   @newman that not really the reason, all the moderators are raving communists.

   Any opposition to ANY of the communist vectors get you banned, posts removed, vote manipulation, you name it, every type of censorship is used.

   Reddit is a communist propaganda site.

     Reddit did have a lot more interesting people at one time, but most of them have been driven off. If they posted on any wrong-think subs during the scamdemic, it meant a lot of their posts were retroactively deleted via moderation scripts. It's now filled with a ton of [removed] [removed] [removed]. I wrote about this a while ago:

     The in-group upvoting goes both ways. One only needs to look back at the old Voat and how it did it's "CCP" system to see the opposite happening there:

     ..ensuring these types of communities can only be radically divergent from inception. The same goes for Orange Reddit (hackernews) as well.

     Yea TDS runs both ways. Everyone is focused on getting men out of women's sports and wasteful government spending, which are important subjects/wins. At the same time, the actual number of trans athletes is trivially small, and the CIA is surely allowing the collapse of USAID to make the current administration look good and surely has a backup slush fund for all its important operations.
     
     It's all a big distraction from what will likely be even more spending as Orange Man shows his love for Israel by sending troops to die for it.

     @newman @Max_Imum @Zahadoom

     Some 70 year old geezer managed to find a 20 year old gold digger from the Philippines, and the inept programmers gave instructions that after he kicked the bucket at 81 years old (when she was 31), they need him active for the next 50 years to keep paying her the survivor benefits.

     Sadly, I don't expect many fraudsters to go to prison.

     @newman @Max_Imum @Zahadoom

     Here is an example we are circulating, it is up there with Q-anon's "thousands of sealed indictments".

     Some people are assuming that all of these represent a monthly fraudulent SS check.

     I know this will be a nothingburger in the end, perhaps they will find a handful of people that are receiving social security checks intended for their deceased parent orrelative, but the real explanation is likely to be something mundane like spousal survivor benefits continued..

     @newman @Max_Imum

     That description is pretty spot on for Mastodon as well.

     Our memes are the opposite of a thoughtful discussion, sometimes I end up criticizing those I fundamentally agree with here, because their arguments are so lousy, often displaying a total lack of math understanding, repeating stuff that doesn't pass the sniff test and from dubious sources.

     And @Zahadoom , the raving communists are all over the fediverse, we are banned from the majority of the servers.
