Apparently being anti-2A is profitable....

Reddit has been censoring the fuck out of their platform for a while now. It's just been mostly subtle. If you so much as type "Luigi Mangione" on Reddit your comment gets shadow banned. Nobody else sees it. Even if it's in a reply to someone else, your comment just vanishes into the metaphorical aether. Feel free to test this yourself, just pay attention to the views your comment gets.

Now that their AI Mods have gotten better, the censorship is simply ramping up. The endgoal is to present one single viewpoint in all major media. That includes social media. You've seen it happening in all left leaning media for a while now, from Reddit to the Washington Post.

Welcome to the Age of Disinformation.

Actually, what's profitable is being anti-2A only after turning a blind eye long enough to amass a wealth of data that can be sold to train AIs to detect/block 2A content. I really wish the folks in the FOSSCAD replacement subs would realize that every post and comment they make is going to ultimately be used to improve anti-2A tools.

I wish people would do better than to bow to reddit and try a new community

Move on, they're just going to keep banning everything.

Same with all the old irc gun channels. They've almost all moved to discord, which is just as bad as reddit. Meanwhile our free speech network has like 10 active users lol

Damn.. I missed out on that.

I've been an IRC guy since the 90's and still hang in a chan or two all day. I should have thought to do a web search on "gun irc" a long time ago before it was too late.
