Reddit removed the Madison post lmao

Update: the post is back, maybe people mass reported it and the bots took it down? I don’t know.

87 comments

EDIT: It seems the removal got reverted and the post brought back.

It seems Reddit is removing it from everywhere, even the one in pcmasterrace got nuked. It would be interesting to know the reason, but we all know how transparent Reddit's sitewide moderation policies are.

- I do NOT regret ditching Reddit, seeing how Spez the lemur boy is trying to shape discourse over there.

  Its amazing reddit didnt collapse when Spez was caught editing peoples comments that were critical of him.

  I don’t like that Spez guy

  What does Spez have to do with lemurs?

- It may be his fans' effort to massreport it directly to admins avoiding local mods. It's not hard to imagine vs direct request from LTT.

I could maybe understand them locking the post. However, I don't see a reason for them needing to delete the post.

- It was the Reddit admins, I don’t know if there’s been any proper explanation, but apparently it might be related to self harm references in the post.

  Most likely LMG sent a request to have it removed for vague reasons that don't have to hold up because there is no public record
  
  And, while it ignores so many other boards that are straight up about death and mutilation, the self harm aspects of the stories may technically trigger a rule. Argument that if she cut her own leg to get a sick day then that is self harm and thus this is removed for "wellness" reasons.

- If there's one thing that's consistent about Reddit, it's that it's inconsistent.. There are many Reddit decisions that baffle everyone.

Fuck you LTT army, I archived the reddit threads multiple times. Go pound sand and LTT.

- ~~If you want to upload it here, I support it. I don't have time right now, but we could work something out.~~
  
  Never mind, it was added back (and it is being ratelimited heavily). However, there is a post about the removal too.

  Reddit's Anti Evil Operations is literally Evil. You can't make this shit up.

Her story isn't profitable. Not like Linus, profitable to reddit, so we see reddit being spez being a removed.

- Really throws me off seeing removed Is it just b i t c h? Can you see it if there’s spaces between the letters?
  
  Inquiring minds want to know 🧐

  It might be that's your client is replacing it. If you can see it on the web, it is.

This is different than the admins of the subreddit removing it right?

35
- This is the work of the Reddit's (site) admins, not the subreddit moderators. In fact it seems it is getting removed site-wide.

  Legal got a notice. Linus is losing money.

  Probably mass reported by Linus fanboys. Bunch of fucking weirdos. LTT forum is rife with such chuds.

- Subreddit mod removal would show [Removed].
  [ Removed by Reddit ] is done by the site admins or AEO.
  
  In regards to comments with the former you could still see your own comments, for the latter even as the author you would see this message, making an appeal nearly impossible too. And the AEO monkeys ban you for literally anything.

- Admins > Mods > Users
  
  Admins are like the gods of the site. They can do anything in any sub.
  
  Mods are like the demigods of their specific domain (just the sub they are a mod of).
  
  Users have no power whatsoever.

- Nice! But ltt doesn't control the sub (I know it's a joke)

OOL, what was this about?

- You can find more information in the post "Madison on why she quit" in this community.
  
  To give a really short and unworthy TLDR Madison was an employee of LMG and have shared her - honestly abysmal and abusive - experience working there.
  Some noteworthy quotes:
  
  I was asked about my sexual history, my boyfriends sexual history, "how I liked to fuck".
  
  I was told that certain issues were "sexual tension" and I should just "take the co-worker out on a coffee date to ease it out"
  
  I was told I was chunky, fat, ugly, stupid. I was called "retarded" I was called a "faggot"
  
  My work was called "dogs--t" I was called "incompetent".
  
  "I think the reason you try to be funny, is because you lack any other skills." smiled then walked away.
  
  I watched co-workers get what I had asked for weeks before they did. It took 2 months to get mine.
  
  Also apparently some managers didn't like me because I "hadn't gotten drunk with them before" Which was said in that haha just jokin (but actually I'm serious) tone
  
  I sincerely invite you to read the whole thread where she shared her story: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1691693740254228741.html
  
  It seems that the Reddit admins are currently deleting all threads that link to Madison's experience.

  I was asked about my sexual history, my boyfriends sexual history, "how I liked to fuck".
  
  I think Reddit might have automatically taken it down based on user reports and the content policy due to this part being taken NSFW?

  Thank you! I read most of it in snippets but this is much easier to follow. It's so terrible and was what prompted me to unsubscribe.

  Wow. Thank you very much!

- On top of the other shit going down at LMG for their sloppy to the point of unacceptable journalism (like screwing up numbers, ignoring manufacturer recommendations, selling prototypes of unreleased hardware without manufacturer consent), an ex worker at LMG also came forward about the working conditions there, including allegations of sexual harassment and sexual assault.

  selling prototypes of unreleased hardware without manufacturer consent
  
  This isn't true. They didn't sell the prototype, they sold it at an auction. Entirely different, apparently.

- An ex-ltt employee alleges harassment. Screenshots of the twitter thread where the employee talks about their experiences are being removed from reddit. Lemmy screenshots of that thread are here: https://lemmy.world/post/3269857

- There is a post here with Madison's tweets (basically identical reddit post there as well)
  
  1
- She was basically harrassed, bullied by co workers and leadership did nothing
  
  She was overworked and so on
  
  Thats the gist of it.
  
  Its a lot of tweets. And theres a lot of details. I read it all and i would have quit too. Probably sooner than her.
  
  Glad she is out of there. Seems like the worst "tech" place to work ive ever heard of.

Probably. The Linus taint sniffers on Reddit are insufferable

Not true. It still shows up for me on the website.

2
- It seems the deletion got reverted.
  
  12
  
  Or there was no deletion at all.

- Might be a region specific block, consistent with the possibility of litigation
