      Re: the jailbait thing, he wasn’t “a mod”, it was possible to add arbitrary users as mods and they put his name on the sub to mess with him.

      Any more recent censorship you’ll have to ask the other guy, I’ve seen plenty happen in real time over there. Reddit is 100% captured media.

      This is anecdotal, they appeared to be purged. The only way you could check this is with wayback machine. The news appeared to be only 12 hours old and there was lots of noise about it. When I went back to read more it was all gone, I had to scroll for 5 minutes to find a post on best. When I switched over to top there were 4 posts in the first 20 so the story was still very active.

        Regardless, Reddit ALLOWED it. People knew it was a place to get added to trading rings by posting barely legal content.

        R/jailbait should have never been allowed. Even fucking 4chan was banning that shit at the time.

        Thanks! Can you give an approximate date and timestamp please? So it’ll be easy to search through on the wayback machine.
