I am not a preacher man, but can I get a "Shame"?

I SAID CAN I GET A SHAME?

@gnaddrig Exactly. The criteria are so vague—or so buried in automated moderation settings—that no one can tell if you’re violating policy or just violating someone’s comfort zone.

That uncertainty is the censorship. People self-censor because they know the rules aren’t really rules—they’re vibes enforced by bots or burned-out mods.

@theaverment
The cartoon doesn't look like political satire to me. More like direct criticism of Reddit's moderation/filter practice.

Mind you, it's totally legitimate criticism a platform like Reddit should be able to accept.

@gnaddrig Appreciate your thoughtful take. For context, this was the image I originally tried to post. Definitely closer to overt satire, but also stylized enough that it shouldn’t have triggered any filter—yet it did.

I’m starting to think the problem isn’t what you say, but whether you’re allowed to say anything at all.

Satire is Dead. The Algorithm Killed It.

This cartoon was removed by Reddit—for being exactly what it said it was: satire.
No names, no parties, just a comic about moderation.
Apparently, that’s political now.
