Topic: Reddit banned climate deniers, now Reddit Bans Pro-Trump Comments (Read 397 times)
Well Reddit is being pressured by the oligarchs to stop positive comments on Trump so they will be successful in destroying the reputation of President Trump. If Reddit will continue to allow those comments their major sponsors who are controlled by the oligarchs will back off and they will end up in the losing end. It is a conspiracy theory but it is how I see the events not only in reddit but to social media including tv networks.

Honest to god I have a picture from the Washington Post covering this and saying how Reddit changed some stuff around in their algorithms in order to stop The_Donald from getting to the popular page anymore, or as much as it used to for that matter. The people on the subreddit address it everyday and talk about how they're the only real subreddit which isn't controlled by some insane mod staff with their own Liberal agenda.
People have noticed with the Main Stream Media that they can't trust them and they're not a viable source for information, they'll soon notice /all is biased in what they allow to hit the front page. Liberal garbage wants to see their own Liberal garbage I guess.

As usual, the people asking for total deregulation are the ones complaining when a private company acts without their consent...

Reddit is banning the vast majority of pro-Donald Trump posts from appearing on its “most popular” page frequented by new users.
The online discussion site announced it was clamping down on what would appear as “popular” by showing visitors only popular posts from handpicked categories, which would apparently exclude anything from pro-Trump subreddits.
In fact, a graph reveals that Reddit administrators are actively filtering out posts from The_Donald subreddit from appearing in /r/popular; if the filter represented just an algorithm based on what users filtered out themselves, one would expect more posts filtered from r/politics.
Instead, there’s a clear bias against anything pro-Trump, and there’s precedent to believe this is intentional censorship.
Back in Nov., Reddit CEO Steve Huffman vowed to suppress certain pro-Trump posts from appearing elsewhere on Reddit.
“Posts stickied on r/the_donald will no longer appear in r/all – r/all is not our frontpage, but is a popular listing that our most engaged users frequent, including myself,” he wrote. “The sticky feature was designed for moderators to make announcements or highlight specific posts.”
“It was not meant to circumvent organic voting, which r/the_donald does to slingshot posts into r/all, often in a manner that is antagonistic to the rest of the community.”
But Huffman’s justification is overshadowed by the scandal in which he was caught editing comments by pro-Trump users critical of him on Reddit.
He isn’t alone. Since Trump’s election, the largest social media sites including Facebook and Twitter have suppressed Trump supporters – and perhaps even the president himself.
Twitter in particular is apparently censoring positive responses to Trump’s tweets while showcasing the negative ones.
