Edit: Oops, it is /r/Tennessee, not /r/ProgressiveHQ

A screenshot of a poster on Reddit /r/Tennessee trying to post about the election, and a mod removing the post while not really pretending there's a good reason to remove it

Tennessean here who tried to organize on my state/city subreddits. Can confirm this kind of partisan censorship is not new.

A while ago I made a innocuous enough post on my city's sub about a "Release the Epstein Files" billboard that went up and was paid for by our local Mobilize chapter. Within an hour it was the most upvoted post of the past month. Within 2, it was removed without reason and I was blocked and banned permantly

    We need to be careful on Lemmy. Only the fact that the moderators and admins have goodwill are keeping Lemmy from becoming like Reddit. If Lemmy gets big and starts attracting people who want to pay to take over communities, that will stretch the moderator goodwill to the limits.

    This is why Reddit is garbage and anyone that still has an account on there is only fueling the fire. Fuck Reddit and their mods

    That is why Lemmy exists. And I hope that even more people will start using it since new harsh Reddit policies have appeared.

    Wow. Just fucking wow.

    Does Facebook and X do similar types of censoring when it comes to the Republican agenda?

    Or is it somehow easier to install them as mods on Reddit subs, making it appear to be more “grass roots” without blaming the platform itself for censorship and bias?

    I guess of fb you have “groups” (as opposed to subs) where you could install similar “mods.”

    Facebook, Twitter and Reddit all have a history of silencing by shadowbans and most people have no idea. There's a billion different ways to silence you on each of these.

    I'm not surprised the amount of propaganda here in Tennessee about that race is staggering.

    I'm not in that district... But we still have commercials, radio and television along billboards and small signs.

    So much spin both sides.

    Lets be clear though, reddit is only worse than lemmy because it is centralized by one group of douchebags.

    Lemmy has plenty of shitty moderation too, and arguably is worse at dealing with it within any given instance due to the lack of proper mod tools, the way posts that are deleted remove entire comment sections from being accessible, the lack of any appeals system and I'm sure a few other things I don't remember off the top of my head.

    Its a people problem, and its a style of organization problem with this style of forum.

    If I recall a similar thing happened to the San Antonio subreddit. Something like it was taken over during the mod revolt, and the new mods seem to have very specific interests.

    The mod of a fascist sub about a fascist state of a fascist country on a fascist website is behaving like fascist? I’m shocked.

    They have been playing ads on TV consistently for them. Hers saying she wants to help try to keep health insurance available, not get premiums raised and help the people of Tennessee.

    His saying she's a radical that was opposed to ICE agents and trying to bully them by blocking them with her car.

    His ads have nothing policy based ever said, because it sounds like none of his policies help the people. I guess he is pro tariffs or something, idk

    Abandon Reddit and leave it as a Government of Putin cesspool filled with Russian shills. If the Volunteer Oblast votes for Van Epstein, fuck them too for protecting pedophiles, rapists and felons.
