The anonymous moderators of the r/democrat Reddit forum of nearly half-a-million democrats are censoring news and support of Biden’s 2024 primary challengers, Marianne Williamson and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. One user was “permanently banned” for the following comment:
Kind of a small Reddit, but it's about a million on the irony meter.
Even wilder — and I don't think anyone noticed — happened within the new Substack Notes feature where "New Normal Reich" author C.J. Hopkins has been waging a seemingly one-man war against hundreds of would-be censors of Notes (who don't want people like Hopkins around). Fairly well known Substacker Seth Abramson kept claiming over and over (as modern hall monitor types do) that "censorship" is only when the government censors and nothing else is ever censorship. Hopkins rightfully said that Abramson is wrong, so Abramson took a Google screenshot to prove his point. The screenshot looked weird to me so I looked it up, and Abramson had actually Photoshopped a Google search result for "censorship" in Wikipedia with the text of "political censorship" from Wikipedia and passed it off as real! (I don't think Hopkins noticed because he's constantly being assaulted by the junior authoritarian league fighting the good fight to censor every opinion they dislike.) But actually using software to censor/rewrite the definition of "censorship" to conform to someone's personal wishes is a whole new level of batshit crazy. And scary!
the democrats have, in general, become fascists. but I've been convinced for a while that there are more bots on reddit than people. they swarm subs whenever a truly 'liberal' view is expressed (and that's been happening at least since 2016).
I used to love Reddit, but the censorship is absolutely insane now. Have you ever looked at Reveddit to track censorship on individual subs? It's eye-opening. Highly recommend checking it out.
Why am I not surprised? I guess as a former "Berner" I knew what sort of treachery to suspect. Nothing has changed with the Dems since 2016. It's just amazing their screwed over members don't rebel, but that might be too "independent" of them.
Not surprising at all. Democrats and other authoritarian scum have been trying to corner the market in censorship and controlling the narrative for a long time.
“Democracy dies in darkness” should probably be “Democracy dies when we demand it.”
I had to check out the comments in that reddit…when I start thinking how can these people write that crap…I remember the Rasmussen poll that showed some 40% of dems would lock me up at home or take my kids or put me in a “ designated facilities or locations ” if I was not 💉
Nice work with this, and everything you've done recently.
Reddit's censorship (r/censorship) also censored any mention of the Twitter Files, which seems related:

Calling trump fascist whilst blocking and suspending and banning people LOL

Ghislaine Maxwell was a top moderator on r/news. That's the caliber of people in charge of Reddit discussions.
CCP stuff. Frankly, more Orwellian than CCP stuff.
How pathetic. I’m so glad I don’t use Reddit. That sounds very tragic.
