I am no MAGA TRUMP LOVE type supporter. I try to be a centrist, a proper one with proper devil’s advocation. That being said, even r/centrist over there is very obviously on the left.
I made 1 comment ever on r/trump which I am not even subbed to…
Here is them muting me for my shocked reply:
I mean, it’s Reddit. What did you expect? This has been status quo there for years. Maybe don’t use it, or accept the that Spez is a piece of shit and each community can decide it doesn’t want crossover from other communities.
But really, is blocking people who have activity in another sub so different from a mastodon instance defederating from another instance? Just in a shitty Reddit way?
I agree but with your second paragraph, the question: Por qué no los dos?
Yes, it’s kinda ill-natured on both. I dont see why that takes away from another (if that is what you’re implying, sorry if I misunderstood).
Defederation and limiting posting for certain users on Reddit are in no way ill natured. To suggest it is, is no different than Elon Musk’s “freedom of speech absolutism.” People who go out of their way to personally start a community have the right to draw a line (not including protected classes) as to who can join their party.
You are seeing the consequences of engaging with the worst of Reddit.
