One of my posts to r/Portland was incorrectly removed with the excuse "not related to Portland." in reality it was related however the post was contentious and I was prevented from re-posting. The moderator didn't even pretend to acknowledge a genuine rule that was broken, just simply told me not to post it. After I complained I was muted from contacting the mods. Not to blame you but this is the kind of BS that makes me uninterested in the Reddit community, and uninterested in Portland in general, rife with cancel culture.

>cancel culture The only people I see using this phrase in the way you're using it are people who have consistently behaved in such a way to be "canceled" from multiple social groups after being asked to modify their behavior that adheres to a low bar of social norms and etiquette. Do you fall into this category?

    Do you mind sharing the screenshots of the conversation with the /r/portland mod team as well as the article you tried to post? And if you haven't been cancelled from different social groups in portland, how do you know about how rife the cancel culture is? Can you explain a little bit about how it has affected people you know?

      I'm not sure what benefit sharing the screenshots would have, I'm not trying to out the mod or get vengeance. The video I posted was about a Lake Oswego woman going nuts and verbally abusing some local PD who were handling the situation with elegance. My title was something like "this is why I don't trust when people senselessly dog on the police." It was removed because there wasn't anything specific to Portland or surrending area (not true but ok). I told the mod I would just repost with the title "this is why I don't trust when Portlanders senselessly dog on local police" and was told not to post. No rules broken, just intimidation and censorship. I don't subscribe to the progressive/liberal/left/socialist ideology and I'm genuinely afraid to publicly share that fact in Portland. There are many people in PDX who will violently attack you if they catch wind of that fact. This isn't a secret. It's also not a secret that Oregon outside of PDX and Eugene are generally Red communities. For instance, look at the protests in Portland last year. The counter-protesters were far more disruptive and violent than the visiting protesters, but the typical Portlander wouldn't see it that way. In my own discussions with them, they see Trump supporters et. al. As being fascist and as causing violence simply by existing, thus justifying their pre-emptive violence.

        >I'm not trying to out the mod or get vengeance. Getting the actual conversation and actual article you tried to post gives a lot of context into why you believe you were cancelled. I don't want you to out the mods, I want to understand their side of the story. I've heard your side, and it sounds like the content didn't fit the vibe of the subreddit, as per the mods. They told you that and you threatened to break their rules again. Yes, you were threatening to break their rules. I'd say they gave you a chance, and given this particular story re: mod harassment, didn't want to engage with an aggressive user. > No rules broken, just intimidation and censorship. A moderator of a forum asking you to not do something is not intimidation. It's asking you to adhere to the vibe of the subreddit. The description of the article you tried to post was obviously an attempt at rabble rousing on your part. There are helpful and constructive ways to voice your opinion. If you have consistent trouble doing that, I would consider therapy to try and understand why people see you as aggressive when you try to share your opinion. There's nothing wrong with asking for help when you're struggling to fit in socially, especially if your opinions diverge from the norm. Being different is HARD.

        Which rule is "vibe" again? Thanks for looking into my Reddit post creep, I feel totally weird about you now.

        >Which rule is "vibe" again? The one where they said "Don't do this. It doesn't fit here" and you said "I'm going to do it anyways!" It's very clear why they didn't want you to participate in their community now. You're aggressive, stand offish, and resort to name calling. I wouldn't want you around either. Go to therapy. It will help.

        "It doesn't fit here" and "vibe" are in your head, none of that was ever discussed. The mod said "it doesn't belong here because it's not related to Portland" which is objectively false. As in, factually wrong. And I never said I would "do it anyway", I was trying to find a title that satisfied the mod. I'm tired of this conversation anyway, just another corrupt person in power bending rules for their own favor, covering up injustice, lying to affirm their position, and creeping on people cross-social media. I would even bet you and your mod pals have put me on some kind of watch list. It's disgusting and shameful really, and I'll be calling out moments like this as long as the law lets me. My post objectively didn't break any rules on /r/portland.
