Reddit Censorship of post comments is completely out of control (youtube.com)

This is a wide spread phenomenon on the platform. Sometimes its just a few comments or even dozens of comments in response to an original comment on a post being grouped together in another button saying (x number of replies) but when you open those replies its either nothing, or significantly less replies than the prompt described. Its mostly all on posts that are political in nature relating to the current fascist takeover in the USA, Luigi Magnione, amazon union busting, anti laborer’s rights legislation, loosening of child labor laws and other topics related to the wider topics regarding disappearing human rights under emboldening fascist authoritarianism. many of us have seen the news articles that mention allegations of reddit censoring comments and giving people violations for liking certain content but nothing is being said about the actual extent of this censorship. But when you can see hundreds of comments being deleted from a post such as this one here, it doesn't bode well for the future

And right now we are seeing s large surge of users transitioning away from reddit to lemmy as a result of this censorship

-- and onto increasing centralizing instances where they duplicate reddit's behavior.

They yearn to be moderated by Jordan Lund 🤡

I was going to say I've already seen a surge in Lemmy moderators copying Reddit moderation.

I wonder if there's a way to tighten up moderation. Like let the mods pull their bullshit. But have it up for review by the subscribers who can vote monthly to remove them and permanently ban those mods from the community.

Like how Reddit use to have it so you could access the comments after they were removed. So people don't necessarily have to view them but they would be available for anyone who wanted to know what was removed.

Oh oh oh what if moderation was only allowed for a certain amount of time. That time ticks down but the community can vote more time. But that time always runs out.

Just thinking of ways to prevent like Marvel PR teams from taking over and turning places into absolute fucking hellscapes of "what is your favorite super hero costume" posts 4 times a month.
