I really don’t care what starts the revolution, but I’d be pleased as punch if history books of the future had to note that gamers ate the first CEO after he shit on their favorite devs

On Reddit, your account would be banned for contributing to an anti-social atmosphere after two dozen corporate accounts red-flagged this image and reported it to the PR staffer currently operating as the subs moderator.

Industry insiders will pay tens of millions of dollars a year to fight off the bad press of their shitty decisions, while doggedly insisting the market cannot support the salaries of a few middle income developers living in some of the most expensive residential markets in the country.

This is why federated social media is important.

What are you even on about? The guillotine joke is probably one of the most common reaction posts to any corporate news on Reddit. On any major sub it would get thousands of upvotes and there would be dozens of comment replies with the same overused jokes people post every single time like “Ah, back to the classics”, “Time to dust off the old guillotine”, “Eat the rich 🍽️”, “When’s the revolution starting? I’ll bring snacks.”. Pretending anyone at Reddit HQ cares about this kind of thing is peak Redditor behaviour.

Who subs have gotten shut down because Reddit administrators accused the local mods of failing to curtail it.

Pretending anyone at Reddit HQ cares about this kind of thing is peak Redditor behaviour.

The application of the ban rules tend to be arbitrary and highly political. But guillotine jokes absolutely get accounts banned. And moderators who fail to consistently ban certain accounts were targeted for removal very aggressively over the last four years.

I use Reddit. This joke is still insanely popular even on the generic default subs. No one cares enough about this to shut down /r/gaming or /r/funny. Reddit is already pretty bad in reality, there’s no need to fantasize about it being even worse.

This has the same vibe as the hundreds of posts that appear on there every single year around the Tiananmen Square massacre anniversary saying stuff like “Reddit is owned by Tencent!!!1! and they’re banning everyone who mentions Tiananmen Square!!!11!!!” despite there being literal thousands of posts about the massacre on the platform.

Its all about controlling the masses. If everyone is saying something its better to just let it blow over than ban everyone and cause commotion.

Yes, the anti-China trolls love to insist they’re speaking truth to power rather than just echoing a bit of recycled propaganda from the 1990s.

No, that doesn’t change the fact that Rule #1 gets invoked on guillotine posts regularly.

Excuse me, I can’t follow. What do you mean by propaganda?

“Nobody in China is allowed to know what happened in Tienanmen Square. You’re not allowed to talk about it. Everything is censored. Nobody in China knows what happened.”

Pure propaganda. This shit is in Chinese elementary school textbooks. Its about as poorly disseminated and heavily censored as the Kent State Massacre or the Waco Siege or the OWS protests in the United States.

I am glad we can agree that the Chinese government is trying to weave a false narrative that all of that has been instigated by mysterious western powers working in the shadows and as long as people stick to that they will be perfectly fine.

Don’t care about what the yankees have done tho. Don’t know what’s that about all of a sudden.

There’s really no point in continuing this, but again, I use Reddit. I see these posts all the time. I’m not saying no one ever gets their posts removed or banned from communities or whatever, but they’re insanely popular to the point someone like me who uses the platforms every few days sees it all the time.

That crazy, because that’s exactly what I’m saying. And yet we’re stuck here with you calling me a liar.

Why do I do this to myself.

On Reddit, your account would be banned for contributing to an anti-social atmosphere after two dozen corporate accounts red-flagged this image and reported it to the PR staffer currently operating as the subs moderator.

This implies every post of this kind gets the user banned on Reddit. That is verifiably false. If that were true or even common enough, these posts wouldn’t be as incredibly popular on Reddit as they are. Shifting your argument so you can pretend we agree is insane behaviour.

And no, I had never called you a liar until this point. I don’t assume people are liars - extreme world views often lead people to have biased interpretations of reality, but that doesn’t make them inherently evil or liars. Now you are lying, though.
