  Anyone starving was a matter of policy.

  Couldn’t some of those over-taxed Irish have chosen to fish or hunt instead of depending on one crop?

  There’s a reason why fringe parties tend to remain on the fringe.

  The Chromium browser code is open source.

  Mods who have a history of frequent ban overturns…

  Reddit mods don’t even have to answer your request for an appeal. So their bans are never overturned.

  MS Edge allows extensions that Chrome does not. It still fully supports uBlock Origin.

  I switched from Chrome to MS Edge and don’t have that YouTube ad-blocking issue with uBlock anymore.

  How is any of this right wing?

  Plenty of trans people are right-wing Trumpers. Some of them are quite popular with plenty of videos on YouTube.

  Mods get to control the political narrative of their subreddits by banning those with opposing views. That makes them more powerful than admins. As an example, Reddit has been so flooded with pro-trans mods that it’s almost impossible to make an anti-trans agenda post in most subreddits without being banned.

  The user numbers were bogus anyway since Reddit didn’t automatically decrement the user number after banning a member. The banned member had to manually unjoin the subreddit. So the membership count was inflated with banned members.

  Mods get to control the political climate of their subreddit. Those with a political agenda would pay for that privilege.

  Bro just DCA bitcoin. Done.

  It’s extremely difficult to double your investment with BTC if you start at this point. There are far better stock market investments out there now.

  Allowing opt-in moderation attracts mods with an agenda. That’s a big problem with Reddit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site”⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Allowing volunteer mods was dangerous enough. Allowing those mods to have unlimited subreddits was a magnet for agenda-driven operatives. The changes don’t really do enough to get rid of mods with an agenda.

  BTW, once a Reddit mod permabans you, there’s no way to appeal their ban. The mods can simply ignore your request for a review. Also, after you are banned, Reddit doesn’t decrement the membership count. You must unjoin on your own. So its membership numbers are inflated for each subreddit.
