Reddit privacy moderators recently censored this content over a day after it was posted. IMO the reason is suspicious.

(There are no subreddit rules banning “political propaganda” or “character assassination.” Nor does this comment appear to rise to either of those accusations: other non-removed comments back up the removed one.)

    The point is mostly to contain the inevitable griping to some degree.

    If there’s a c/ where complaining about reddit is the default, then it’s easier to channel such things to that c/ rather than dealing with it constantly in other communities. Can’t say how effective it actually is, but that would be the point imo

      Honestly, that’s an interesting thing to consider and I hadn’t done that before. I think my own extremely strong hatred for centralized social media clouds my ability to not have a knee jerk reaction.

      Is PTSD from being in a techbro’s walled garden a known phenomenon? LOL

          I didn’t say it was funny. I have PTSD, depression and an anxiety disorder. I’ve been in counseling for these things on and off since 2017.

          But to clarify, the knee jerk reaction I referenced comes from my own triggers to certain things. So, that was an actual question; do people experience an instant PTSD-like reaction from their time on corpo social media after they leave it?
