Like with the gore subreddits (i.e watchpeopledie, eyeblech) those subs need media attention first before getting suspended for good.

The one time this happened with me was with Worldnews after I told some racist shithead making derogatory, sexist comments against third world women (specifically, the Philippines, where I’m from) to shut up and stick to gardening. Got permabanned from the sub AND a 7 day suspension from Reddit. Racist guy got no punish of course.

So, it seems like this sort of thing commonly happens with big default subs, because I’ve never had a sub ban coincide with a Reddit suspension like that anywhere else.

Doxxing is against ToS and also just, straight up illegal lawfully in most places around the world, and wouldn’t be acceptable even on Lemmy. So I don’t really see that as an unreasonable ban, even if you had a good reason to say it.

I thought the post talking about the comics.

I’ve seen like 2-3 posts about it with thousands of upvotes that have been up for the last 12 hours or so. Aside from that news, there’s still tons of top posts shitting on Elon. Granted, I do find it very sus that there aren’t more post about the Elon Reddit news.

I’m not telling anyone to go back, buddy. I’m explaining the reasons why this and that happened. That it’s not all due to some conspiracy b.s about censorship whatever.

Edit: I mistakenly thought the post was about the comics in the screenshot, my bad.

Your post got removed probably because it presumably violated Rule 14 of the subreddit on their disallowed submission types.

"Disallowed submission types

/r/Politics is a serious political discussion forum. To facilitate that type of discussion, all submissions must be articles, videos or sound clips. The following are also disallowed:

Satire or humor pieces. These submissions are better suited to /r/PoliticalHumor. Political cartoons can be posted in the Saturday Morning Political Cartoon Thread.

Links that solicit users (Active petitions, signature campaigns, requests for money, surveys or polls).

Submissions that are user-generated content without editorial oversight (ex: C-SPAN clips, selfposts/textposts, reddit polls, any submissions with user created text)

Political advertisements as submissions. Advertisers should buy ad space on reddit.com if they wish to advertise on Reddit.

Submissions which are entirely a copy-paste of the original reporting, or that add one paragraph or less, with a "read more at" link to the original content. Articles or videos that add another take on a subject, or include different verbiage or context are otherwise allowed.

Live blogs/live threads/live articles"

That server error also happens occasionally on their app for basically no reason. It’s not due to any post, I sometimes become unable to see my profile for like a minute before it goes back to normal.

I get and don’t disagree that Reddit is pretty fucking shitty, but not everything has to be or is attributed to some sort of conspiracy on how everything is getting censored because of blah blah whatever. Oh, and breaking a subreddit’s rules and getting your post removed or banned for it isn’t censorship (waaaaaaaay too many people do this istg).

Define “real news”.

(Conspiracy theories don’t count).
