So AntonioOfVenice has just been suspended for explaining a "comment removal" because Reddit would not like users to 'know' why comments are being removed. The kafkachamber walls are closing in.

Well, at least they're trying to point people in our direction, but holy fuck, Reddit is entirely lost territory and I don't know why anyone is treating it as anything but
I'm genuinely wondering if we should do what KIA did and ban all discussion of transgenderism and then just point people to the victory site as a result.
Real question, because it's impossible to tell from a perspective of a regular old user - do these wink wink, nudge nudge kind of euphemisms really work on people who don't already know what .win is? I think that I have a certain limited understanding of the predicament you're in with this, and from that limited understanding you're doing the right thing, but it's incredibly frustrating to watch at times
Yes-ish.
It's a defensive measure. For some reason Reddit hasn't banned the whole .win domain. The less we actually say https://kotakuinaction2.win the less attention it gets. They consider everything 2 clicks from the link to be enforceable on Reddit. Which means sometimes even linking the home page is a bad idea. But the message is still there. People either know about the site, or will ask for a link. If they don't know, I tell them. If they do know, I'm just reminding them.
I am on the side of obsessively calling out the censorship regime at reddit - even if it makes the site and conversations “less welcoming”
“we are banned from discussing that topic here, for more details and more free speech - check out kotakuinqction2.win”
I like it.
And I love you for the book club.
I have to figure out a reward system for participants.
A flair system exists, but I have to manually build it first.
I was thinking of giving GOG rewards to participants. Like Gift Certificates or something.
I will say, thanks to that sick fucking faggot Chris Chan more and more redditors are speaking up against these trannie jannies.
Like /r/Cringetopia is going full on Transphobic and AHS is having a field day with it but no AEO bans as of yet. They might still be working on shifting the overton window but more and more apolitical people are getting fed up with this faggot "Woke" shit.
So there is still hope for society, but the Reddit powerjannies have got to fucking go if there is any hope for that site ever again.
There is no hope for corrupted institutions. The best thing you can do is purge like you've got gangrene.
Because Reddit still has the users, functionality, and gravitas that this snitty network doesn’t. KIA2 is one of the last right wing subs on Reddit and neutering it by taking away yet another cultural divide issue is silly at this point.
I don't care about reddit drama.
Ha!
Serves him right for not deleting his account and emigrating already.
I really don't care what happens to that leftist shill. The reddit admins could tie him to the bumper of a station wagon and drag him for six miles, and I wouldn't do a thing but applaud.
One of those things actually exists. The other is a largely imaginary boogeyman, used by leftists to discredit disagreement.
No idea why you're being downvoted, but he really is insufferable.
If someone wants to hold opposing views, great, fine. Do that. But he's always ragging on these alleged "Stormfags" with a poorly constructed strawman and constantly carrying over Reddit-tier talking points that annoy the heck out of me.
You can tell he actually DOES believe some of that Left-wing lunacy because he's been around it for so long. But once you start peppering him with questions (that would otherwise be banned on Reddit) he can't argue worth spit. He has no clue how to fact check, and relies on his Leftist overlords to provide him with (dis)information.
I wouldn't be so hard on him if he would at least acknowledge and be willing to think critically FOR HIMSELF, but he won't even do that. He just regurgitates the most banal aspects of Reddit's conversational culture, which is being a prevaricator of snark and sophistry.
Yes, literally this. He is everything that people come to this site to get away from.
Nice account Anthony.
He doesn't need a throwaway, he's already here.
I meant it as a joke based on what the other poster said.
You’re making a throwaway account on .win
LoL
You realize he has a regular account here, right?

you cannot say transgenders are mentally ill
Not even that. It's not just the idea that transgenderism itself is a mental illness, which will get you into trouble, but calling any troon mentally ill even for unrelated reasons.
We discovered this rule when someone called Elaine Paige mentally ill for demanding free "sex change" operations.
Seeing as how this isn't Reddit I'm going to go with my heart on describing this.
That's pants on head retarded.
What happens if we say Chris-Chan is mentally ill?
Don't be absurd. Since one day in 2011, Chris Chan has been in absolutely perfect mental health.
That said, I have not been enforcing the rule on Chris Chan, because I would just love to see the admins pull a comment for calling Chris Chan mentally ill (and right now, we haven't had a removal in a while, so we can risk it).
At last, a moderation policy I agree with.
If they don't, does it mean that he's the world's only mentally ill trans person, or does it mean that he's not trans?
We seem to be able to misgender and deadname him freely, so it looks like he's simply denied trans status due to being too embarassing for the left to bear.
Yes, it seems that even though everyone is the gender he claims he is, and that no questioning is allowed, this does not apply to Chris Chan. So far, we are able to correctly gender him freely, yes. They really want to disown him, unfortunately.
How did you find out about this?
...Are you trying to help your masters plug the leak?
No, I'm just curious, because as far as I know, only three or four people knew about this. Apart from the admins.
They're a few months late on doing that to KIA, unless you count Pinkerbelle who's been there for ages.
prob best to lock it down pass ownership to alts that are almost never on and stamp a redirect on it then
That just gets your subreddit removed.
