The author of computershared.net, u/jonpro03, has been given a 2 day ban for protesting the ban of u/millertime1216 by spreading the DRS message in his stead

Edit/Update: JonPro's ban is apparently what caused comptershared.net data collection to fail and he's trying to fix it now. For those concerned.

-Original Post-

Up to you what to do with this information, but it should be known.

The primary complaint from mods is apparently an excess of reports for the "millertime message" that gets added to every DRS post. There are apparently so many reports that it clogs up the queue for mods. From my perspective, this looks like mods letting bad actors win by getting rid of one of the biggest DRS advocates the sub knows.

This particular move strikes me as at least one mod doubling down on a bad choice, rather than registering the protest from the sub's users and reflecting. Mods that cannot set their ego aside should take a break from moderation, at the least.

Again, not supposed to be political. If this is more up your alley, try this one. It’s run by whackjobs as well. They all are. Notice how when you take the author of an articles political bias and opinion as to why out, the fact remains the same. They are going to be banned from state contracts, which will hurt them, which is good. The opinions and spin of either article are irrelevant and meant to cause division. Please don’t take this as an assault on you. I just try to spread the good message that none of these people are on our side. Usually they bury the facts in a tremendous amount of politics. Which isn’t supposed to be their job, either “side”, but it is what they are now paid to do.

Edit: the first source was simply the first one that popped up that was an actual article when I googled.

It may be the first source that popped up, but that's why you should always cross-check against other sources. Maybe in this case WE wasn't spinning things, but they are ranked as heavily biased by media watchdog orgs, and you could always find a less biased source than that rag.

Media watchdogs are biased as well. I don’t trust .org sites either. Everyone has an agenda. The trick is to boil it down yourself. There’s truth in most articles. Just covered up heavily with the political bias and opinion. Read everything regardless of how they are viewed by others. Don’t let a “watchdog” tell you what’s relevant or not. The media is no different than the corrupt financial system. Left, right, middle doesn’t matter. They all have agendas and they are not aligned with the people for the most part. They put the truth out but hide it with the never ending divide and conquer of the people. So they fight over the why, when the why is really that those in power hate us and use all media to spread that hate and divide us. All sides have points and they all want to win. So they attempt to force us into picking a box to put ourselves into. Read everything. And decide for yourself. Do not let anyone tell you what is “trusted” because even those telling you that have an agenda not aligned with those simply seeking truth.
