Case 1
Moderator carrotcypher says “removed for paywall.” When asked about which rule this breaks, receives no response. The post is then locked.
Case 2
Same as the first, except this time there is no paywall - the link is to a freely accessible advocate.com page.
It is censored with no explanation.
Case 3
Same as Case 2, moderators censor the post and leave no explanation.
Case 4
This one is finally given a removal reason: a rule that does not exist in the sidebar, and seems to have nothing to do with the post (“Your post has been removed for being too specific to a company or single product.”)
But in a censored comment, the OP of the post says they received a different removal reason:
This time, other people notice the censorship and the nonsensical nature of the official removal reason.
Since this removal, there has been no further post of this news in r/privacy. Sources tell me the moderators refuse to explain their decision.
From my (not extremely long) experience in that sub I can say that user is an active and helpful contributor with a good reputation. But Reddit is a corporate sewer so… EDIT: I am referring to lo_______ol
Indeed. I have seen lo______ol around for a while now. We need to name and shame Reddit mods. And move more people to Lemmy. Unfortunately, the Reddit boycott didn’t go well because normies have a sick compulsion to pardon any and all acts by corporate. Normies are the biggest digital masochists sans exception
Fucking normies. I don’t want them over here. You can call spez a cunt until you’re blue in the face (and you wouldn’t be wrong) but it’s the normies who spent thousands of man hours turning the place to shit.
