Go ahead and add reddit into the mix as well. It's starting to be really concerning only a few people control these important discussion and meeting places, and exercise (often) power abuse from such a position to push their agenda. History isn't pleasant, that doesn't mean reddit and YouTube should be white washing it.
- bafflingworld 7y agoThe sheer amount of pro-Chinese government moderators on Reddit is absolutely insane. So much dissent being either erased or forced into "megathreads." This is not how we should be reacting to genocide.
- betterbeehome 7y agoThanks for helping me think differently about megathreads. political containment and pruning is the result.
- bafflingworld 7y agoYup, another classic tactic is a moderator stepping in and doing some variation of "This thread has gone out of control! Locked." This has become very common in Hong Kong threads. I strongly believe that TenCent needs to be rooted out of U.S. tech and media, and fast.
- betterbeehome 7y agoI'm starting to come around to the idea of rejecting Chinese investment. They clearly have a negative influence. See Hollywood, political coverage, historical programming, video games, current affairs... If nothing is done, in a few decades they'll have manipulated the entire social political landscape of the West. All of us will be using the Social Credit system. Worse, we'll defend it, too. Future is bleak if we do nothing.
- calimac 7y agoI mentioned the hypocrisy of the reddit ceo Steve Huffman's answer to an Ama he was holding and my account was deleted a half hour later with no email no explanation.
