Vibes. Got it.
My take: removing API access and banning mods who protested saying that this would centralize tooling (removing 3p access), plus banning users who mentioned Musk or Luigi as “violent” are clear indicators that they are disinformation sympathetic, despite the primarily “left wing” seeming content that remains. Also a lot of promoted content is disinformation, as can be seen in minutes of browsing.

I mean, usually people don’t say “I am disinforming you, hah!”. We can only rely on that weird feeling that something isn’t right.

I’m not sure what you interpret from the words “policy changes” but they dont usually refer to a weird feeling.

Funny that’s exactly what they said in Germany, 1930’s ish.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t the new rule to remove and/or ban any comment or person who calls for violence against specific people? I wouldn’t really say that’s “disinformation sympathetic”. Even if it’s what you originally said, how does that have anything to do with “providing a platform for the spread of disinformation”?
Promoted content as in ads?

Officially yes. I got banned for saying “Musk fuming is violently toxic”, site wide and permanently from 6 subreddits. Others got banned just saying “Luigi is innocent”. Try it out. That reads more like quashing free speech to me.
Disinformation in the ads, yes. Also front page stuff making past moderation. Today in r/science I saw “Democrats are less tolerant of Republicans than vice versa” and a load of unscientific hogwash.

I’m sorry but I don’t believe you were banned sure wide for saying that, and no one has been banned for saying “Luigi is innocent”. Not a chance. Can you please share the ban message and link to the comment?
As for tolerance, well I’m sorry but I think it’s pretty clear that that is right lol. Coincidentally I saw this last night on Twitter:

As we saw with Simone Biles recently, who was attacked by her fellow democrats because she wasn’t pro-trans enough in her vile attack on Riley Gains, the “tolerant left” are anything but. They even like to proudly cite the “paradox of tolerance” at every opportunity.

How can I share a comment that has been removed? The original is not accessible to me.
Here’s all I have (happened in justguysbeingdudes, and 4 others):
Hello, You have been permanently banned from participating in r/harrypotter because your comment violates this community’s rules. You won’t be able to post or comment, but you can still view and subscribe to it.
Note from the moderators:
Deliberate repost of content removed by by Reddit. "[This comment was edited in protest to Reddit banning me for the following “violent” comment: “Elon musk fuming is fatally toxic.]”
If you have a question regarding your ban, you can contact the moderator team by replying to this message.
Reminder from the Reddit Admin team: If you use another account to circumvent this community ban, that will be considered a violation of the Reddit Rules and may result in your account being banned from the platform as a whole.
But no point in further engaging with a bad faith troll. I bet you believe Trump won the 2024 election with no tampering. I don’t think evidence works on your kind of person.
