    Default Reddit too?

    I only used the site from time to time to read the Game of Thrones sections. Had no idea they were involved in controlling things too.

    Anti-Trump Censorship on Reddit Reaches Ridiculous Levels of Hysteria

    The censorship on social media has reached levels that even I hadn't imagined possible. Facebook and Instagram have banned benign comedian and commenter Paul Joseph Watson, probably best known for making fun of "soy boys" and modern art. Seriously, if you haven't watched his commentary on the modern art movement it's can't-miss comedy sure to have you rolling around gasping for air.

    But wait! There's more. Don't miss this one, this one, or this one, especially since YouTube will probably blackhole them soon. PJW and his views on blank black canvasses are so upsetting to the tech gods that he must be deleted and you must be ignorant of his existence. You wouldn't want to be caught snickering at anything the left takes seriously like global warming, carbon emissions, or drinks called "Soylent." Shhhhhh. That's badthink. Stop it.

    But the left has gone even further down the rabbit hole of censoring their critics on Reddit. It's been common knowledge in the community that anyone who posts regularly to r/The_Donald cannot post on a majority of other Reddit pages or they will face an immediate ban. r/The_Donald, for the uninitiated, is a nonstop Trump rally full of funny memes and jokes and cheerleading pro-Trump stuff like this:

    I've been a regular Reddit reader since 2016 and have been impressed with the joviality that continues to bubble to the top there. It's truly a place where people like to laugh. Normally, if a poster on r/The_Donald posts outside the group to another Reddit page, he, she, or zhe is banned from that group silently, without explanation. But what happened recently to a poster made me laugh uproariously. User u/dontrememberu posted on r/offmychest and received the following message from their page bot that could have been written for an SNL skit about overzealous social justice warriors:

    Note from the moderators: You have been automatically banned for participating in r/The_Donald. It systematically harasses people and communities, including this one. The effects of your participation go beyond Reddit, as it heavily promoted the Nazi rally in Charlottesville, and interferes with American democracy. The content you provide to the hatereddit harms all other communities and breaks our rules. We are willing to reverse the ban only if you will completely disengage from these hatereddits. If you will not immediately cooperate with our rules, then do not contact us: we will ignore any other response. If you have any questions regarding your ban, you can contact the moderator team for r/offmychest by replying to this message.

    This is one big reason I do not use the social chat media. They are strictly one-sided
    and narrow-minded.
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    Default We all should avoid those sites.

    I do not use Facebook, Twitter, and the rest of those censored sites. My wife uses FB to stay in touch with other friends....NOT ME.

    The Internet and it's OCTOPUS lines that are so open, and full of miserable people who lie,cheat, and need constant attention...are dangerous.

    The President uses Twitter as a weapon to TROLL the trolls, and he enjoys it. But he has Secret Service protections none of us do.

    The WORLD is a dangerous place where all the kooks are looking to take advantage of STUPIDITY, any way they can.
    I may be older than most. I may say things not everybody will like.
    But despite all of that. I will never lower myself to the level of Liars, Haters, Cheats, and Hypocrites.
