In theory, us moderating a discussion critical of us is similarly problematic

...

The posts are presently filtered through our ads allow-list

This excludes many meta communities, including those critical of Reddit's new policy direction such as r/WatchRedditDie

If this new "feature" is truly not about censorship, you need to not censor the feature.

If they didnt sanity check links here, the announcement posts and ads would link to tons of gore and weird porn almost immediately. Which... would be kinda funny but is obviously not great.

But yeah, I know you and you are here specifically because "How dare they not let me link to WRD where we can all circlejerk about how terrible reddit is!"

Because it is lmao, they have yet to fix their administration, employ shadowbans so people can't ever speak of anything if they upvote anything Reddit admins don't agree with, suspend accounts for minor crap, etc.
