One way to protest this is to generate a bunch of false positives. Just constantly post comments containing a name that begins with L but has nothing to do with the guy accused of retiring the UnitedHealthcare CEO.

It would be a real shame if everyone started to talk about a certain supporting character in the latest Mario game. Or a certain 1959 Fiat 500 in the Pixar animated film Cars. Or the owner of an Italian restaurant in The Simpsons. Or a Belgian singer who was popular in the 1960s and early 1970s. And so on and so forth.

The false positive only works if it's the admins who have to deal with it though. From what I understand they added a filter that alerts the mods and the admins expect them to deal with it.

[u/NattG → u/WhatIsASunAnyway]

Yeah, I saw the screenshot the mod posted, and that's a filter that the mods would have to deal with, not the admins. So it'd just clog the modqueue.

Plus, if they end up approving a flagged comment that reddit admins later end up removing due to their own standards, that's a strike against the moderator's account (as seen with the former mod of this sub that they booted).

[u/ixfd64 → u/NattG]

So what happens if the mod team uses AutoModerator or another bot to approve the rule-breaking comments? Do the admins take action against the mod who set up the AutoMod rule?

[u/NattG → u/ixfd64]

I'm not an admin, so I'm not sure, I'm sorry. If the change was specifically to avoid a change that the admins made to the subreddit (like the automatic flagging), then I'd guess yes.

[u/ixfd64 → u/NattG]

Yeah, I'd imagine they'd do something like this. And given how Reddit took over subs for protesting the API changes, I don't think the admins are above removing the entire mod team, LMAO.

Come on man, no need to be so violent

[u/Prize-Remote-1110]

A name isn't violent. Neither was the picture yall used.

[u/Prize-Remote-1110 → u/Prize-Remote-1110]

Literally. Lol

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Found the CEO!

[u/Prize-Remote-1110 → u/[deleted]]

Who is "your" ... you went from THEIR, to your... 👀

[u/Business-Donut-7505 → u/[deleted]]

So should we stop saying Hitler, Mao or Pol Pot? Because those people actually stand for violence en masse.

It’s pretty pathetic that a name is what scares you people.

Free speech as long as it's pro conservative or libertarian speech.

Anything liberal, leftist or Luigi related will be heavily regulated by our reddit admin overlords 🙃

[u/Spiky_Hedgehog]

Nice to see the media pick up on this! Reddit does not get called out on their bullshit enough.

[u/Troggieface]

There's this John Leguizamo and Bob Hoskins film from '93 where they play brothers but i can not for the life of me remember the name of John Leguizamo's character.
