True

True for most social boards.

If a moderator "has your number" and it becomes personal.........the moderator can become childish and limit your postings.

There are a lot of new Mods on Reddit - I agree, a lot more being blocked!

Reddit and Nextdoor have to be the two most censored platforms.

Most of their mods and workers are college kids based in cities like San Francisco. Actually, Nextdoor is based in San Fran.

FB and Instagram aren't much better.

I found that since Elon bought Twitter/X it’s the closest you're going to get to free speech.
They have specific communities like Reddit but they are so many years behind Reddit’s sub-community.

I also find great independent journalists on X that don't have an agenda like the corporate media.

I have been on TOTV since April and never been "allowed" to post. No reason given. I think as a new member my application was being reviewed. Wonder how long that takes?

Looks like you posted.

Looks like you have five (5) posts total.

If you ask vague unanswerable questions, like you just did here, that could be why.

I’ve noticed that villages news has lots of responses that are offensive to various people groups, yet is set up to cancel responses that break their obscure policies. Certain words will lead to a post being canceled. Also, as I recall, some names of businesses or references to web sites or quotations from web sites, especially if they include blue type (links to sites). It could be that you were asking questions from a site set up in a similar way. It can be hard to know what is allowed, and it can be frustrating. Ask us.

Why not post the clear question here? Seeing what was actually asked would help to figure out why it might have been blocked.

One site it’s seems you complaining on every search through internet search engine and it finally came down to one Reddit.
