Yeah some weird shit happens there, check out reveddit to see all your posts that have been secretly removed (it will likely be a lot)
My other alt doesn't seem to be able to upvote any more, I think it was flagged after I got a warning for upvoting too many guillotines
turns out trying to radicalize reddit normies is useless because the mod ghouls mercilessly remove your shit
yeah r/politics is a lost cause, but I think latestagecapitalism, aboringdystopia, dankleft, and collapse are still definitely worth a shot if you can stand all the lib shit you have to wade through, and if you stop just short of explicitly calling for billionaires to be guillotined you're unlikely to get your posts removed
Shadowbanning is the most cowardly fucking way of moderating a forum.
People should know they broke a rule, and why, and what the punishment is. If you're too cowardly to face someone and tell them why you swung the banhammer at them, fuck off and get a new "job".
Maybe I wasn't clear, what I was doing was addressing the inevitable argument mods make, when they justify this by saying that it's punishment for broken rules.
Not that it actually really is that.
Don't let me be one to stop you yelling at libs, but I reckon you're pissing into the wind posting on the politics sub, the downvote brigade will get anything you post before it gets seen, even if it isn't instantly deleted.
If you're determined to post on the hellsite and want to maybe actually reach some people, I think latestagecapitalism and aboringdystopia are the two best bets. They both get decent traffic and reach all pretty often. LSC has plenty of radlibs but also lots of baby leftists just taking their first steps, who just need a push in the right direction. And ABD is infested with libs but the echo chamber isn't as overwhelming and I think you can at least put some real cracks in some liberals' worldviews. I dunno, I seem to get more upvotes than downvotes so I guess it maybe does something?
/r/collapse is the most fertile ground I've seen. They're inherently materialists, they're seeing the failures of capitalism as such, and the anxiety they face will either push them far to the left or right depending on which perspectives they're reading.
I agree with what you wrote and that's good advice. I just go into /r/politics when I want low hanging fruit and to vent.
You're stronger than I am going in there right now, I can feel the radiating smugness of a million sniffed farts before I even finish typing the url
They feel the exact same about this as we do when we see, like, a tenants' union succeed in keeping 100 people from being evicted. The exact same emotion, I just know.
