Welcome to reddits “moderated” GME subs, looking back at part 1 and additional information
Part 1 TL;DR: censorship is different per sub and at some subs remarkable high (see table at the bottom). We should find ways to make the community more resilient against censorship. Addition: roughly one day after part 1 reddit admins deployed censorship rules to the least censored sub.
In the first part I showed that most GME subs are heavily deleting posts. This in a range from 5% up to 60%. While the biggest subs (65k-876k members) range from 5-37% deleted posts. I found that one GME subreddit still allowed tagging subs or users, which was banned by reddit admins roughly a day after my post.
It is claimed that certain theories or authors are suppressed. Since it is not allowed to link to certain content or users, which in my point of view already is censorship, we will apply a workaround for further evidence.
We’ll take the GME subreddit with the lowest deletion rate (2%) which at the time post had roughly 10.5k subscribers. For the ten top posters of this subreddit (https://subredditstats.com/r/[INSERTSUBHERE]) we’ll check their deletion or orphanage rate with other GME subs (https://www.reveddit.com/y/[USERNAME]/?all=true&showFilters=true&removedby=anti_evil_ops%2Cmod%2Cunknown%2Cmissing%2Corphaned). Just counting results starting at least at 20 posts and comments per sub content deletion averages around 11-17% and even peaks at 41% for a single user in one sub.
Due to the nature of reddits removal mechanism those users might not even be aware of the removal or orphanage of their content (see post 1).
So, we should find ways to make the community more resilient against censorship, which necessarily needs platforms outside of reddit.
GME Jungle is sus as well? I thought pink was a top notch person. She was one of the first early advocates about DRSing.
At least there are some things very suspicious. E.g. a post of me got shadow banned in the Jungle mentioning that Fidality got a stake in Discord. I learned of this only when I did this DD.
Further there is a deleted post promoting switching from plan to book while also KEEPING fractionals, which in the light of heatlamp looks strange "Don't feed the hedgies like I accidentally did. You can keep fractional shares enrolled in the plan to keep from selling them, and that also keeps the account open that enables you to buy more" (http://web.archive.org/web/20211222202615/https://www.reddit.com/r/GMEJungle/comments/rmdy5s/book_vs_plan_at_computershare_yes_there_is_a/).
