MODERATORS

Anyone else think Reddit mods are using shadow bans to limit dissenting opinions? (lemmy.world)

As the title says. I believe Reddit has been using shadow bans to quiet dissenting opinions that aren't inherently breaking TOS.

Had an account since 2012 get perm banned last year because I dared to say Neo-Nazis don't deserve to enjoy anonymity. Made a new account and they found it again a few months ago. They really didn't like how much I hate Nazis, I guess.

I'm not in good company if I am participating in a platform that is staffed by Nazi sympathizers. So I finally said goodbye to that shitass website.
