirded out by how thoroughly the left was suppressed on reddit and other platforms. People on reddit only saw themselves mirrored and thought they were the only ones who existed.
Dozens of major leftist subreddits were literally banned, CTH being the most famous example, thousands of users received constant arbitrary 3 day bans over and over again with no explanation, the admins and mods who worked with them were pretty open about their suppression of the left
Yeah you keep telling yourself that horseshit, just ignore the fact the admins flatly said we were banned for “inciting violence” in the form of “KIll all slaveowners”
Also “brigading” that’s an interesting word, is that what you’re doing right now?
No because brigading is encouraging a subset of a website to raid something else. A single person cannot be brigading anything as a single person isn’t a brigade.
Yes because only nazis oppose a system that does not achieve much other than mass murder leading to authoritarianism.
The British and American empires also led the anti-communist crusade. You’ll note the massive stacks of bodies and constant installation of puppet governments each one is responsible for.
If you think the Soviets weren’t less mass murder-y by a magnitude less than capitalist or monarchist governments you need to learn more about the constant stream of violence that capitalism produces. Even the massively exaggerated death counts of all socialist countries put together by anticommunists pale in comparison to just the British empire.
Also revolutions are the most authoritarian thing in existence. It is literally one class exercising control through physical violence and coercion against the class that has been socially murdering them and oppressing them until they collectively couldn’t take it anymore and were organized enough to fight back.
This community was banned for violating Reddit’s rule against promoting hate.
Doesn’t say anything about brigading.
And since we weren’t a hate sub in any way, my only conclusion is they think “kill all slave owners” is hate, since they LITERLALY complained about that and removed our comments saying so.
“Remember the human. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people. Everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Communities and people that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned.”
That’s Spez’s quote on the reason for CTH being banned. Looks like it was for all the threats of violence and harassment, which I absolutely regularly saw from CTH posters, and it had nothing to do with hatespeech.
I’d say both are true. The left is actively suppressed on the platform AND the userbase is not that progressive (particularly on geopolitics) because of it being American-centric.
I mean Reddit’s director of policy, Jessica Ashooh, is former Deputy Director of the Atlantic Council’s Middle East Strategy Task Force — she’s literally a state department plant.

Right? You wouldn’t recognize the place if the last time you were there was in 2016
well i was permabanned in 2020 so it actually has been a while
It isn’t that the left is suppressed. It is that Reddit is more American centric and the USA is simply not that progressive.

CTH was shut down for brigading and abuse though. It wasn’t all that different from T_D albeit a better class of troll
Not sure that was the reason

No because brigading is encouraging a subset of a website to raid something else. A single person cannot be brigading anything as a single person isn’t a brigade.
How about many single persons acting individually with no direction?
That would also not be brigading but if you are crossposting with say /r/conservative in order to draw people to fight there that would be brigading.
Before ShermanPosting became a place that just shat on the south brigading was a problem.

To be fair nazis are where you hear that kind of shit from historically

Notably; promoting hate against dead slave owners, a protected class according to Spez.

Spez wants to own slaves after “the collapse” so it makes sense he interprets “kill slaveowners” as hate speech.
1.) Spez is a Nazi, so write that down
2.) We were banned because we wouldn’t stop posting “KILL ALL SLAVE OWNERS” in our own quarantined sub.
That’s nice.

Spez et-all quarantined and eventually banned all the left subreddits years ago. The closest thing left is I think the Trueanon sub…
feels like thedeprogram sub hoovered up all the gzd people who missed the lifeboat
Americans at large do not support the weird p3do libertarian bullshit that spez supports.
