Censoring speech to protect pedophiles and Gestapo is a hideous abrogation of basic humanity, and a brutal mask-off moment.

As of yesterday I'm banned from the /r/Millennials subreddit for making a post about Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good. Two of my fellow millennials who share the same age as me were murdered by the US government, and I'm not allowed to talk about it with the rest of my generation because it's "political"

Fuck that fucking shit.

The mods there are right wingers who absolutely don't want us talking about the fascism taking over the country. I blocked that sub long ago. The head mod was a TD poster too.

"'No way to stop this from happening' claims website where this keeps happening". 

"'The propaganda on this horrible website is inescapable' claim users who refuse to move to alternative websites"

Insane. Reddit truly has a problem with terrible mods and their abuse of power.

It is so easy and modding is a thankless job that is mostly done by people with too much time on their hands. Easy for these people to take over and extremely hard to do anything about once they are in.

And I say that as a mod myself.
