This action was taken under an unannounced rule that can label and censor criticism of anyone or anything with “FUD.”
You’ll find it’s only used to protect the rich and powerful, though.
Unable to simply delete the post, the moderators scrubbed comments from anyone who named and shamed CEO James Dolan, but allowed his supporters to remain uncensored.
Criticism of basically anyone rich or powerful was removed.
Criticism of Tucker Carlson was removed.
I think Reddit has strong anti witch hunt rules after the whole Boston bomber fiasco. Can’t fault them for going for „blast it from the orbit” approach, they couldn’t even keep Reddit profitable without resorting to hosting porn and you want them to have nuance in moderation.
They also ban criticism of the US government, US billionaires, and Israeli spyware… I sure can fault them for doing this
