Palantir may be engaging in a coordinated disinformation campaign by astroturfing these news-related subreddits: r/world, r/newsletter, r/investinq, and r/tech_news (redlib.tiekoetter.com)

Reddit’s policy changes have made it clear that providing a platform for the spread of disinformation is a central part of its current business model

I left reddit years ago, what are these policy changes that you're talking about and how do they relate to spreading "disinformation"?

plus banning users who mentioned Musk or Luigi as “violent”

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the new rule to remove and/or ban any comment or person who calls for violence against specific people? I wouldn't really say that's "disinformation sympathetic". Even if it's what you originally said, how does that have anything to do with "providing a platform for the spread of disinformation"?

Also a lot of promoted content is disinformation

Promoted content as in ads?

I’m sorry but I don’t believe you were banned site wide for saying that, and no one has been banned for saying “Luigi is innocent”. Not a chance. Can you please share the ban message and link to the comment?

As for tolerance, well I’m sorry but I think it’s pretty clear that that is right lol. Coincidentally I saw this last night on Twitter:

As we saw with Simone Biles recently, who was attacked by her fellow democrats because she wasn’t pro-trans enough in her vile attack on Riley Gains, the “tolerant left” are anything but. They even like to proudly cite the “paradox of tolerance” at every opportunity.

How can I share a comment that has been removed? The original is not accessible to me.

The ban message usually has the offending comment in it.

The one you just posted clearly states why you were banned from r/harrypotter - you admitted to deliberately reposting content that was removed already. Even if that wasn't the content that was removed, you told them that you were doing it.

Also if you were banned site-wide then you wouldn't have been able to edit that comment in order to get banned from the harry potter sub. So did you actually get banned from reddit, or just from a few subs? Individual mods banning you is different to admins banning you. Your story doesn't add up.

I hate that you're making me even remotely defend reddit lol. Reddit is a far left agenda pushing shithole. You will not be banned from the entire site for saying "Elon musk fuming is fatally toxic". You just won't. Were you actually perma-banned from the entirety of Reddit, not just r/harrypotter?

But no point in further engaging with a bad faith troll.

I bet you believe Trump won the 2024 election with no tampering or unfair purging.

Oh so you think the election was "stolen" do you? I thought that didn't and couldn't happen?

Why? I've been working for nearly 30 years.

How old are you? How about instead of trying to find ways to discredit me and find some "gotcha!" you try and just have an adult conversation? You've already resorted to calling me a "bad faith troll" simply because I said your story doesn't add up, now you're trying to get personal details to try and use that against me? lol

Says the person that unironically said this....

I bet you believe Trump won the 2024 election with no tampering or unfair purging. I don’t think evidence works on your kind of person. Therefore you are unlikely to convince me of anything.

lol. Also says the person who was participating in r/harrypotter lol. I think you are still in the education system, and are proof that it is failing.

The education system was significantly better in my time, which is why I can think critically and listen to opposing viewpoints without getting "triggered" and start name calling and attacking.

We're done here now, right? No point wasting any more time?
