Why's that?

Elon and the Reddit CEO are butt-buddies

Oh wow, I had no idea. So if you trash Teslers and Elon you get suspended?

Depends where you (and the sub mods) draw the line. I've seen users straight up encourage torching Teslas, meanwhile I got suspended a few weeks ago for "encouraging violence" by saying more or less "Elon dgaf about you, you shouldn't gaf about him"

Elon has been pressuring the Reddit CEO to censor content. You can read more here.

It mostly started with subs banning links to Twitter after Elon's 2 Sieg Heils (my ban incoming), and even more after the huge backlash of DOGE.

Holy crap that's insane and depressing. I already got off X, I don't want to get off Reddit too.

My Twitter/X feed was already garbage by the time Elon took over, I can only imagine what it would be like now lol

Same, reddit is my favorite social media platform and the only one I'm fairly active on. Imo, some moderation is great, more or less depending on the sub, but there's a difference between keeping things on-topic/following basic rules and full on censorship of topics, ideas, and opinions. Especially when they aren't breaking rules like promoting violence/illegal stuff.

To be fair, that 3 day ban was actually kinda nice

Idk why that guy said my account was suspended. It's not. 😄

That said, this protest isn't about Tesla, specifically.

I'm assuming the person said that because Reddit says "failed to load user profile" when I try to tap your profile. (?)

Just as an FYI, it's something on Reddit's side trying to limit bots or othet bad faith authors. r/Redmond mods didn't do it. New accounts on controversial topics tend to get clobbered.

The r/Redmond mods go through the Reddit removed stuff fairly regularly to retrieve content from the trash heap. We have the auto filters set to a pretty low bar, but still stuff gets whacked. That said, the auto-filters also remove a ton of crud.

I will be out of town that Saturday. Might've had work anyway even if I was in town, but if I didn't have work & if I was in town then I likely would've swung by.

There are a handful of accounts constantly spamming local subreddits all over the country with this crap. Could be a domestic propaganda campaign, could be Russia or China trying to create instability. Either way, block and move on.

You’ve cracked the code. It must be propaganda if people are protesting our big orange boy and his cabinet of racists from TV.

Just curious, why are you so angry? All of your comments are angry remarks regarding tesla. 

Don't you care about your American rights? To give you context into some of the people in opposition to what's happening, I am a Combat Veteran and definitely NOT a liberal. 

I love my country and our constitution. I want to preserve the rights of my countrymen. This intense reactive anger from the far right is going to keep you in blinders while your rights are stripped away. 

Maybe read a bit about what happened to Hungary and the Philippines in the last few years and see if it sounds familiar to you. Maybe watch C SPAN and not cable news for awhile and see if you feel differently.
