#292Not dystopian sounding at all: Please do not name this individual, at all. Doing so may result in your account being banned by the admins. Please do not ask further questions about this, as doing so may result in your account being banned by the admins. Please do not discuss this incident on Reddit publicly or privately (e.g. on private subreddits and/or in private messages, chat etc.), as doing so may result in your…
This is why I don't & never will have a reddit account. I have heard the mods are very quick to ban people & even whole subreddits for ridiculous reasons. That & security reasons. It's astonishing how much personal information becomes available from being on reddit. See www.redective.com.

Maybe don't hire a known child rapist/torturer if you don't want to be hated.
We're in agreement that knowingly associating oneself with pedophiles deserves a degree of opprobrium. However that does raise the question, how much opprobrium? The person in question probably suffers psychologically a great deal. Who wouldn't if they were dealt with the double-hand of gender-dysphoria and a pedophile father? I think it is safe to conclude this person is not well. Does the world really stand to gain…
> Does the world really stand to gain much exposing a fringe activist to the opprobrium of the entire world?
In this case, the person being shamed for endorsing pedophilia was hired to manage a communities of children. She hired a child rapist, married an admitted pedophile, and now (as demonstrated by this incident) has the power to control what media many children are exposed to.
I’ve no problem with her getting a job that doesn’t involve kids.

#294There're reports that Reddit is editing user comments before deleting them
https: //www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/mbd6q1/the_green_partys_woman_problem_the_spectator/grxxbzx/
As far as I know Reddit doesn't maintain previous edits, so this is also a cover up, and it prevents any recourse.

#295This is not doxing in any way is it? The person is using their own name, is a public figure, posted about their activities on twitter and can be easily Googled. Would reddit ban anything about this if the person in question was not an employee? I understand the concern about harassment, but should anyone be able to get off reddit if they want to? Let's say Roger Stone wants no mention of himself on reddit, should he…
It's not doxxing. It's Reddit employees abusing their power to try to protect "one of their own". It's pretty bad if it's true.
And apparently HN is allowing it to happen here to because all the threads related to this keep getting flagged into oblivion.

> shit Ellen Pao got, and she was basically doing a decent job. Those were different times, were the Ellen Pao situation to happen right now again I don't think things would go the same way as they did the first time. This reddit admin person also has the advantage of being a trans, and trans people are the new token individuals (have been for one year and half - two, I guess), I can't see Reddit the company not taki…
> and trans people are the new token individuals You have to be totally detached from reality to actually believe this. Have you not paid any attention at all to the number of anti-trans laws being brought in a number of US states? There's been over 100 in 2021.
Wow, 100 anti-trans laws in 3 months? Have a link?

#297I think the unwelcome article is probably this one, since it is easily found with a Google search suggestion: "Aimee Challenor G[raham Linehan]". NB the final picture is Challenor dressed as an infant (dress + teddy bear). Most other images are cartoon drawings from fetish/furry sites. https://grahamlinehan.substack.com/p/ashton-challenor-the-bo... (I'm posting this link as it seems important to the discussion. I'll…
That's such an incredibly vile article, it pretty much amounts to cyberstalking. It's pretty disgusting how he morally grandstands after digging out the fetish content of a really troubled 15 year old: > Whilst we might recognise that Aimee Challenor is a tragic victim in this mess, we must remember the positions of power and influence he held and how quickly and easily he reached them. The Spectator is equally vile…

Not sure if linking profile archives here would count as doxxing, but the troubling content continues into at least 2018, when she would have been in her 20s.

Aimee Challenor is apparently a Reddit employee. This is why Reddit is banning her mention. Seems extremely sus to me and why we can't rely on private companies to protect things like free speech and equal access to information.
It's almost like the people who thought of the first amendment didn't see 99% of speech going through private companies at some point in the future. My snark isn't pointed at you, just at the people whose talking point is "first amendment is about the government!"
They own(ed) the companies.

> No one is saying transition is a "regrettable outcome". Actually a lot of people say that, cf rhetoric about "a lifetime of hormones and surgery". As someone who has had surgeries and expects to be on hormones for the rest of their life, I think what I did to my body was good, not bad.
dilate
I realize you're a troll trying to bait me, but dilation is not something I have to do as a result of my surgeries, no.

Because after she was thrown out of the green party she said ‘transphobia’ was the reason she was being thrown out, presumably in an attempt to deflect from the real reason. The real reason was that she recruited her father as a campaign manager while knowing he was being charged for sexual offences, and he would eventually be convicted of raping and torturing a 10 year old child which was held captive in the attic o…
My jaw just hit the floor. Wow. Reddit should be ashamed if this is true.
That's true, but what does this have to do with Reddit?
