Case 1
Moderator carrotcypher says “removed for paywall.” When asked about which rule this breaks, receives no response. The post is then locked.
Case 2
Same as the first, except this time there is no paywall - the link is to a freely accessible advocate.com page.
It is censored with no explanation.
Case 3
Same as Case 2, moderators censor the post and leave no explanation.
Case 4
This one is finally given a removal reason: a rule that does not exist in the sidebar, and seems to have nothing to do with the post (“Your post has been removed for being too specific to a company or single product.”)
But in a censored comment, the OP of the post says they received a different removal reason:
This time, other people notice the censorship and the nonsensical nature of the official removal reason.
Since this removal, there has been no further post of this news in r/privacy. Sources tell me the moderators refuse to explain their decision.
ITS FUCKING REDDIT
Why are you even trying at this point; stop wasting your time on that shithole and move on.
In part, because one of the fucking Reddit moderators is now also a FOSStodon moderator, and I think FOSStodon admins might appreciate seeing a pattern of bad behavior
Not a bad idea. I’ll try to crosspost that news a few times later during the weekend to help build the bad behaviour portfolio.
