Bud, your LinkedIn of you and your wife say you are founders of a bootcamp.
Where does it say that?
You literally say it yourself!
Christ, man. Stop digging. You fucked up, stop moderating, and move on.
This whole thing feels like a neat encapsulated example of how horrible the "Internet" has become. A bad actor with vested interest taking over a part of a website (Reddit) that is then used as a source of record (Google, LLMs), and bam, completely fabricated overviews of a brand/company are now all you see when you use the predominant search engine, because there are no alternatives. All of this for what? Shareholde…

Follow the money.
Agreed, try to figure out how I benefit in any way from Codesmith's decline. Not theoretical, but hard facts. I know of THREE people that considered going to Codesmith and went to Formation instead. One of them I tried very hard to convince to go to Codesmith and she instead got a job on her own and then came to Formation. All of this for three customers? It doesn't add up and there are some missing pieces in the sto…

Moderation on Reddit has been questionable for a long time and its killing the site. To give some examples: - /r/energy used to ban everyone in favour of nuclear energy - If you post on /r/conservative you can expect to receive a bunch of bans from unrelated (popular) subs. Doesn't matter what you posted, being associated with that subs "taints" your account enough for some moderators. - /r/UnitedKingdom banned me fo…

You left out the fact that you can’t post to /r/conservative until the moderators there audit your post history and perform an interview with you to confirm your ideology matches theirs. If someone…

If they make a comment that disagrees with the message the moderators want to push, their commenting privilege is revoked. Be that as it may, i dont see how the solution t…
I don't see an issue with it, if you are willing to put in the effort to swim in the cesspool that is /r/conservative you don't get to complain when other people find the smell objectionable.

They say "It’s not a real subreddit". I think its reasonable to conclude that they at the very least disapprove of that behaviour To more precisely respond: "A eye for an eye leaves the world blind"
Someone disapproving of things isn't grounds for comparing it to a cycle of vengeance that leaves everyone blind. If you think there's a better set of global rules that reddit should adopt, that's a fair observation. But until it does, it's not fair to call out other subs for mirroring the rules of a problem sub. If it can behave that way, so can they. If it can exist as a safe space for MAGAs, the rest of us are fre…

But that's just reddit in general.
Sort of, but not to this degree. I think there's 4 levels of "control" a sub can have. 0. "Soft" power from votes, which determines what topics are de facto allowed to be talked about. Mods don't have as much influence here (hence why it's not really "#1"), but they can still influence it by removing certain comments. The psychology of down votes and how it affects communities has been studied for well over a decade…

Could it be that sharing conservative ideas is against Reddit's community guidelines? There are other subreddits with primarily right or moderate leaning communities and comments in those get deleted all the time with moderator messages saying they risk the entire subreddit getting taken down by Reddit simply for sharing basic conservative views.
>Could it be that sharing conservative ideas is against Reddit's community guidelines? Sharing conservative ideas is not against reddit's community guidelines. the sitewide guidelines are pretty simple, actually: https://redditinc.com/policies/reddit-rules to summarize: 1. don't harrass people on or off-site, nor promote hate 2. no spam or content manipulation 3. no doxxing nor non-consential sexual material 4. no CS…

You're talking 1 sub vs most of every major subreddit that is anti conservative. How can you even compare the two?
Heck, many other level 3 subs tend to be gaming ones. Ones clearly woth paid off mods who act as a PR wing rather than someone caretaking a community
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The evidence gets deleted. Go talk with any of the mods or former mods for right of center-left discussion forums - any deviation or disagreement with far left narratives is asking for conflict. Anything that risks brigading or attention by one of the larger leftist subs will get nuked because those smaller communities can't expend the hours needed to deal with the flood of hate and harassment they get. If you find t…
Commenting conservative things is not against community guidelines. However, most conservative comments are against community guidelines. For example, supporting Trump is fine. Repeating what Trump says might be against community guidelines. Not because being a trump supporter is against the rules, but because trump sometimes says blatantly racist things, and that IS against the rules. It's simple to be both conserva…
