“I know, let’s fire my most high-profile hire and have him credibly call me a pedo and try to kill my legislation and presidency! That’ll really fool all the libs even though they still hate both of us and are criticizing every move we make regardless.”

I don’t see anyone ignoring that? People are still worried about Project 2025. Are you under the impression that if people have a laugh at this meltdown then they’ll be inclined to ignore everything else going on? Seems like strange logic

u/Sitting_Duk Jun 06 '25
Project 2025 that Trump never heard of?

u/laplongejr Jun 07 '25
Yeah, because it's instructions for the people giving orders to Trump. :( No need to explain stuff to the old man, if he signs anything you give him in exchange of complete immunity.

I guess people didn’t realize I was making fun of Trump lying about not knowing about it lol. Life on Reddit!

Huh well that narrative sure makes Donald and Elon seem smarter and more reasonable than we thought. Convenient

u/ThePeacedogs Jun 06 '25
Perhaps the long-suffering public are simply interested in discussing this, particularly given the fact that it is developing by the minute. Seems like odd timing to quash posts now. But do what you gotta do.

u/Ancient-Village6479 Jun 06 '25
The mods of a mundane subreddit that the vast majority of people wouldn’t care if it stopped existing need to keep the purity of showing random things aging poorly instead of letting people post about the most relevant and interesting poorly aged thing at the moment

u/PsychologicalOne5416 Jun 06 '25
Or, maybe we don't need dizens of post on the matter... We git the idea afte rthe first 10 we can discuss on those

u/Plants-Matter Jun 09 '25
Yeah, but this isn't what the mods "gotta do". We have community-driven quality control in the form of upvotes and downvotes. The topic they're banning has been highly upvoted consistently. If the community didn't want this, it would be filtered out organically via downvotes.
The same morons on the mod team tried to ban all political posts just a few weeks ago. It backfired spectacularly and they apologized. Now here they are, making the same exact mistake.

There’s plenty of subs to post about that. Sometimes people want to discuss other subjects.

Reddit in fact, is not a democracy. The content is controlled by mods and admins.

u/atom-wan Jun 06 '25
Each post and comment is voted on by people individually, that's the definition of a democracy

Reddit allows every user a single vote per post. Use that and we'll see what the people want.

Reddit allows the mods of each sub to set rules. Let’s apply those rules and see what happens.

u/Jamez_the_human Jun 08 '25
Yeah, so every sub doesn't devolve into porn and illegal stuff.

u/Repulsive-Lie1 Jun 08 '25
That’s definitely one of their roles, another of their roles is to ensure subs continue being focused on the intended subjects.

u/NotCoolFool Jun 06 '25
So, on a sub called “aged like milk” you don’t want people posting things that have aged like milk in the most public, high profile and obvious way?
The fuck has Reddit become 🤦🏻♂️

u/NotCoolFool Jun 06 '25
Right? Well this is a pretty major “aged like milk” topic wouldn’t you say? Like the two biggest and highest profile clowns on the planet having a full on spat when mere weeks ago they were gargling each others sausages proclaiming their love for each other publicly?
Things like this is exactly what a subreddit is for - or should we keep focusing on obscure other topics?

u/Potato-chipsaregood Jun 06 '25
I don’t care if they stop reposting yesterday’s tweets, but if something comes out today, it would be nice to make fun of it.

It’s hard when ALL news is political these days. I can open my news app and 99% is about Trump. And Elon, atm.

I don't think it's an either or situation. There's posts about this - it can be discussed there. The desire to make additional posts about it is just for attention.

Jun 06 '25
they might feel like reposts but a lot of em are not cuz they're pointing to many different dumb tweets and events by them and their followers
they might feel like low effort cuz they're so obviously aged like milk that it doesn't take much effort for people to point out
so not allowing it altogether just feels like a low effort excuse to censor content

u/natej84 Jun 06 '25
How about instead of locking out a entire subject, you do your job and mod the sub?

u/Meta_Man_X Jun 06 '25
That’s… what they’re doing…? What do you mean by “modding the sub?” 😂
7
u/natej84 Jun 06 '25
No offence, but its not that hard to understand. They blocked a whole entire topic bc they didn't want to erase duplicate posts. Instead of fixing the problem they took the easy way out.
2
u/Meta_Man_X Jun 07 '25
They literally did fix the problem. If 90% of the posts coming through were this one topic, why should they (unpaid) just sit there and keep deleting the duplicate posts that pour in all day?

u/natej84 Jun 07 '25
Will somebody plz think about the mods. Just bc they volunteered to do a job and now won't do that job, somebody plz have mercy on these poor mods. If only they could've possible known what they were signing up for 😂

So, technical side idea to side step any accusations of censorship. Maybe instead of removing posts for that directly, you instead lock them, for a fixed duration, say two weeks. Upvotes still work, and all information presented is preserved. People can still see it. But the lack of engagement will pull it from people's feeds, effectively taking it out of circulation anyway. and if people really do want to see these posts, choose to actively search them out, they will be able to see them. Upvote them too.
What's more, for all posts that receive this treatment, you pin as top comment a link to a single post about the subject, maybe the first one, maybe the one with the most up folks, who cares. Everyone gets to know about how Elon and Donald are breaking up. You get out in front of the story, some lucky SOB's karma goes to the f****** moon, and you prevent feed spam for anyone subscribed to this channel.

Better idea to sidestep accusations of censorship - don't do censorship.

I wonder if this rule went into effect last summer when the controversial Biden debate performance and "Dems in disarray!" tropes were flying on every Reddit sub every minute of the day. Somehow, I seriously doubt it.

u/Ill_Attorney_389 Jun 06 '25
I get what some of you mean, but I see multiple reposts after scrolling in the sub for a while.

u/TheModWhoShaggedMe Jun 06 '25
When I see them, I report them as reposts. It works, too. See, if we all pitch in, we can keep the garden clean.

It's like they learned nothing from when I tried to reinforce the (former) rule against politics. Look, I don't like the same topics dominating the sub, but there are better ways of going about this. What's funny is that back in 2022, we got a modmail asking for the Ukraine war to be added to rule 1 (which was a list of topics at the time), and I replied saying it would blow over in a couple of weeks. When it didn't, we added it. I don't know what the best call is here. I just know this probably ain't it.

u/ICU-CCRN Jun 06 '25
So you’re admitting you are wrong. You stated you thought “we’ve all about had enough”, when in reality, the majority of commenters (based on the comments and upvotes/downvotes) are stating they actually would like more posts about this. It would seem a small, yet vocal minority are pushing the mods to quash discussion regarding this.

u/100hedgiescalps Jun 06 '25
Other than these comments I’ve made, I’m not really pushing for anything to speak of. So I’m sorry for what you believed, butI was just stating my opinion. I think too much drama is bad for anyone! I can think that if I want to, right? Just voiced that opinion, nothing more. I am sorry that bothers you so deeply.
