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.
From my (not extremely long) experience in that sub I can say that user is an active and helpful contributor with a good reputation. But Reddit is a corporate sewer so... EDIT: I am referring to lo_______ol
Indeed. I have seen lo______ol around for a while now. We need to name and shame Reddit mods. And move more people to Lemmy. Unfortunately, the Reddit boycott didn't go well because normies have a sick compulsion to pardon any and all acts by corporate. Normies are the biggest digital masochists sans exception
Some mods are actually in cahoots with admins, and some admins could be mods themselves
Fucking normies. I don't want them over here. You can call spez a cunt until you're blue in the face (and you wouldn't be wrong) but it's the normies who spent thousands of man hours turning the place to shit.
