Full thread.

>It is not up to you to decide if stuff can be posted here. Your and your friends talk about democracy, but what you are doing is profoundly undemocratic. It's closer to fascism, in fact. If you don't like us mods, fine, but downvoting content posted by other redditors because you want to kill the subreddit is plain wrong.
>Some people wanted to take control of the sub. It didn't work. So now they are using a brigade and a bot to kill all content. If they can't grab the sub, they'd rather see it die. It doesn't matter to them that 99% of our active user base doesn't care about their power grab. Edit: and all my comments are downvoted. I got 40 downvotes and 37 upvotes in a thread that's 4 years old. Also this sticky got downvoted less than a half second after being posted. sigh.

Edit: Oh this just keeps getting better.

Edit2: Seeing a few people in this thread got sponge bobed. A reminder: Don't comment or vote in anything linked by SRD...

Hey, /r/technology mods you can avoid all this by redirecting to /r/TsundereSharks =D

Ok looks like the shadow bans are starting to come into effect

/u/honestduane

from this dramadrama

This fits...

WARNING: Reddit admins are selectively enforcing rules to shadowban people who criticise the most powerful moderators in control large chunks of the site, such as qgyh2 and davidreiss666

It is the sticky on /r/conspiracy and so must be true

there are soooooo many sb&s. i'm ecstatic. i think if i keep digging and others keep reporting to the admins the things they see, we might hit a new record. if there is a record at all.

when I get a "Thanks!" with a flash of red in my inbox, it is fantastic feeling. I am a big fan of justice as well as drama

e.g. from linked thread /u/Mimcaster

> "Protesting is a part of democracy." ---> shadow banned -->welcome to reddit

It was about time for /u/honestduane. The guy was working himself up into a revolutionary frenzy:

> What you fail to understand is in the real world if a government is in power and the people do not like their leaders, thy can kill the leaders and overthrow the government; Reddit doesn't allow us to do that

He started out that way two days ago and has done nothing since but attempt to stir up shit. As much as I can sympathize with /r/technology users, this guy was just too much to take seriously. It's not surprising he was shadowbanned; he was probably inciting a downvote brigade or something similar.
