theyre deleting so many subs, such bullshit. Basically anything slightly controversial that isnt super left wing is a big no-no to them.

Apparently they went and quarantined (not deleted) around 20 new subs, including a far left one. In other words TC is making an uninformed rant (and/or trying to push an agenda).

lmao did you see that they did this exact same thing weeks ago before banning a shit ton of subs? And as far as Im concerned, there isnt much of a difference between a quarantine and a ban on Reddit, I cant read the sub either way.
and which left wing sub got quarantined?

If you have a verified email with your reddit account you can still read quarantined subs.You just have to make sure your account preferences don't filter explicit content. Then go to the sub itself on a desktop browser and accept the little warning/disclaimer they have when you go to the sub. This worked for me last night with a quarantined sub I was trying to get to.

At this rate we're going to end up with "two internets".

This correct-think deplatforming could be potentially dangerous by forcing extremist views into dark corners of the internet to form their own echochambers with zero visibility to more level and rational minds.

I get the "private platform" argument and all, but when these services become all but ubiquitous, I'm not sure where one draws the line of "public utility".

Sure, anyone can nail their manifesto to a telephone pole in the Town square, but to argue that that is in the spirit of free speech in this day and age is disingenuous at best.

They're usually pretty fair on reddit - the only reason they banned the incel subs (the first 3 times) was due to rampant illegal activities (murdering women is bad, guys)

Are you being intentionally dense here?

Let me put it a different way. If everyone to the right of you is a literal Nazi, would you rather have the Nazis out in the open where they can be monitored, or would you rather have them plotting in the shadows until a Night of the Long Knives comes out of nowhere?

What does it say about the Cntrl-Left's position that censorship is the way to win rather than compete in the Marketplace of Ideas?

Oh, I was just talking about the "two internets" bit. Of course, even if I wasn't, I don't really know what point you're trying to make. I'm sure there are plenty of nazis on the dark web.

Nice try Reddit, but you can't fix stupid. All this 'Q' conspiracy shit got deleted, which is basically the work backwards from the conclusion Donald Trump fan club that tries to figure out how the establishment screws over Donald Trump.

Donald Trump is the establishment. He knocks down every environmental regulation, he's pro-war, he takes bribes from multiple countries, (none of them involve Russia, an enemy state), he's for every rich get richer policy there ever was... it's called Oligarchy, and he managed to unfortunately trick a handful of people into thinking he's not the establishment.

Censoring them furthers the delusion. Censorship never works.

This

GameFAQs is also a slowly dying site that only has a tiny fraction of a niche userbase, and at this point has almost no appreciable effect or influence on the rest of the Internet or digital culture as a whole.

If Reddit is cable TV, GameFAQs is someone with a black and white TV with tinfoil and rabbit ears trying to watch a UHF channel. Someone complaining about cable regulation or accusing cable networks of censorship isn't going to care what Uncle Bucephus is watching on channel 87.

The problem with reddit is the up/down vote system basically encourages group think and buries differing opinions. If you don't embrace authoritarian left wing politics you're viewed as a moron at best or worse someone to be vilified.

I try to avoid the political pages and stick to special interests. Analysis of favorite shows, sports or video game discussion is fine. Askreddit, TIL, mildlyinteresting, subreddits like that are good. But anything remotely political is pure toxicity

Hey, don't knock the UHF stations @ParanoidObsessive, Without WLNY, I probably would have missed 2/3 of ST:TNG back in it's original run. >_>

You can still go to them you just have to click on a disclaimer informing you that they contain offensive content and they dont show up in a regular search feed

But cable TV is (was? Idk anymore) strictly moderated precisely because it's mainstream.
