MODERATORS
How is getting banned for the mildest takes relevant for posting a link to a drop box with concert images?
The topic is reddit overzealously banning people. People commented with their experiences being banned by overzealous reddit mods and admins.
If you don't like it, you can go somewhere else. That's how the threadiverse works. You don't have to be here if you don't like the conversation, but you don't get to tell people what not to post or comment.
If that's how you want to be, go back to your beloved reddit where you can be a mod and ban people for stupid reasons. No one here will miss you.
Are you actively ignoring the similarities between these instances or do you genuinely not understand that they’re both examples of strange and excessive moderation?
To me this seems like an auto mod fuck up that is quite reasonable and an embarrassing delay of manual review coupled with a classic dogpile.
If it gets manually reviewed it’ll only be because this dogpile happened. Lots of people get banned like this with no recourse because they aren’t Paul McCartney
"manual review" ...
...rriiiiigghht...
There is zero benefit to banning celebrities and taking the fallout. Why would they? If they are profit driven they wouldn't. Even if they were cartoonishly evil they only hurt themselves.
...you're almost there, keep thinking just a little longer...
Maybe the mods try to sabotage the reddit stock by creating drama and a general mess. But that's paranoid reasoning.
