This is so true.

But, the good thing about reddit, a forum where lots of people were centralized, is that they could wonder into your sub and educmacate themselves. Now you're isolated and they can't do that. People can still introduce socialist / environmentalist ideas into corporate forums on a poster by poster basis, but I think they will be censored, as well, by a variety of open and secretive means. And it doesn't work as well as having all the material in one place where people can read it at their own pace.

If they were brigading, that's bad. There's def a brigading, vote manipulation, AstroTurf problem at reddit. But, I' support a "free speech" site that tolerates gender critical thought and "conservative" thought, because then it must tolerate Chapo / socialist thought, too.

As you can see, distinguishing between "hate" and beliefs the powerful don't like is proving a bit difficult for the powerful, and those that are susceptible to their propaganda.

You're absolutely right, I think.

If anything, chapo erred by being too sensitive to minority concerns. That's partially why stupidpol-- the only functional socialist forum I'm aware of on reddit--was birthed. (You should join if you haven't already.) It's insane to claim it was banned for insensitivity to minorities.

And they also banned gender critical, which, even if you don't like it, never did anything like brigade or harass. So, yeah, a purge of leftist thought, and anything controversial for advertisers--who apparently don't mind snuff porn (literally, porn about killing women).

Probably also a way to advertise themselves as the new advertiser friendly corp.
