Update: the post is back, maybe people mass reported it and the bots took it down? I don’t know.

EDIT: It seems the removal got reverted and the post brought back.


It seems Reddit is removing it from everywhere, even the one in pcmasterrace got nuked. It would be interesting to know the reason, but we all know how transparent Reddit's sitewide moderation policies are.

I do NOT regret ditching Reddit, seeing how Spez the lemur boy is trying to shape discourse over there.

[–] Dubious_Fart@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 year ago

Its amazing reddit didnt collapse when Spez was caught editing peoples comments that were critical of him.

[–] NotSpez@lemm.ee 25 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I don’t like that Spez guy

A bit like Lemmy, but without blackjack and hookers.

It may be his fans' effort to massreport it directly to admins avoiding local mods. It's not hard to imagine vs direct request from LTT.

[–] N00dle@lemmy.world 121 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I could maybe understand them locking the post. However, I don't see a reason for them needing to delete the post.

[–] li10@feddit.uk 66 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It was the Reddit admins, I don’t know if there’s been any proper explanation, but apparently it might be related to self harm references in the post.

[–] unscholarly_source@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

If there's one thing that's consistent about Reddit, it's that it's inconsistent.. There are many Reddit decisions that baffle everyone.

[–] Wage_slave@lemmy.ml 37 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Her story isn't profitable. Not like Linus, profitable to reddit, so we see reddit being spez being a removed.

This is different than the admins of the subreddit removing it right?

[–] Mechanize@feddit.it 66 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is the work of the Reddit's (site) admins, not the subreddit moderators. In fact it seems it is getting removed site-wide.

[–] roguetrick@kbin.social 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Legal got a notice. Linus is losing money.

[–] Kaldo@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I still don't get why is that reddit's issue. Is the general public not allow to discuss ongoing events like these, it's never been an issue before? It's probably just mass bot spamming of reports for these threads, but I'm surprised local subreddit mods cant overrule it.

C-suite types have a club. You’re not in it. Neither am I.

Subreddit mod removal would show [Removed].
[ Removed by Reddit ] is done by the site admins or AEO.

In regards to comments with the former you could still see your own comments, for the latter even as the author you would see this message, making an appeal nearly impossible too. And the AEO monkeys ban you for literally anything.

You can find more information in the post "Madison on why she quit" in this community.

To give a really short and unworthy TLDR Madison was an employee of LMG and have shared her - honestly abysmal and abusive - experience working there.
Some noteworthy quotes:

I was asked about my sexual history, my boyfriends sexual history, "how I liked to fuck".

I was told that certain issues were "sexual tension" and I should just "take the co-worker out on a coffee date to ease it out"

I was told I was chunky, fat, ugly, stupid. I was called "retarded" I was called a "faggot"

My work was called "dogs--t" I was called "incompetent".

"I think the reason you try to be funny, is because you lack any other skills." smiled then walked away.

I watched co-workers get what I had asked for weeks before they did. It took 2 months to get mine.

Also apparently some managers didn't like me because I "hadn't gotten drunk with them before" Which was said in that haha just jokin (but actually I'm serious) tone

I sincerely invite you to read the whole thread where she shared her story: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1691693740254228741.html

It seems that the Reddit admins are currently deleting all threads that link to Madison's experience.

I was asked about my sexual history, my boyfriends sexual history, "how I liked to fuck".

I think Reddit might have automatically taken it down based on user reports and the content policy due to this part being taken NSFW?

I sincerely invite you to read the whole thread where she shared her story: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1691693740254228741.html

Thank you! I read most of it in snippets but this is much easier to follow. It's so terrible and was what prompted me to unsubscribe.

On top of the other shit going downst LMG for their sloppy to the point of unacceptable journalism, an ex worker at LMG also came forward about the working conditions there, including allegations of sexual harassment and sexual assault.

selling prototypes of unreleased hardware without manufacturer consent

This isn't true. They didn't sell the prototype, they sold it at an auction. Entirely different, apparently.

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 30 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ah, so they didn't sell it, they just sold it. Gotcha

[–] Hyperreality@kbin.social 20 points 1 year ago

No, no. They auctioned it. Selling it to the highest bidder isn't selling. It's 'auctioning'.

At leats that's what I gathered from Linus' explanation. LOL

Probably. The Linus taint sniffers on Reddit are insufferable
