Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
Tennessean here who tried to organize on my state/city subreddits. Can confirm this kind of partisan censorship is not new.
A while ago I made a innocuous enough post on my city's sub about a "Release the Epstein Files" billboard that went up and was paid for by our local Mobilize chapter. Within an hour it was the most upvoted post of the past month. Within 2, it was removed without reason and I was blocked and banned permantly
That’s Reddit, I was banned from a Pokemon Go subreddit for being against Niantic forcibly leaving their sandbox environment on iOS.
We need to be careful on Lemmy. Only the fact that the moderators and admins have goodwill are keeping Lemmy from becoming like Reddit. If Lemmy gets big and starts attracting people who want to pay to take over communities, that will stretch the moderator goodwill to the limits.
The difference being that Lemmy supports multiple communities with the same name.
If an instance is allowing their communities to be sold, they can be defederated.
We MUST Protect Jeffrey Epstein!
-Republicans!
This is why Reddit is garbage and anyone that still has an account on there is only fueling the fire. Fuck Reddit and their mods
Reddit's glory days were when it was big enough to have consistently interesting stuff, especially in the niche subs, but not so big that bad actors (corporatization, foreign influence, domestic partisan bots, hate groups) could enshitify it. Now it's practically unusable.
From
The start page of the internet
To:
this tiny little corner on the internet
Reddit sure has come far
At one point it was a glorious place. Then 5 people became admins and mods of the most popular 100 sub reddits and began controlling the narrative to fit their beliefs. In my opinion reddit has been dead for at least 5 years now
Front page, I believe was what they called themselves. But yeah, it's been a glorious fall.
What a power-tripping little dick energy cunt. God I fucking hate reddit.
That is why Lemmy exists. And I hope that even more people will start using it since new harsh Reddit policies have appeared.
Lemmy has power tripping bastards too. it's just usually more transparent.
A person in Tennessee defending pedophiles and abusing power in that pursuit?
Shocked, shocked I tell you.
Wow. Just fucking wow.
Does Facebook and X do similar types of censoring when it comes to the Republican agenda?
Or is it somehow easier to install them as mods on Reddit subs, making it appear to be more “grass roots” without blaming the platform itself for censorship and bias?
I guess of fb you have “groups” (as opposed to subs) where you could install similar “mods.”
Facebook, Twitter and Reddit all have a history of silencing by shadowbans and most people have no idea. There's a billion different ways to silence you on each of these.
I'm not surprised the amount of propaganda here in Tennessee about that race is staggering.
I'm not in that district... But we still have commercials, radio and television along billboards and small signs.
So much spin both sides.
Fuck reddit, and fuck censorship.
Lets be clear though, reddit is only worse than lemmy because it is centralized by one group of douchebags.
Lemmy has plenty of shitty moderation too, and arguably is worse at dealing with it within any given instance due to the lack of proper mod tools, the way posts that are deleted remove entire comment sections from being accessible, the lack of any appeals system and I'm sure a few other things I don't remember off the top of my head.
Its a people problem, and its a style of organization problem with this style of forum.
If I recall a similar thing happened to the San Antonio subreddit. Something like it was taken over during the mod revolt, and the new mods seem to have very specific interests.
The /r/canada sub has long been controlled by far right people as well. There's been an effort to seize control of city / state / country subs.
The mod of a fascist sub about a fascist state of a fascist country on a fascist website is behaving like fascist? I’m shocked.
They have been playing ads on TV consistently for them. Hers saying she wants to help try to keep health insurance available, not get premiums raised and help the people of Tennessee.
His saying she's a radical that was opposed to ICE agents and trying to bully them by blocking them with her car.
His ads have nothing policy based ever said, because it sounds like none of his policies help the people. I guess he is pro tariffs or something, idk
The right never campaign on policy because if they did they wouldn't get any votes.
Obligatory fuck reddit comment
What does progressivehq have to do with the Tennessee subreddit?
Oops, you are 100% correct, I fixed the title.
Of all people to claim is spam, Steve fucking Hoftstetter‽
Abandon Reddit and leave it as a Government of Putin cesspool filled with Russian shills. If the Volunteer Oblast votes for Van Epstein, fuck them too for protecting pedophiles, rapists and felons.
Guy should do an AMA and then bring this up
That's why Reddit is the shit hole it is.
Typical reddit situation. When someone does something the GOP doesn't like, it's spam or fake news.
So stay the fuck off Reddit?
Man, fuck reddit. If you aren't a conservative anything can get you modded or banned.
Its fucking wild seeing people still talking about how biased reddit is against people on the right. Go onto any big subreddit and you'll see their no politics rule means no left wing politics.
