Report Copyright Violation Reddit is preventing me from participating I am on reddit all the time. Never had a problem. This morning I was trying to present a voice of the other side in r/politics simply saying I watched the hearing and it did not line up with the news headlines.



Now, I can no longer reach reddit from my home router. My phone works fine, but when trying from my home IP i get a "our CDN cannot reach our servers"



Me being conspiracy minded, immediately jump to the conclusion that they do not value my opinions being added to the echo chamber.



It's actually pretty scary to think of how easily they could prevent an entire portion of the country from participating in discussions

Report Copyright Violation Re: Reddit is preventing me from participating you're not the only one buddy, it's part of the reason why this place is so successful. reddit is just a way for people to get shamed or belittled in public by anonymous people who wouldn't say the same thing to your face. nobody there cares about objectivity and it's really just a place to meme.

I find it useful for discussing hobbies.



What is really REALLY interesting is that R/politics has a rule where you can only post once every ten minutes. I would start a conversation with someone, and then not be able to reply for 10 minutes. In that time, 5 other accounts would rush in to continue the original persons arguments and basically drown mine out. It is terrifying to think that these big tech companies can control public perception so easily I find it useful for discussing hobbies.What is really REALLY interesting is that R/politics has a rule where you can only post once every ten minutes.
