Reddit caves to the snowflakes and just banned /r/NoNewNormal - the subreddit that questioned Blind Covid Hysteria and was GROWING in popularity following the quarantine (old.reddit.com)

Seems like every time they pull this, though, more and more people get pissed at reddit...

Wonder if there's a way to weaponize this...

This series of events is almost exactly what killed Digg.com. A bunch of power mods got control over the moderation of the site, and there were tolerated and coordinated voting brigades from LittleGreenFootballs.com. It was so bad that I jumped ship to Reddit, cuz you couldn't participate in a decent conversation. (Note that the karma system worked a bit differently - if you were too low, then your comments wouldn't be seen at all, and a down-vote brigade could completely kill your ability to participate.)

In the case of today's reddit.com, the power mods are there, and the admins are all-in on keeping reddit free from controversy, so it's breathing its last breaths. Too bad, cuz I liked reddit, and I feel, right now, the same way I did just before digg died.

I'm glad someone else remembers this. Reddit used to be the best place on the internet it was fucking brilliant. Then Digg had its uprising and died and all the filth and fuckups over at Digg migrated to Reddit and it was all downhill from there. History is repeating itself the same fucktards who destroyed Digg are now destroying Reddit.

Because their site has become a place just for porn addicts and leftist politics. It used to be an all-purpose forum killer.

On Reddit, you can be popular or you can be counter-narrative, but not both

This is the most apt description for the way reddit has been run for the last 5 or so years. The site has gone downhill so quickly, now it's awful.

Brilliant. Idiotic and unintentional, but accidentally brilliant nevertheless.

These fucking utter god damned fuck-wits think the words "falsifiable statement" means "statements proven false".

Vatican II was the culmination of the Masonic plan to capture the Catholic church. Here is the Permanent Instruction of the Alta Vendita. Chapters XIV and XV are the most relevant.

They banned it because the quarantine made it grow. The narrative cannot be questioned and the Establishment will stop at nothing to ensure that.

Their conclusion is all wrong, though.

It's not that power jannies control Reddit, it's that Reddit couldn't allow people to congregate on the open web in a growing sub that completely went against the mainstream media's narrative.

Reddit is the first forum-like community to pop up on Google for queries. They can't have anything from NoNewNormal appearing that disrupts the COVID fear-porn hysteria.

It wasn't that the power jannies got the sub banned, it was that the power jannies just pulled a stunt in line with what the Powers That Be wanted. Realistically, Spez could have just ignored the jannies and left the sub alone until their tantrum blew over. But the power jannie trip-out was actually the perfect cover to use to ban the sub, same way that the wanted to get rid of TheDonald for a long time, and I'm pretty sure it was the January 6th protest that gave them the perfect opportunity to do so.

They didn’t cave to snowflakes they caved to an astroturfing campaign.

Did anyone read the announcement they made about it? It’s straight up reads like state propaganda. We Executed the counter revolutionaries of No New Normal and have arrested 51 other for suspicion of counterrevolutionary thought.

Yeah they bragged about banning no new normal for wrong think and then bragged about quarantining 51 other subs for wrong think.

People on the Faggit KIA sub were speculating that a TOS change by Faggit was preparation to move against the tranny jannies orchestrating this blackout. I knew it wasn't, because Spez is a faggot with a long, long history of capitulating to those troons.

Gah, I doubt it's malicious but their "front page" is mostly "spammed" with posts about the subreddit being banned. Hopefully they clean up things when they get a handle on whatever new traffic is coming their way now.
