So, Reddit mod/ admin is censoring anyone sharing a journalist for daring to mention the serious safeguarding issues wrt involvement of family member in the Green Party and then the later conviction for csa.

If this thread goes poof, mnhq need to seriously think about their take on this.

DickKerrLadies · 24/03/2021 06:04

Well, the six of us who are here with our million sock accounts (or whatever the accusation is this week) certainly have been busy haven't we!

So now Redditors know. Interesting.

WarriorN · 24/03/2021 05:59

Wow. This is very concerning

@LemonSwan

Reddit has been sinister for a long time. I had an incident a while back where I was discussing womens rights and had serious issues as a result. Perma-banned, facebook hacked, email hacked, banking attacked, you name it - even my phone was hacked and loaded with altered fbook pictures of my friends covered in meme blood with threats written on it. It was likely an admin as it happened simultaneously with the permaban.

I had to scrap every phone, every machine, change internet provider and have my house rewired to the box, and obviously start all over again on the net. Police reports. The works.

It was pretty serious and now I am very careful where I discuss women's rights or those who might oppose it.

Shock

I cannot wait for Reddit to go public. These people that they've been hiding will have to come out into the sunlight.

So many safeguarding red flags to do with this individual and this is just the stuff we know about.

Surprised the hiring team at reddit have such poor googling skills to not know about previous issues.

Unless...

BlackeyedSusan · 24/03/2021 01:28

...but trying to ban something just drew attention to it. I am shocked at how quickly the banning triggered the spread.

BlackeyedSusan · 24/03/2021 01:24

Someone really does not want to be remembered and linked to their past.

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 24/03/2021 01:23

I just don't understand.

AC appears to have had some very challenging circumstances in their youth. And, no particular qualifications or skills particular to the communications industry. So, why would a huge platform like reddit want to jump in to protect one individual?

MingeofDeath · 24/03/2021 01:14

@ NiceGerbil

I was thinking exactly the same thing

PotholeHellhole · 24/03/2021 01:06

I didn't realise how influential they had been.

They organised the group letter against Get the L Out. www.pinknews.co.uk/2018/07/13/more-than-2000-lgbt-people-sign-letter-calling-for-change-at-pride-in-london-over-anti-trans-protest/

miri1985 · 24/03/2021 00:39

Some of the subs that linked to it are huge. I will be shocked if a mainstream UK/US outlet doesn't pick up the story now

MingeofDeath · 24/03/2021 00:34

This has blown up massively on other Reddit subs. Sunlight people sunlight!

NiceGerbil · 24/03/2021 00:23

How does this person get all these opportunities?

It's very odd.

miri1985 · 24/03/2021 00:23

Holy Streisand effect! In response to the censorship a load of subreddits have gone offline in solidarity and are linking back to this thread

This is the list of subreddits that have gone offline because of this, all are linked back to that blank-cheque post

"It later became apparent that Reddit has hired this individual as an Reddit admin, and were banning people from discussing her past to protect their employee from harassment."

Says it all really

unwashedanddazed · 24/03/2021 00:09

www.reddit.com/r/ukpolitics/comments/mbbm2c/welcome_back_subreddit_statement/

The mods have carefully not named the admin in question and warned of the consequences of doing so. They have, however, headed the thread with a huge photo of the unnameable one. Grin

NiceGerbil · 23/03/2021 23:49

Thing is that more and more people are noticing.

This behaviour, seen over and over again, is so obvious. And counter productive. I don't understand why a. They think that this sort of thing is a kind of obvious thing to do and b. Not realising it draws attention and gets questions asked.

I don't get it at all.

eurochick · 23/03/2021 23:34

This is so sinister. This is all stuff that is already all over the mainstream media. What legitimate reason can there be for deletion (none). So what is the non-legitimate motivation (this is the question that Reddit should be asking but isn't).

TheRabbitOfCaerbannog · 23/03/2021 23:16

Why do they behave like this? I get it being exciting to be able to hack something but why is it porn?

Power.

NiceGerbil · 23/03/2021 23:15

'Particular Reddit threads were targeted with certain material (which I can't specify here) '

I'm guessing illegal obscene images.

Just reminded me. What is it with men being so prone to this sort of thing?

www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-15333600

www.rt.com/news/485443-zoom-porn-singapore-teachers/

www.thesun.co.uk/news/14083332/estate-agent-ad-board-porn-prank/

And on and on.

It's always blokes.

Why do they behave like this? I get it being exciting to be able to hack something but why is it porn?

And related. Why do they draw their cocks over everything?

I suppose it's similar to flashing? To cause upset, shock etc

Julie Bindle is tweeting about it.

LemonSwan · 23/03/2021 23:07

They are sick.

So sorry!

I would close that email tbh.

It is an awful thing to go through. Very high stress. You will get through the other side Flowers
