So many users I put into that bot engine that can detect accounts that are bots or are being utilized to spam/shill came back positive for it. That shit will hopefully be Reddit's downfall.

I would go with that. There are way too many pushing vaccines, masks, fear, whatever that will say something like I saw yesterday "my grandma died from Covid last year, now I know several people who's kids have it and their families are worried about them dying. One of them is calling me with their kid in the ICU." How statistically improbable is that? So your grandma was one of the 1/500 of the US population that has died and you are close enough that they call you when their kid is in the ICU. Kids in ICU is definitely a lower stat than total death. Combine the chances and you get a person who's existence is lower chance than a lottery win. Yet you see these people all over the place.

It goes back decades. The schools and media have inculcated people from the time they can walk that leftist shit is cool and they are the underdog in some battle against “The Man.” They will accept any information from certain sources and have concluded that if anyone to their right has contradictory information it has to be false. Not only that the conclusion is wrong, but the information that forms the basis of the conclusion is wrong.

Now I see it as the greatest mistake ever, allowing the general population access to the internet.

So much this, it isn't even funny. I first got access to the Internet back in '95 when I transferred to a state university from community college. Between discovering Usenet and IRC, it was like a whole new world opened up in front of me. The amount of information that could be shared between people all across the world left me awestruck.

Then, as access became easier and easier, the discourse got worse and worse. The creators tried to make it more friendly for the masses, and in the process the masses just shit all over everything. The Eternal September that started two years prior to when I arrived continues, and at this rate it will never end until access is curtailed or a new Internet with more stringent entry requirements is created.

i don't know anyone local who even ever GOT covid, a few friends online claim they got it

i don't know anyone who had a serious case, certainly no one who died

i know 3 or 4 (one is uncertain, it could be vaccine tainted transfusion killed her) people now who died from the vaccine, and 2 more severely disabled now

every one of them an absolutely tragic story

but i guess vaccine injury deaths aren't allowed to be mourned or mentioned on reddit, only 'covid' deaths..

the compassion and tolerance of the left. wrong opinion. banned, died from something we don't want to talk about, banned/ignored

You only know you got if you got tested for it. Now most cases were asymptomatic but if you had symptoms you probably just think you had a bad cold.

over 99% of 'deaths involving covid' are PRESUMED, according to the CDC's own data

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/

not causal, and not confirmed

and even the less than 1% that are confirmed, were with the PCR test, which can't tell the difference between influenza A, B, corona, the common cold, covid19, or any variants

so the likelyhood your girlfriend was TOLD someone she knew died from covid.. is .. pretty low STILL, but measurable.. the likelyhood that she KNOWS that someone died from covid, is pretty much immeasurable, nearly 1 in 1million

we were all lied to, but if you checked the source data.. it was obvious it was a lie

Guess I'll chime in too. Same thing. I know several who had covid, including a 93 year old. All felt under the weather for a week, and then were fine.

Also strange that I can't name one public figure who died from it. With AIDS there was Freddy Mercury, Arthur Ashe, etc. You would think with all the "death and despair" happening that one notable person would have died.

Actually I knew a guy who got it last summer and died at 35 years old. They put him on a ventilator early and he never got off. I know another guy whose elderly dad died of COVID, but he also fell off his bed in the hospital and may have died of his injuries and other compounding factors (of course, his death certificate gives one attribution). And I met a guy whose aunt died of COVID.

It happens. So do car accidents, of course.

The official reason is that NNN was “brigading”. I have no doubt that anyone merely mentioning another sub was used as “evidence” for brigading.

Meanwhile, there were dozens of subs that were banning all NNN members merely for being NNN members, and this was never considered “brigading”.

This is just more evidence that leftism is a mental disorder.

Exactly, this was my reply to the reddit admin after reading their reasoning post explaining the ban, i also loged out and remove it from my boookmark.

What about other sub banning people for posting in NoNewNormal, this is obviously brigading, it was going on for a while and nothing was being done. Am saddened by the way things are heading here. You dont bear the right to forcefully impose your ideology on us and silence us, we are in a democracy. Labelling us covid denier is just wrong and childish, this community was about alot more than just covid.

Brigading was defined by the faggot as "interference" and being a sort of negative outside influence on another sub.

Under their own definition all of those large subs that went private to get NNN banned are guilty.

Will reddit faglords acknowledge this? You bet your ass they won't.

Yep. Any alternative site created that attempts to respect the original spirit of the internet pre-iphone era and crosses a certain threshold of popularity experiences attacks on multiple fronts:

  • Influx of hostile accounts posting offensive/hate/glowie material which quickly overwhelms any moderation efforts and adds to revenue overhead

  • Mass ddos attacks which forces admins of said site to purchase expensive ddos mitigation from woke/konverged ddos mitigation providers, adding even more overhead costs

  • If above two aren't successful in making the site go dark, a coordinated barrage of hitpiece articles (ala "Gamers are dead") from all the usual suspects (see gab's wikipedia entry for a nice example)

  • If the admins/staff of said site keep up the good fight, then the undermining/co-opting of the staff begins by covert radicalized woke ideological individuals with no lives (aka n8thegr8)

  • Site's financing/funding is attacked by woke banksters

  • Site loses ddos protection because woke ddos mitigation provider says it promotes violence/hate/misogyny/whatever other communist logic justification

Influx of organic, well intentioned new members slows to a trickle thanks to the above factors. Admins are worn down by the constant attacks on multiple fronts and fold up shop.

geez 'covid denial'

even if we were denying covid existed.. which were not, it is a supporting arguement, it is our right to do so, and it doesn't break their bullshit rules

but ya the sub wasn't even about that, it was about not changing our entire way of life, not taking away all of our rights because of a virus with an admittedly low death rate

now that they banned it and .. apparently 54 other subs, they can just push their spin and no one is even allowed to argue against it, you don't get to see both sides, you don't get to see reasons, they just make up lies and bullshit up silence people off their platform.. disgusting assholes

we put up with thousands of brigading trolls in our sub for the entire existence of the sub, but they fake a framejob brigade behind a PRIVATE SUB wall and they ban the sub instantly, none of us even ever got to see why, because we can't see the private sub, and we can't see our banned sub..

Reddit has some identity reconciliation to do.

“Community members [of those high signal communities] act in good faith when they see “bad” content…” Guys, we live in a different world now. It’s time to match our work with that reality. Where cult behavior can not and should not be endorsed, validated and spread in the name of Reddit policy or first amendment rights. THIS IS NOT THAT HARD Hate speech has already been defined to not be included with free speech and neither is/should be speech (an expression of an “opinion”) that includes willful medical negligence; the kind that does get people killed. So your definition of a healthy sub is all well intentioned sure, but members of these high signal communities are no longer doing what’s right, and then falsely hiding behind “I have a right to my opinions.” Again, because cults. It just cannot be clearer.

Wtf is "hard hate speech"? Lol

Oh look, a post full of doublespeak where all the top visible comments are powerusers.

Hmm...

If I were to, once again, look into the background of the top posters how many do you think I would uncover to be part of a marketing firm or bots?

I still remember back when I got banned from r/politics for pointing this fact out. It's only gotten even worse since then.

Hilariously enough there's people in the comments section of that archive saying how great r/politics is and how they definitely don't do what they're accusing others of.

KiA is a neo-nazi recruitment forum. Somebody forgot to tell the tranny jannies, I guess. Too busy stuffing shit into each other's front holes to realize.

And r/conservative is a hideous and destructive entity that is the cause of all life's woes. We support free speech, of course, but they don't so ban them.

If we look in the buried comments we find a few callous for Reddit's double standards on brigading and "interference." They allege that NNN was responsible for multiple campaigns, without evidence of course, but those subreddits that privated specifically to push Reddit to ban NNN are a-okay!

Oh, and spez is a right wing nazi... somehow? Fuck if I know.
