Update: the post is back, maybe people mass reported it and the bots took it down? I don’t know.
You must log in or # to comment.
EDIT: It seems the removal got reverted and the post brought back.
It seems Reddit is removing it from everywhere, even the one in pcmasterrace got nuked. It would be interesting to know the reason, but we all know how transparent Reddit’s sitewide moderation policies are.
I do NOT regret ditching Reddit, seeing how Spez the lemur boy is trying to shape discourse over there.
Its amazing reddit didnt collapse when Spez was caught editing peoples comments that were critical of him.
I don’t like that Spez guy
That boy ain’t right.
I tell ya hwhat, this spez fella is a dumbass.
He’s a real jerk!
I heard he’s a whiny little piss boy!
What’s a reddit
Bad, centralised lemmy clone
A bit like Lemmy, but without blackjack and hookers.
Where are the blackjack and hookers; for research.
on lemmynsfw
In fact, defed the lemmy!
I think it’s a bit like a lemur but orange
Nothing, what’s a reddit with you?
What does Spez have to do with lemurs?
Same stare in their eyes.
Yep. Big, buggy, disturbing eyes. I’m surprised they’re not yellow.
It may be his fans’ effort to massreport it directly to admins avoiding local mods. It’s not hard to imagine vs direct request from LTT.
I could maybe understand them locking the post. However, I don’t see a reason for them needing to delete the post.
It was the Reddit admins, I don’t know if there’s been any proper explanation, but apparently it might be related to self harm references in the post.
Like they give a shit about that.
They care about any liability that stems from this.
Spez can’t have his employees getting any bright ideas to mutilate themselves for a day off
The majority of the work is done by volunteers.
Well if we’re going to be specific, they care about legal exposure and maximizing their profitability.
Most likely LMG sent a request to have it removed for vague reasons that don’t have to hold up because there is no public record
And, while it ignores so many other boards that are straight up about death and mutilation, the self harm aspects of the stories may technically trigger a rule. Argument that if she cut her own leg to get a sick day then that is self harm and thus this is removed for “wellness” reasons.
“Please limit your suffering to approved forms of expression, thank you”
If there’s one thing that’s consistent about Reddit, it’s that it’s inconsistent… There are many Reddit decisions that baffle everyone.
Removed by mod
If you want to upload it here, I support it. I don’t have time right now, but we could work something out.Never mind, it was added back (and it is being ratelimited heavily). However, there is a post about the removal too.
Reddit’s Anti Evil Operations is literally Evil. You can’t make this shit up.
expired
Her story isn’t profitable. Not like Linus, profitable to reddit, so we see reddit being spez being a removed.
Really throws me off seeing removed Is it just b i t c h? Can you see it if there’s spaces between the letters?
Inquiring minds want to know 🧐
It might be that’s your client is replacing it. If you can see it on the web, it is.
Wait I got tricked by mine never mind lmao
Lol no worries! It’s apparently a lemmy.ml thing to censor biiitch but I’m curious of the censors limits and what other words are on its list.
linus litigation tips
Nice! But ltt doesn’t control the sub (I know it’s a joke)
This is different than the admins of the subreddit removing it right?
This is the work of the Reddit’s (site) admins, not the subreddit moderators. In fact it seems it is getting removed site-wide.
Legal got a notice. Linus is losing money.
I still don’t get why is that reddit’s issue. Is the general public not allow to discuss ongoing events like these, it’s never been an issue before? It’s probably just mass bot spamming of reports for these threads, but I’m surprised local subreddit mods cant overrule it.
C-suite types have a club. You’re not in it. Neither am I.
Probably mass reported by Linus fanboys. Bunch of fucking weirdos. LTT forum is rife with such chuds.
Subreddit mod removal would show [Removed].
[ Removed by Reddit ] is done by the site admins or AEO.In regards to comments with the former you could still see your own comments, for the latter even as the author you would see this message, making an appeal nearly impossible too. And the AEO monkeys ban you for literally anything.
Admins > Mods > Users
Admins are like the gods of the site. They can do anything in any sub.
Mods are like the demigods of their specific domain (just the sub they are a mod of).
Users have no power whatsoever.
OOL, what was this about?
You can find more information in the post “Madison on why she quit” in this community.
To give a really short and unworthy TLDR Madison was an employee of LMG and have shared her - honestly abysmal and abusive - experience working there.
Some noteworthy quotes:I was asked about my sexual history, my boyfriends sexual history, “how I liked to fuck”.
I was told that certain issues were “sexual tension” and I should just “take the co-worker out on a coffee date to ease it out”
I was told I was chunky, fat, ugly, stupid. I was called “retarded” I was called a “faggot”
My work was called “dogs–t” I was called “incompetent”.
“I think the reason you try to be funny, is because you lack any other skills.” smiled then walked away.
I watched co-workers get what I had asked for weeks before they did. It took 2 months to get mine.
Also apparently some managers didn’t like me because I “hadn’t gotten drunk with them before” Which was said in that haha just jokin (but actually I’m serious) tone
I sincerely invite you to read the whole thread where she shared her story: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1691693740254228741.html
It seems that the Reddit admins are currently deleting all threads that link to Madison’s experience.
I was asked about my sexual history, my boyfriends sexual history, “how I liked to fuck”.
I think Reddit might have automatically taken it down based on user reports and the content policy due to this part being taken NSFW?

Thank you! I read most of it in snippets but this is much easier to follow. It’s so terrible and was what prompted me to unsubscribe.

I genuinely have no idea. Not even the mods there seem to know, but it was brought back, so maybe an error - or automatic script - of some kind? I fear we’ll never know.

You are very welcome. I can only hope that the current visibility of her story will help others, in similar situations of distorted power dynamics, understand that what they are living is nor normal nor acceptable, and give them the courage to right it.
Wow. Thank you very much!
On top of the other shit going down at LMG for their sloppy to the point of unacceptable journalism (like screwing up numbers, ignoring manufacturer recommendations, selling prototypes of unreleased hardware without manufacturer consent), an ex worker at LMG also came forward about the working conditions there, including allegations of sexual harassment and sexual assault.
selling prototypes of unreleased hardware without manufacturer consent
This isn’t true. They didn’t sell the prototype, they sold it at an auction. Entirely different, apparently.
Ah, so they didn’t sell it, they just sold it. Gotcha
No, no. They auctioned it. Selling it to the highest bidder isn’t selling. It’s ‘auctioning’.
At leats that’s what I gathered from Linus’ explanation. LOL

They didn’t sell it at auction, they sold it at an auction for charity. Entirely different
They didn’t sell the prototype, they sold it at an auction.
So why say LMG didn’t sell the prototype?
They’re taking the piss out of Linus’s own justification. Linus himself was the one to use this semantics argument unironically.
Because selling to the highest bidder, isn’t selling. It’s auctioning,
And that’s different somehow, at least according to Linus’ explanation of this whole thing. I think we can trust Linus on this one, he has a proven track record of accuracy and honesty. LOL
An ex-ltt employee alleges harassment. Screenshots of the twitter thread where the employee talks about their experiences are being removed from reddit. Lemmy screenshots of that thread are here: https://lemmy.world/post/3269857
She was basically harrassed, bullied by co workers and leadership did nothing
She was overworked and so on
Thats the gist of it.
Its a lot of tweets. And theres a lot of details. I read it all and i would have quit too. Probably sooner than her.
Glad she is out of there. Seems like the worst “tech” place to work ive ever heard of.

I am so out of the loop, wtf is going on there?

She cut her leg open and needed staples to get off work is some crazy bitch shit.
Stigmatization of mental health is some crazy bitch shit.
How does that stigmatize it?
Calling someone a crazy bitch is sus.
When you use gendered insults like that, you are showing your biases. Especially that one.
Schmoo was being ironic.
How does that make sense in the context?
Its generally frowned upon to call a mentally ill person a “crazy bitch”.
What a blessing to not know and understand what circumstances put people into that position
See here:
Probably. The Linus taint sniffers on Reddit are insufferable
And now a word from our sponsor, Fun Factory!
Goddamn Reddit, you have no business diving on this grenade.
Sounds about right
I read lamao as “lamAaoooh” in Madison’s voice.
blessed
legal request?anti-evil team lmao. linus cia tips
Not true. It still shows up for me on the website.
It seems the deletion got reverted.
Or there was no deletion at all.
Sure. There’s no reason for you to trust my word: Here’s a comment from the moderator of the LTT subreddit saying that it was indeed deleted and then brought back: Archived snapshot Link | Reddit comment permalink
You are welcome.
EDIT: Added archive.org link.
Appreciate it. The moderator’s comment shows I got it wrong. Considering how promptly the post was taken down and then put back up, it might have been an automated action triggered by reports. To be honest, this lines up with the not-so-great LTT fan community. Sad.
it might have been an automated action triggered by reports.
It could well be, but knowing how terse and opaque the site-wide moderation is on Reddit I fear we will never really know. The important thing is that it is now back and even if it was a clumsy attempt at censorship by some of the fan base, as you hypothesize, it failed.
Clearly he’s in on The Big Lie too
It was deleted, I was looking for that thread, and it was no where to be found. Then surprise it’s back
It was deleted, there’s tons of posts about it on the subreddit and it was also gone when I checked earlier
Might be a region specific block, consistent with the possibility of litigation
