Not left? Banned. Not far left? Banned. Not authleft? Banned.
I was banned from subreddits more often for opposing the open advocation of totalitarianism than anything else.

Same, though my attempt at a pure evil run is to still be super polite to every NPC at every opportunity, but do evil things when it helps min-max.
"Meat" describes wild venison and grass raised cattle as well as factory farmed meat. Factory farmed meat is akin to an animal holocaust, sure, but what happens to deer if we stop eating them is worse than that. First the population explodes, and with increased proximity to each other, diseases such as CWD also explode amongst the deer population. Good grazing land dwindles as deer slowly starve to death while a growing portion of them live as literal zombies due to CWD. The best case scenario is that the wild predators return and torture them all to death by eating them ass-first. There HAS to be a predator to prevent this, and humans are the more humane predator. As a side note, all of those happy grass raised cattle simply disappear without their consumption, because modern cattle cannot survive in the wild.
Influence is the currency of power. As a power mod of the most visible subreddits she would've had a lot of influence over information served to millions of people. She was involved in the silicon valley tech bubble and all of her siblings had careers in tech as well.
Though I wish this were true it is not. Romanian authorities, specifically Ramona Bolla of DIICOT confirmed that the tweet had nothing to do with locating him.
Reddit had a lot of "zombie" content: old popular content that was scraped and reposted by karma farming bots. If you spent way too much time lurking, you'd start to notice that you'd seen almost every post before (probably 6 months prior). It definitely has more real content than Lemmy currently does, which is why we must nourish and protect our precious little sapling of a content aggregator.
How many times must they be sued for this exact thing? It would be nice if they faced some real consequences this time.
I wouldn't be able to adequately and fairly summarize it. The mod being discussed probably spent more time posting new threads than posting comments, but was the first to reach 1 million karma, remained top 10 karma until 2020ish and is still one of the top ranking by karma even though they haven't posted anything since 2 days before Ghislaine Maxwell's arrest. This person isn't someone I ever interacted with either, even though they were a powermod of many of the top subreddits.
One of the most prolific power mods of all time may have been Ghislaine Maxwell. There's quite a bit of circumstantial evidence to suggest so.
Edit: I'm adding a link to an objective, comprehensive analysis of the theory here

Boooooooooo, karma farming is one of the reasons Reddit is the way it is. We don't need bots scraping old posts, reposting them and then other bots posting the top comments from the old post. That along with the totally natural and candid "this product™ changed my life, so let me tell you about it" posts are my least favorite advent of the last decade of Reddit.

I hope the extreme polarization and just general toxicity doesn't last here. I get that Reddit is perfectly designed to split people into tribes, and I hope that's not true of this site as well.
