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.
Too much general tech expertise has been confined to reddit and hackernews for me to give them up, despite woke monoculture leakage worsening annually. I should spend more time on other tech/geek communties like 8chan.moe, Matrix chat. If there are other active general tech/geek communities out there, I'm not finding them
