I was posting some comments on Reddit, in the “Privacy” subreddit, about better privacy options than Android or iOS—like GrapheneOS. I just received a message from the bot deleting my posts that mentioned GrapheneOS or other privacy-friendly operating systems. I accept this, since I’m not the owner of the subreddit. But with all due respect, what’s the point of having a place to discuss privacy if comments recommending great privacy-focused OS alternatives get deleted? I don’t get it.
It seems like people in that community want privacy, but apparently not enough to have an open discussion about alternatives. Sure, some people might disagree—that’s normal in any discussion! Should we stop talking about the NSA because some people support what they do? I doubt anyone would suggest that.
Am I missing something here? Maybe I just don’t understand the reasoning.
I got perma-banned and modmail-muted for talking about the rule, not the OS itself. The moderators are a bunch of absolute fucks and don’t give a single shit either. I did not break the rule, but got perma-banned. Then got perma-banned from Reddit for “ban evasion” because I messaged the moderators about my wrongful subreddit ban. My appeal was denied. Fuck em.
They’re as crazy as Musk. My whole household got permabanned because we used the same device for our accounts, and one person was suspended for some reason. They then accused us all of ban evasion and permanently banned us all.
its such shit honestly.
