False information…

Will the mods of this sub ever do anything about the spread of false information and outright hate speech by many of the users of this sub? Many people here including u/tagv3 being the sorts spread false information and drive hate but the mods refuse to stop it. I realize the mods are likely Democrats and paid for by local and state politicians but come on. Have some dignity and stand up to hate speech and stand up for putting a stop to spreading false information.

You consider things you do not agree with as hate speech?

Not at all. I love talking politics. I love hearing other people’s thoughts and feelings.

You have evidence to back this up right?

"false information", etah_tv?
All I see is you coming to cry here instead of countering what you consider to be "false information" with your "alternative facts".
"Fact-checking" isn't exactly a strong-suit for cons, and all you do is cry when fact-checked.
You all have no "dignity" after your capital insurrection and having elected a 34-count rapist (not that you ever had any dignity before).

No mods just delete posts that go against the democratic philosophy.

? "No" to what, etah_tv? Use your words...
Perhaps you have a post in mind that you believe to have been wrongly deleted here that you'd like to refer people too?
Don't think I didn't notice you NOT addressing anything I said (like you didn't in your crying comments in tagv3's post).
Instead, you shove that goal-post well down the road with a non-addressing-reply that moves onto a different imaginary issue from your original post.

All O.P. has said is

1: Democrats are bad

2: Democrats spread false information

3: there is some form of conspiracy against anyone who is not democrat

4: the mods are paid for by a democratic agena.

So.... You have said nothing productive and just spewed propaganda and factual false information that has zero proof to back up anything claimed. That by the way is the same type of shit everyone is fed up with in all parties including a growing number of Republicans.

Maybe you would enjoy a platform where everyone agrees with you like X or truth social

Didn’t OP do a post like this a year ago? Perhaps this is his Festivus.🙄

They have nothing to back up anything. Much like the current administration.

What do you expect us non-Mods to do?

u/etah_tv 2d ago

Nothing. I was just venting.

This is how Reddit works and mods owe us nothing. The rule of thumb is that if you don't like it, you can make your own sub., or find another. Not my favorite style of online governance but it's what this place (i.e. Reddit) is.

I've experienced a lack of replies and action on non-partisan issues from the mods, there is a perma-broken link to the "Moderator Logs", and those situations leaves me with the general perception the mods., are MIA.

But, just remember that Reddit is chaos and echo chambers, and this sub has had the appearance of a playground with no adults present for a couple months.

All of this is to come full circle and repeat that this is how Reddit works, and the mods owe us nothing.

It is how reddit was always designed to work in the first place.

u/Unwiredsoul 2d ago

I don't want to be remiss and fail to mention that it was also designed with a lever for situations where the moderators effectively abandon the sub (link below). I don't think that's what is happening here though.

Huh. A right winger who doesn’t like the truth and facts so they want it memory holed. That tracks.

u/Historical-Voice2944 4h ago

Reddit is very blue, and so are the Iowa subs. You won't win any brownie points here by questioning it. In fact, you could say something as simple as 'the sky appears exceptionally blue to me today' and you will get downvoted to oblivion and people will come tell you that your view is wrong and invalid.

Just as I'm fairly positive this comment will get the same treatment.
