Subreddit Rules:

1 - Follow Reddit's Content Policy

2 - No Off-Topic Posts

Posts must be related to some form of censorship.

3 - No Usernames in Screenshots

Reddit Admins require us to censor usernames out of screenshots and avoid username mentions in text posts.

4 - No Crossposts and/or No Linking other Subreddits in Comments

Reddit Admins require us to forbid links to other subreddits.

5 - No Meta Discussion about any Admin or Mod action on Reddit.com

Reddit Admins have forbid us from discussing any admin or mod action on reddit.com. (this includes posts showing your subreddit or sitewide ban messages.)

6 - YouTube posts must include a TL;DW comment

If you post a youtube video, make a short comment, and explain what is the video about, and how is it relevant to censorship. If you fail to do this, your post may be removed.

Use this space to document examples of censorship. This includes censorship that occurs beyond the borders of this fundamentally bad faith website.

Censorship isn't just when the government violates free speech. It happens whenever content or a point-of-view is removed, blocked, or otherwise hidden, and/or when a person is punished or faces the threat of punishment for his views. That means that, yes, it is censorship when a post or comment gets removed, and, no, the reason for the censorship doesn't change whether or not censorship actually happened. Don't let yourself conflate the justification for any given censorship with the notion that censorship must be unjust. The removal of spam is censorship. The removal of NSFW material in a SFW sub is censorship. Being banned for breaking the rules is, you guessed it, censorship. That all of that is justified is immaterial to the definition of censorship.

Where it isn't immaterial is to the decline into censorship. Hold your definition of bad censorship to a higher standard than getting banned for breaking a rule; nuanced distinction will help you to better understand when you're seeing the decline. Reddit telling conservative-leaning subs that they can't allow screenshots of other sub names, all while they let SubredditDrama provide dozens of intentionally brigade-inducing links in posts every single day is a prime example of the decline. (It's also an example of Big Tech's bad faith antics.)

Don't brigade other subs from here. Don't harass other users. You can't link to usernames, and there are some very sensitive users who you can't even mention. Please don't try to circumvent these restrictions. Don't use slurs or substitutes for slurs. You very much should consider totally avoiding reddit's Forbidden Topic (aka trans people). Reddit, Inc is very butthurt that its view might not be the majority view even within its own echo-chamber.

If you want to stay on this god forsaken site, download any app other than the official app. RiF is a great choice for Android, but there are many other options.
