Reddit Censorship of post comments is completely out of control (youtube.com)

This is a wide spread phenomenon on the platform. Sometimes its just a few comments or even dozens of comments in response to an original comment on a post being grouped together in another button saying (x number of replies) but when you open those replies its either nothing, or significantly less replies than the prompt described. Its mostly all on posts that are political in nature relating to the current fascist takeover in the USA, Luigi Magnione, amazon union busting, anti laborer’s rights legislation, loosening of child labor laws and other topics related to the wider topics regarding disappearing human rights under emboldening fascist authoritarianism. many of us have seen the news articles that mention allegations of reddit censoring comments and giving people violations for liking certain content but nothing is being said about the actual extent of this censorship. But when you can see hundreds of comments being deleted from a post such as this one here, it doesn't bode well for the future

But Reddit sent a mass message to moderators telling them how they were expected to moderate any content praising the extra judicial murder of brian Thompson or calling for more political violence against the bourgeoisie….. and now reddit is sending people the same automated response about how liking banned content is against their policy and can lead tk further punitive action against ones account. Basically threatening moderators with banning of the communities they moderate if they did not follow their censorship memorandum.

Even before this last summer my account was permanently IP banned for a comment on a post about israel/palestine that essentially said international law states an occupied indigenous population has the right to defend itself by any means necessary including violent resistance. And i was definitely not the first to experience such censorship.

it's mind boggling to me why anyone stays on reddit.

I just peruse to see the news but i was ip banned for posting comments critical of israel and supportive of Palestinian resistance about a year ago. Hopefully lemmy gets to s point where reddit becomes irrelevant but it is still in its infancy at the moment.

i doubt reddit will ever become irrelevant considering how much people decry the fascism surpression that typifies other platforms like facebook or twitter; but both continuing to enjoy dominance.
