A community gets ruined either by getting too large (Eternal September, evaporative cooling effect) or moderator ineptitude. I respected that this socialist subreddit could somewhat maintain its niche character while allowing good-faith opposition. 90% of their userbase still sucked at counter-intuitive concepts in social-science, but that's true of many remaining centrist or conservative subs on Reddit (eg. r/timpool, r/theleftcantmeme, r/conservative).
Today, I noticed my flair had switched from the unique [malthusian ancap] to the [regarded lolbert] dunce cap. I find out that a recent comment of mine had unceremoniously removed, rather than collecting dust. In fairness, I wrote that on 2 hours of sleep and realize that the incomplete 2nd sentence might have been misconstrued as attacking the parent comment instead of critiquing Sowell. Still, my suspicion is that a trigger-happy janny saw my 3rd sentence as more threatening to their narrative than the usual right-wing comments they leave up. That's a red flag towards what other content they've been pruning, left or right leaning.
My fault for having any faith in tarts who have a century-long tradition of using the incoherent definition of liberal. Side-note: I also noticed that r/outoftheloop lost the neutral PoV it had 9 years ago.
I'm posting here since r/kia2 used to vet based off activity in anti identitarian subreddits, including stupidpol. I'm also asking if this thread about only spam-marked comments becoming invisible was or still is accurate.
Personally, I find it very distasteful that a mod would reflair me after I voluntarily went through their self-identification processs, since it prefers name-calling over reading comprehension. That and not reserving lolbert for libertarians who believe in BLM and open-borders.
The Mises Caucus upset would tend to disprove that. Although there's nothing official in the platform about BLM, wokism is why a lot of libertarians decided to reform the party. Here's an analysis of Mises position on borders, by the way. There has always been some conflict there among the different flavors of libertarianism.
I support the Mises Caucus but they have an uphill battle, with the libertarian brand diluted in the common lexicon, distinct from LP-USA shenanigans. MBA fuckwads (Bobby Kotick) who read the cliff-notes to Atlas Shrugged, wooks in love with their heavily taxed pot (IIRC only 1 or 2 states did it properly).
