R/worldnews mods go full censor on a top level string of comments from a front page story which were discussing corrupt moderation practices in bigger subreddits.

Incident came about because mods deleted a vibrant discussion and moved people to a new thread.

This goes back all the way when they started removing news posts for no reasons, such as the one questioning marijuana to be legal or not,
its the reason I unsubscribed, it feels manipulative and massive at the same time, I think we call that mass media yes?

They're just power hungry weirdos who use the mod position to wield control they probably don't have in real life.

No, the Jews are clearly paying them to censor a tiny insignificant corner of the internet that nobody pays attention to anyway.

I never understood the conspiracy that Jews controlled the world. I'm a Jew, so where's my fair share?

The paradigm right now is that white people control the planet... well, I'm white and where is my fair share?
See how it works?

He was being sarcastic... The only Jews that are part of a conspiracy are from the same class of Muslims or Christians or Atheists that conspire, namely the .001%.

I get that the richest people and ones with the most power happen to be mostly Jewish, but there are a good number of people who think that someone like you, an average person, is secretly indoctrinated to hate everyone else and steal cheat and lie to/from those who aren't Jewish. It's fucking asinine.

I trust the unpaid reporters on Twitter more than any professional focused through a corporate lens. I was in on one of these threads. My comment stayed up... guess it was innocuous enough.

I got kicked off of /r/worldnews for posting too many stories from washingtonsblog.com. The mods are trying to take control of reddit instead of letting the voting system use its power. Hopefully enough people can unite against this to make a difference. We'll see. Thanks for this post!

Corporate government really wants you to have the illusion of free speech and public discourse. But definitely not the real thing.

Even Jedberg from Reddit gets censored on posts not wanted.

Although some of the comments are crude name-calling, there is indeed a problem with Reddit where some mods (and maybe admins) are pretty corrupt and inconsistent. A mod tried to dox me (falsely) and when I complain to admins, I get no replies. Yet they ban some people for not even real doxxing, just someone's claim of it. They protect some people and there's something crooked behind that. Some mods use censorship and also banning as a censorship tool, which is the antithesis of what Reddit should be. But Reddit's now big enough that it makes sense for outside manipulators to put in their agents as mods. Weiss is notorious in several ways.

If my experience is any indication, it works fine for a couple of weeks, and then replaces edits in comments with an ad asking you to subscribe to unedditreddit. Classic bait and switch bullshit.

Obviously I don't think the bookmarklet itself injects ads. Here's what I see now, several weeks after installing.

The "available" link just leads to https://www.unedditreddit.com/ , which notes that I am welcome to subscribe.
It worked for several weeks, then stopped working altogether, then this behavior started several days ago.

reddit,glp.lop.ats,cia,fbi,nasa,apple,microsoft,att,verizon,comcast, motarolla, etc...the one thing they all have in common is they are privitized divisions of the survelience division of the military....truth shall be diseminated here as long as its on a "hipster" level....get too deep, get shut down....you think this shit is real?
