Has ‘mass deletion of posts because someone behind the scenes ordered it’ ever -not- activated the Streisand effect??

nerril.bsky.social•81 days ago

Fun tidbit; I know someone that works at UHC, and the morning after, the company was in total panic mode. There were meetings ALL the way down demanding employees not talk about the incident at ALL on social media, and one person got attacked for posting a basic "condolences to his family" comment.

Why am I not surprised? It's been going downhill fast since it went public, like many companies that rely on social engagement do.

The CEOs will not put this anger back into the bottle. This is BIPARTISAN anger, the C-Level execs better be paying attention and make some changes. This country has a way too many guns and gun nuts!!!

galaxrasbora.bsky.social•82 days ago

I mean, reddit has a CEO right?

raginggrannies.bsky.social•81 days ago

Why delete? That’s censorship of the people’s outrage

interstelarla.bsky.social•81 days ago

Like this?

kudos to whoever did that preview pic, the way the happy emojis frame the word "saddened" like that

Mods say that Reddit the company is deleting posts that technically do not violate terms of service and which mods do not want to delete

That's our owners deciding we're getting too close to figuring out we're nothing more than farm animals

socialbanshee.bsky.social•82 days ago

Some animals are more equal than others, you say?

jasonkoebler.bsky.social•82 days ago

Many of the deleted posts have thousands or tens of thousands of upvote and comments and comparatively very few downvotes. So essentially the overwhelming sentiment of the community is being censored/deleted. You can see for yourself here: https://www.reddit.com/r/undelete/?count=51&before=t3_1h7buzh

Some of these posts are maybe in poor taste. But the overwhelming majority of them clearly violate no rules and many of them are not even glorifying the shooting. A lot of them are normalish discussion about how fucked up healthcare in this country is

this is really interesting!!!!

People on both sides of the aisle are stoked to see this guy get clapped. The right-wing mouthpieces are desperate to corral their muppets but even the dumbest of red hats are generally pleased with this CEO kicking the bucket. Because deep down inside…. they know it is time.

xanreal.bsky.social•82 days ago

The people are sick of their overlords and their bullshit. Even if some are only capable of feeling this on an instinctive level (red hats). It’s past time the ruling class understand its place. I hope CEOs feel every bit as safe as my nieces and nephews in school. You know. Thoughts and prayers. 🫠

thoughts and prayers require a empathy copay

xanreal.bsky.social•82 days ago

You’re right. Maybe if they ask really nicely and endure days worth of calling around trying to get assistance from various programs while feeling an increasing sense of stress and malaise we can at least give them a single thought and a payment plan for the prayer?

Great piece!! I noticed yesterday that r/medicalbilling was completely banned. Could have sworn it was there a couple months ago so unclear whether it was taken down prior to the assassination or not… do you know 👀

nikkijayne.bsky.social•82 days ago

One of the recent posts on r/undeleted is just someone moaning about their final bill from a different insurance company. Seems like there’s coordinated suppression going on.

sophiasmith.bsky.social•82 days ago

Very cool. I’m sure there’s a totally normal reason for that and everything is fine
