They keep telling me that China isn't controlling Reddit, yet I keep seeing nonstop evidence they are. πΆ

For profit media is state controlled. The state being the corporations.
It is just galling to me that some massive rich dweebs interpreted all of my favorite dystopian cyberpunk as a blueprint
Violent content is against Reddit rules. So why is the content not being removed and the poster banned?
I ve gotten banned for reporting violent content, and also for inciting violence the same month, the ban for reports was something very stupid like harassing mods, person I reported was just straight up advocating for violence, while me advocating for violence was "I dont think h1b visas help americans, college grads are already struggling to get relevant jobs, one thing I agree with some conservatives on" (in the conservative sub, funny enough most of them were against it day 1, by day 2 they were all for it on that sub, think trump had also said his support by then)
Because when a trap kills the rats you do not punish the bait in the rat trap.
It still drives engagement. Same for the subs that have been flooded with AI stories and bot responses. It can be marketed as engagement to advertisers.
Ah so violent content is banned unless itβs making Reddit cash. Then itβs fine.
I reckon it's more that they need to be 'seen' to be doing something about it, but will nonetheless take the engagement as long as it doesn't cause a stir. I mean they had jailbait and watchpeopledie as large subreddits for ages... until they started getting flack for it.
"Violent" needs scare quotes, because it's obviously subjective and ripe for abuse.
Reddit is now Fascist media. They will suppress talk of armed resistance, if (god forbid) it comes to that.
Ahhhhhh
Baby sad
Is there hope for diggβs rebirth?
"Hope" read as "won't some corporation save us?!"
Yeah actually old Reddit founder and another similar dude buying it and refreshing it soon, apparently.
