   Time to fight back. If you are a #moderator on #Reddit, I've posted some automod code to blacklist Oligarch-controlled propaganda sites like #x and #facebook. Let's not drive traffic to their walled gardens that don't respect facts.

     @BeAware
     Since almost every subreddit is run by independent mods who can determine what they want to include, that's absolutely false. But hey, if it suits your agenda to wholesale dismiss an entire universe of content, we know where YOU stand.

     @AmericanScream tell that to the mods that got kicked out 2 years ago during the 3rd part app exile...so yes, I DO stand against that corporate bullshit.

     @Sibshops @AmericanScream reddit's business model, just like every other social media, is entirely based on value that the users make with their posts.

     I don't agree with any company that turns the customer's content into a product with no benefit to themselves. Even some social media sites pay creators a small amount based on ads or other monetization methods.

     Reddit is just a leech.

     @BeAware @AmericanScream Honestly, I was kind of on Reddit's side on the paid API change. They still have to make money and keep out bots. The mods making their subreddits private was kind of harmful to reddit, in general. So I wasn't at all suprised when admins stepped in.
