It's to keep the bubble. It's happens so a fuck ton on witchesvspatriarchy because TIM's actually believe transitioning is sex magic. It means the mid doesn't have to delete so m ch since people with a different opinion can't comment.
Mods are there to prevent a healthy balance of opinions and skew the narratives.
In a healthy society: child groomers would be executed.
After heavy modding: they can show the impression that the average citizen is in favor of grooming starting at the age of 4. And let you think that The far right are in favor of grooming at the age of 5.
I can't stand threads like that. Yesterday I told my son Reddit is like that commercial about brains on drugs... They fried their brain with drugs, and someone smacked the fuck out of them with a cast iron skillet. But, they're all like that so they think it's normal.
Contest mode is an ancient feature for reddit, and honestly not one of the worst ideas. Probably the only "brigading" counter I'd not be opposed to on principle since it basically is removing the ability to create consensus, dogpiles or echo chambers.
Now "flaired users only" is the cringest thing I've ever heard.
Its must be either intensive or effective to keep that mode since this is first time i've seen in my the last 7 yrs i checked that shithole. And yeah Flaired mode is useless since discord mods keep handing them out
r/conservative has half their posts set to this. The other half, they whitelist all comments. First, comments are immediately removed. Then if a mod gets around to it, they may be restored. But after posting a few time and realizing the majority went nowhere, I stopped.
I can't imagine who would want to participate in that environment, if they knew what was going on. I'm sure the mods think it's necessary to remain on reddit, which may be true. Anything remotely conservative or Trump related was banned.
I imagine that's why T_D existed in the first place and was basically the actual conservative hub for reddit for its existence.
Its like the /MensLib and all those subs. They exist by convincing themselves to be pussyfooting cowards to remain on reddit with their milquetoast Left-Lite takes, while actual subs representing their cause still exist either way.
Yeah emphasis on the -ed. To me, the r/conservative thing is more than pussyfooting. They're purposefully creating a sort of straw man environment. In effect, perhaps not more echo chamber than any other sub, but they are more heavy handed about it and less transparent.
It is containment for reddit. Very contained. Some approved version of conservatism is broadcast.
Oh and very Zionist Jewish (or Christian Zionist, not really distinguishable) for those counting such things.
What specifically is the issue? The contest mode thing?
I looked up the thread, and some comments suggest brigading happened. If true, I suppose contest mode could counter some outside influence on the discussion.

More brigading than usual, anyways. The average upvote rate on r/conservative is like 75%, and barely breaks 60% if it gets over 1k votes. The "flaired users" thing was supposed to mitigate it, but it doesn't stop leftists from voting on everything - which itself is not supposed to impact vote totals, unless either Reddit made an exemption in the brigade protection for r/conservative, or leftists are subbed solely to downvote everything (or most likely both).
r/con gets brigaded constantly, they had to implement a ton of measures to keep the rabid swarm of leftoids from shitting on every single conservative issue that the users who are foolish enough to still be on reddit have to fight tooth and nail to just say without it having 10,000 downdoots.
Could be referring to the "Flared Users Only" tag.
If so that would be odd. The SR has had flair-locked threads for almost a decade. It's not hard to get flair there, either, just don't be a dumb leftoid, talk on reddit, and submit a request you're almost always approved.
r/conservative has always sucked.
The law does not grant an exemption for life-threatening physical conditions in the child, only the mother. The child has been diagnosed with a severe genetic defect that will probably kill the child, but under the law this is not grounds for abortion.
They know exactly what they're doing.
Oh, we're doing this bullshit again? Where we slowly move the needle over time? Like how it started with "safe, legal, and rare" before turning into "on demand, paid by tax payer, because I say so"? Never mind that, in many cases, tests on fetuses can be dead fucking wrong.
I don't know but it looks like a screenshot of some random reddit thread with no archive link or context provided.
Fuck off or make better threads.
If they don't do this they're going to get three trillion angry twoxchromosomes users who are actually pathetic and unemployed enough to swarm and mass downvote literally anything that happens on r/conservative. The thread was also probably featured on one of their attack dog subreddits like "againsthatesubreddits" because reddit decided around 2016 that literally anything right wing is a hate subreddit.
The local Austin news has been all over this story since well before the ruling. The media is making this whole thing out to be like some epic where if the unborn baby doesn't get aborted then it will grow up to be some sort of planet-destroying monster.
It's incredible the lengths this woman will go to have her abortion while so many people cheer her on.
