This sub paid a lot of lip service to the protest and participated in the blackout, but they removed my post promoting Lemmy and the liberal gun owners group here. Ain’t that some shit?

Edit - I’ve been informed in the comments that the mod message may have been misleading and my post might have actually been removed by Reddit admins. I certainly hope that is true and if so the mods there are not deserving of my misdirected anger.

      Sounds like it might be admins hiding behind a moderator disguise. That sounds at least equally plausible to me.

    @TrinityTek Hi - its not the mods at r/liberalgunowners who removed your post. I’ve been in touch with the mod there and when I made a similar post about Kbin last week it was removed by the Reddit admins, not the sub mods. They wanted to let me know it wasn’t them. Spez has been doing all sorts of shit like that, Its one big reason why I’m done with Spezzit. Post in the m/liberalgunowners magazine here on Kbin-social.

      Thanks for letting me know! I certainly hope that’s true and it wasn’t actually the sub mod team as the message indicated. That’s really slimy for Reddit admins to do that and make out as though it’s the mods, but it’s definitely not surprising at this point.

      Is it possible to communicate to the real mods (not from the company) for OP’s favor to introduce that Lemmy community? Why not reach and private talk to them? Why not the mods themselves to introduce it?

      Also suggestion:

      Why not flood advertize Lemmy/etc… by many many supporting users on every sub on that website through posts and comments (would affect to storage space and content-analysis-for-AI)? Let’s see if those really fake insecure company pretending to be mods could keep that.

    Even if it is admins, I’d like to think a self prescribed leftist would be more mindful of the platforms and content they consume and what it means in the context of their ultimate political goals, and is sort of disappointing, but not surprising, the amount of lip service paid to their “ideals”

    I have tried posting in Bangalore subreddit about the new Bangalore community here. The post and my user acounts were shadow banned.
