And people wonder why Trump needs to get his message out directly to the people.

Of course, the CEO and Yahoo blame the users for it and barely accept the responsibility of censorship


The CEO of Reddit confessed to modifying posts from Trump supporters

I have gotten into it with the guy myself personally

I ran a subreddit and he came in and deleted a sticky post we had at the top. I said frick that shite and reposted it and he shut down the entire sub and IP banned me from the site - and also banned the IPs for my work and my phone.

The sticky post he deleted was a sourced, detailed summary of a certain Reddit user who is a mod on a shitload of subs, exposing him of being a pedohpile tranny that was luring 13 year olds to his Los Angeles apartment to illegally give them horomones. We could only speculate what the price was for them to obtain the horomones, no way he gave them away for free. Since the Reddit staff is so close with the transgender subs on the site, spez wanted no part of our expose.

He might be forced to resign over this if there are enough waves made. Even people that hate r/The_Donald are pissed at him for abuse of power and breaking their trust.

These people have no shame. If this shite was done to Obama there would be blood in the streets, firings and boycotts.

Imagine what would happen if a Fox News person was caught giving debate questions to Trump?

JFC!

Reddit might simultaneously have the best community and worst ownership/management on Earth.

And it's those "looney" conservative sources that are producing all the fake news!

I hope so. I used to be a The_Donald mod and the admins were always telling us to "do this or that" or they will shut down the entire sub. I was a mod at /r/conspiracy and /r/subredditcancer as well and it was very similar the way the mods would dictate to us. Basically any sub that calls out the admins gets heavily scrutinized and dictated to. I was a mod of a few subs that got shut down back in June 2015. FatPeopleHate was one. There was another sub I was a mod of that I will not name(because it will probably get me banned) that got shut down that I was one of the main mods of. All of which the admins were always in our business.

The site is a joke. The problem is that there is no alternative. Voat still sucks and no one takes it seriously.

You mean the great meme war that produced #Draftourdaughters?

I was a founding mod of a popular Reddit sub that got shut down last year, I will not name it because I'd probably get banned for saying I was a mod there, but frick we would get nonstop hate mail and hate messages from SJW liberal ****s who didn't like our sub. It was bad.

We'd have SJWs send us video messages spazing out and going ape shite saying to shut down our sub or else they will get their hacker friends at anonymous to dox us. We trolled the shite out of one of these idiots, we pretended to be anonymous and fed him fake names of ours saying it was our dox, and he made this video dropping all of our "dox info" sung to the tune of Lorde's Royals

I hear being a mod of The_Donald is a very tough job and requires constant watching.

Is this true? I'd like to hear what it is like having to mod the most active sub on reddit.

Mr Alefantis asked them to shut it down because it's "fake news" but it's ok for them to keep saying trump is kkk and hates gays etc which is TRULY fake news


From the NYT
Quote:
"To combat the fake news tide, Mr. Alefantis has contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the local police, and he has asked Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Reddit to remove the articles. Yet the misinformation has continued to spread, growing into a theory known as #pizzagate that has traveled to Ireland. At one point, Comet’s staff counted five #pizzagate Twitter posts a minute. As recently as Sunday night, the Twitter message “Don’t let up. #PizzaGate EVERYWHERE” was reposted and liked hundreds of times."

Then here's another quote from NYT:
"Fake news online has been at the center of a furious debate for the past few weeks over how it may have influenced voters in the presidential election. President Obama warned last week that we are “in an age where there’s so much active misinformation and it’s packaged very well” on social media sites. The criticism has buffeted web companies such as Google and Facebook, whose chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, has promised to work on technology tools to slow the gusher of false digital information."

Zuckerberg ..... he's such a weasel

I'd link it but the guy in the video reveals said name of sub I modded, I don't want that known here on TD.

The people I modded that sub with were some of the most sinister internet trolls you could imagine. One of them had frick you money, and there was this guy who constantly trolled the IRC channel we hung out in, so he literally doxxed him, went to his house, took a picture of his front door and sent it to him via private message the next time he came to troll our IRC. He never trolled our chat again.

He also went to Baltimore during the Freddie Gray riots just to pick fights with the protesters. Sent me a text message picture one night of him with 2 black eyes. He literally gave no fricks.

There was another user who modded some subs with us who we suspected of being a mole, and we were right. He got arrested in Florida and is currently in a mental institution. He was a jew pretending to be a neo nazi. Here is his Wikipedia page: LINK

His dumbass cofounder was the one that dropped like $35 Mil on HRC. He has to be the dumbest smart guy ever. I guess that is pocket change to the tres commas club.

I was an early mod, modded back in September 2015, when hardly anyone posted there. There were only like 10 submissions a day.

I was a mod all the way through the primaries, but Reddit kept shadow banning my accounts and told the mods to stop re-modding my new accounts. So I gave up. The mod staff now is almost completely different from what it was when I was a mod.

Yes it was a clusterfrick because of all the false flag trolls. The ones who purposely came in trying to break site rules to get the subreddit in trouble(i.e. encouraging others to brigade). Not to mention all the hate mail and porn posts and such from haters and ShitRedditSays.
