This was forbidden by the OWNERS of website, not the subreddit moderators. They forbid certain keywords in comments. The content of the forbidden message:

 

Donald Trump / White House has lost “Hearts and Minds” to Vlad Putin / Kremlin information warfare, KGB / FSB mental manipulation has won the Hybrid Warfare against USA / NATO

 

Rewind to December 2013 when this information warfare started

 

Please study this December 20, 2013 story in The Atlantic about Putin’s announcement of gender topics being the way he is going to manipulate the world in information warfare.

December 20, 2013

Vladimir Putin is calling on the conservatives of the world to unite—behind him. The Kremlin leader’s full-throated defense of Russia’s “traditional values” and his derision of the West’s “genderless and infertile”

    The other day I was looking through posts on Lemmy and came across a long list of posts solely linked to reddit, for the purpose of sharing reddit content. I think to be appropriately rid of these negative influences Lemmy should consider blocking links to these predatory sites.

      If they copy the content of the Reddit over to Lemmy and other places, I think that’s a good thing. Public resources of information, Usenet roots of social media, are incredibly important. Reddit (content) isn’t built upon private social media, it’s primary public shared social media, and preservation and community accessible content (advertising free on Lemmy) is valuable to the whole World Wide Web / Pale Blue Dot. We need more and more Wikipedia style content that is contributed to all humanity and not so many people obsessed with egoism and self-centered content creation.

        Agreed. Let’s just eliminate the link so that no clicks go their way. I love Wiki but self-centered comments have their place. I think getting people to question the whole fandom paradigm would be a healthy add on.

          Really? I said: “many people obsessed with egoism and self-centered content creation”

          And you support this? Egomania like Elon Musk?

            They instill many emotions that are helpful in promoting discourse. Not all but you have to take the bad with the good.
