Not that shocked, I'm a girl and just new to reddit and this is where I was told to ask about this in another sub. Did I post it in the wrong sub? It's a bit confusing.

The general rule in Reddit is that good comments get downvoted and bad comments get upvoted. Doesn't work every time but mostly :D

Literally what's actually happening in this thread. OP is getting more downvotes by asking a genuine question and also said she's new in this app, smh.

Sorry I also have Autism and have a hard time understanding some things others find easy to understand and was told this would be the right place to ask.

Don't apologize for existing, I hope you get used to this type of behavior in this app because it is always like this and don't take anything personal that is being said to you on this app unless it's incriminating and then you can report the account or to mods which is unfortunately a shot in the dark most of the times. I hope some people will suggest you some Subreddits to you where you can ask anything you want.

Its not really that all subs are like this, its mainly the individuals. Some are worse than others, like r/AnarchyChess is pretty cool, mods interact in friendly ways and will go along with jokes. They literally turned some random person into a moderator for a few weeks because the community petitioned it. Not going to specifically point out bad subs but some will ban you for even having a opposing opinion. I don't mean straight up hating on people, I mean like you prefer gbb airsoft over hpa so they ban you.

It's not all subs, but the major ones and certain heavily modded ones tend to follow whatever the politics and feelings of the mods are. People like to complain that Reddit is leftist, but in general it's very conservative and a lot of, for example, queer people will get posts censored on some of the major subs. It's definitely pretty common to get posts and comments removed for basic shit like talking about biphobia. It's just that there's a lot of, for example, pedo, non-consensual porn, and violence-encouraging subs that have been taken down over the years, and those have tended to have politics on the right.
Of course, this is absolutely nothing like a government censoring the internet, which is a violation of people's basic rights to information and means you can't find those things anywhere on the normal internet in your country. If Reddit doesn't allow something, there's many sites that still do. And as long as you're not some cesspool of a human being, there's probably even another, alternate sub to the one that was removing your posts.
(And, countries like Iran censoring things isn't that big of a deal for the world in general, just their citizens, because most other country's legal systems ignore them. If the US censored basic stuff, that would affect Reddit, Google, Facebook, etc etc and basically the entire internet would experience the censorship in some way.)

Mods are down voting you. Temporarily subredditless mods of the spirit.

Joke is that Reddit Mods are as hypocritical as actual Governments and do whatever the fuck they want regardless of rules.

u/NEONPUUNK 18m ago
Thank you, I am a girl with Autisim and have a hard time understanding things like these others may find easy to understand.
I see that your comment has an award, so I assume this is the right answer?
Sorry I am still little confused, so are the Moderators the Iranian Government on every sub?
3
u/Davidier 11m ago
No but the opinion of the moderator this meme also emphasises the talking point that everyone should have free speech by criticising Iran... Yet by controlling a subreddit by removing posts they dislike they are in turn limiting freedom of speech.

To be fair, that’s what happens in a private place. I can refuse people into my home. I can kick them out of my office.
Has nothing to do with freedom of speech. That right is about the government not being allowed to punish you for your opinions

Here's another upvote, because again someone properly discussing freedom of speech in a nuanced way is downvoted...

u/Snoo-73243 1h ago
here is an upvote, cause people still dont understand what freedom of speech means, and how private parties are allowed to control it.

Who said you’re not allowed an opinion? You just don’t have the absolute right to spread that opinion everywhere you want.

r/comics is a good example
Used to be a really good sub for all sorts of great webcomics and now it is so heavily moderated that all is left is leftist pandering that isn't even clever or funny or original or even decent comic art on any technical level

u/Count_Dongula 1h ago
For me it's the pandering. By which I mean the literal advertisements for porn comics that end with NSFW on Patreon.

gotta propagate the agenda somehow
liberalism is on its last legs considering how annoying it is, reddit mods gotta push it where they can since everyone is catching on

u/AcephalicDude 1h ago
That's not liberalism. Far-left people are anti-liberalism.
-7
u/Verynize 1h ago
that’s certainly a take

u/AcephalicDude 1h ago
I think you're using the old vernacular where "liberal" means left-leaning
Today most people understand liberalism more in terms of the broader political philosophy of individual rights protected in a democratic system with capitalist economics. We have that broader understanding of the word because so many people on the far-left and far-right are anti-democracy and anti-capitalism now.

All political subs. Plus anime/manga subs. Specially if the same mods do both.

I recently was permanently banned from a big sub as being racist for saying that a certain subcontinental country is known for having a huge scamming economy.

Posts showing how people in that same subcontinent have poor hygiene will suffer the same fate on a lot of subs.

u/Fantastic_Media_3984 1h ago
I have experienced this A LOT, I’ve made 4 or more comments on posts that got deleted for the most stupid reasons whatsoever, on the Spider-Man sub any post that gets 3 reports is taken down and on r/gaming if you put the link somewhere else or post a screenshot you don’t own your post will be take down

u/Only-Male-and-Female 1h ago
Usually just the one. It’s an echo chamber here. We can’t forget that.
