Conclusion: Banout 2018 has been shutdown after they were told to wind their fucking necks in by the Admins

kowbrandt · 2018-09-14T06:16:58+00:00

What they were doing seemed a bit past trolling to me. Very systematic censorship of any remotely opposing viewpoints goes a little bit beyond trolling in my opinion.

--Edog-- · 2018-09-14T08:14:51+00:00

Update: Comedian Owen Benjamin was just banned from livestreaming on Youtube because of a community violation for showing "pornography" - the "porn" in question was a clip of Bonobo monkeys having sex, and was a clip (from YouTube) of a documentary by David Attenborough. Shit is getting real.

My original post: I think at some point the left wing/sjw cencorship in the tech world is going to naturally (edit: lead us to) two seperate online worlds; one that tolerates free speech and one that doesn't: FB, Reddit, Youtube are all turning into "big brother" It's time to start planning an eventual exodus (edit: to more tolerant platforms) and using social media to turn it into a mass movement. Edit: For those who are not understanding my post: the people that care about freedom of speech need to migrate AWAY from repressive platforms TO platforms that SUPPORT free speech and non politically correct ideas. FB, Twitter, Youtube, AND Reddit are NOT committed to free speech/ideas anymore.... and I think that they are only going to get more oppresssive and restrictive as tme goes by. Tl:dr It's looks like it's time for large numbers of freedom loving users to move to social media platforms that support free speech. Reddit is no longer one of those places.

Insomniacrobat · 2018-09-14T08:00:37+00:00

But the right wing subs are still being shut down. The only difference is there's no longer a hub subbreddit (BanOut) where people actively targeting right wing subs are congregated. At least not publicly. But the ends they seek still remain and are still being carried out. The subs BanOut targeted are still shut down. The accounts still banned. The comments still deleted.

BanOut:2018 is still very much active. Now it's just hidden. Be wary.

Edit: I go into further detail on this and connect some dots further down the thread.

perverted_alt · 2018-09-14T08:56:40+00:00

and they don't need it complicated by idiots with an agenda.

Except that's who is behind almost all these bans, going back a long time.

We've fallen QUITE far from reddit's original premise. Just sayin.

Insomniacrobat · 2018-09-14T09:49:40+00:00

Forgive me, it's late, and I haven't slept.

The BanOut: 2018 initiative targeted racist right wing subreddits to shut them down. The questions are:

1: What constitutes as racist, as there is a legitimate problem with the left calling those that don't agree with them racists, or even citing factual accredited statistics as racist.

2: Were any anti-white, or other racist pages or accounts targeted? Is there a list available of the subs and users targeted by BanOut so that we can go see for ourselves what the racist content was that warranted banning?

The fact that this BanOut initiative goes at least all the way to upper management in Reddit staff, Director of Policy at Reddit, Jessica Ashooh, who comes from a pretty questionable background in this instance; so that means that Reddit in some regards supports this initiative, and being they're a left leaning site, that's concerning, but not all that surprising.

That coupled with you "contacted a certain admin to let him/her know what I was going to do." This admin who also works for left leaning Reddit, gave you the go ahead to troll the BanOut initiative to get it shut down. Which is kind've a funny thing to do for someone who legitimately believes the pages and accounts Ban:Out were targeting legitimately were racist.

My theory I posit here, is that this was all an inside job to erase evidence and connections of Reddit staff and others to BanOut: 2018, as nothing changed besides the centralized hub and all evidence of BanOut was destroyed. Everything (pertaining to my questions above about what constitutes as racism) that was targeted and banned by BanOut is still banned. No subs have been restored, no users reinstated. BanOut is still very much active, but now it is invisible, and every connection to those who participated in it, and everything they (potentially falsely) deemed racist has been erased. This was an inside job to cover asses and hide agendas.

OniiChanStopNotThere · 2018-09-14T13:14:16+00:00

What? the sub isn't banned, it's private, there's a difference.

Admins will never ban sjw subs because the admins agree with their radical agenda.

Uhtred_McUhtredson · 2018-09-14T08:08:04+00:00

r/JordanPeterson said they’re moving to r/theblackout2018

So get ready for round 2?

lowercase_capitalist · 2018-09-14T08:01:54+00:00

They got greatawakening which was their target. The rest was cover. 100 percent political to minimise fallout from the fisa abuse scandal before the midterms.

Pilliam66 · 2018-09-14T08:39:30+00:00

This Mustaka fella loves sucking himself off. Can anyone say "self esteem issues"?

mike4thekite · 2018-09-14T15:39:36+00:00

The bannout was a covert way for the owners of reddit to remove subs that were unfavourable to the owners...they used patsy's or stooges to project the idea that it was organic and community driven so they don't face the libel laws that will ensue if platforms start to overtly support opinions.

toxic_masculine_guy · 2018-09-14T06:16:16+00:00

Why didn’t their sub get banned though? Leftypass...

48LawsOfFlour · 2018-09-14T17:23:10+00:00

I will admit it was a good troll on their part.

No, sorry, this was just more "I was just acting retarded" bullcrap.

It was a legitimate campaign attempt that was horribly miscommunicated.

It basically misfired from the very beginning. The idea was supposed to be getting frequent users of "wrongthink" subs banned on other subs-- not getting the "wrongthink" subs themselves banned. This was supposed to happen for one day, like the protest blackouts of the past. Their name was stupid though so everyone misinterpreted it.

Instead of just admitting their idea/name/group was stupid and scrapping the campaign, they then switched into "It was just a joke" mode with all the stupid troll rules/posts on that sub. Stupid idea, stupid people, stupid coverup. Your post was the only funny, actual trolling in the whole thing.

AllahHatesFags · 2018-09-14T20:53:10+00:00

They should ban r/TwoXChromosomes for being a hate sub.

WeAreEvolving · 2018-09-14T13:49:01+00:00

I'm grateful for the banout 2018, I was able to see a list of subs I was missing out on and subscribed to them all.

Wild_Hunt · 2018-09-14T12:04:42+00:00

I have in my possession a copy of the message from the admins.

Let’s see it

NotBruce_ · 2018-09-14T13:54:41+00:00

Shane764 and the other power mods who put their names to this have caught a very stern and explicit warning about doing this type of thing.

Doesn't matter unless their accounts are terminated.

GimmeDaScoobySnacks · 2018-09-14T14:39:38+00:00

Sooo when are the oppressive mods behind the whole Banout thing going to get banned? I mean it`s only fair they take their own medicine.

Relgabrix · 2018-09-14T17:12:29+00:00

You did it. You saved reddit. Youre a goddam hero. Now let all of this go to your head, have a mental breakdown and go jack it publicly in San Diego.

But for real, well played. Fuck you too.

Mustaka · 2018-09-14T07:24:10+00:00

It gets better. Butt hurt trump supporter hack media outletbigleaguepolitics.com posts a story about all of this with links to the now dead sub.

Even better have a look at this screen shot of the screen shot on the news article.

Someone put this on r/iamverysmart I'm at work

Everlastcanada · 2018-09-14T18:26:19+00:00

My 2 cents worth.... maybe social platforms (Reddit included) should be considered essential for democracy and free speech and thus need to be protected as such? All parties must stop censorship period end of discussion. Now that they are deemed essential for democracy, constitutional arguments can be applied against censorship, and for free speech, etc.

Social media needs to be humbled and reigned in. They have been useful idiots. They are undermining freedom and democracy every single day with treasonous behavior. Remember google Facebook and others are not elected but they weild great power - enough to disrupt nations

VioletUser · 2018-09-14T10:02:38+00:00

Going to call this subreddit being the next to be banned. Thanks mod for painting a target on our backs.

Clbull · 2018-09-18T08:25:23+00:00

The admins need to ban these mods, not tell them to cut it out. Running auto-banning scripts on this scale is a literal breach of the rules that they're ignoring.

kaesylvri · 2018-09-14T17:15:13+00:00

I don't understand why or how this related to pussypassdenied... but I had no idea what 'banout' was to begin with, so there's that.

Why is Mustaka trying to fellate himself with this 'accomplishment'?

Edit: Since the incel that tried to troll-response deleted the thread and resulting responses, just to be clear: after someone was kind enough to PM me the actual explanation, I'm happy that they were gone/shutdown/whatever. I preserved what I wrote above for transparency.*

apatheorist · 2018-09-14T08:03:56+00:00

Does this mean the subreddits they got banned will come back?

Robx9001 · 2018-09-14T10:59:52+00:00

Kys op

FarTooLong2 · 2018-09-14T11:07:29+00:00

I'd love to know who pulled the plug on r/greatawakening. Got to be a feminist, a Jew or a Clinton.

Counter-productive though: reddit has now signalled its desire to be regulated by the state in order to protect free speech. What a shitty, stupid move. Reddit is turning into JewBook, JewTube, Joogle and JewGram all rolled into one.

LyricThrowAgay · 2018-09-14T14:28:44+00:00

FreeSpeechWarrior · 2018-09-14T20:37:36+00:00

Both the government and private companies can censor stuff. But private companies are a little bit scarier. They have no constitution to answer to. They’re not elected. They have no constituents or voters. All of the protections we’ve built up to protect against government tyranny don’t exist for corporate tyranny.

Is the internet going to stay free? Are private companies going to censor [the] websites I visit, or charge more to visit certain websites? Is the government going to force us to not visit certain websites? And when I visit these websites, are they going to constrain what I can say, to only let me say certain types of things, or steer me to certain types of pages? All of those are battles that we’ve won so far, and we’ve been very lucky to win them. But we could quite easily lose, so we need to stay vigilant.

I closed the subreddit because I still had an ounce of respect for the admins.

AggressionSsb · 2018-09-14T14:39:01+00:00

Cringeanarchy is actually worse than sjw in terms of offense content. The difference is people on sjwhate were doxxing and brigading. We wont be banned since we havent broken any rules and cringe wont be either.

ArchieBunker_IV · 2018-09-14T11:43:12+00:00

We need to start our own campaign of banning subs. Give them a taste. Fuck principles. This is a knife fight

DarkDoesThings · 2018-09-14T13:20:10+00:00

So the banout has been stopped?

Fuck yeah

DarkDoesThings · 2018-09-15T01:09:03+00:00

And now they are only going after drama (which might violate harassment rules) and TD (which is just the president's fan club, really)

Maybe drama is a sub that should be disciplined, but TD hasn't done shit.

Doggo_of-the_stars · 2018-09-15T03:10:18+00:00

So....are the banned subs gettin unbanned
