> Angry "The _Donald" members accused Reddit leadership of modifying or otherwise censoring their posts — which turned out to be correct, when Huffman posted the following comment, confessing that it was him personally who was performing the changes.
I knew this sort of thing was going to happen and stopped using most social media.
These new platforms like Twitter, Reddit, Facebook etc are devolving into the same sort of ban happy in group out group tribalism you get on irc channels Where some clique has all the oper accounts and anyone who has even the slightest disagreement is banned.
I would rather use a much smaller bbs or forum that does not censor rather then a huge social media platform where anything you say could get you booted if it rubs the censors the wrong way.
- BipolarElsa 10y agoI got banned from /r/pizza for critiquing pizzas too harshly. Seriously? The walled-garden, clique, circlejerking is no fun at all.

- generic_user 10y agomost, not all. hn is a small forum compared to those others.
