Sure. There’s no reason for you to trust my word: Here’s a comment from the moderator of the LTT subreddit saying that it was indeed deleted and then brought back: Archived snapshot Link | Reddit comment permalink
Appreciate it. The moderator's comment shows I got it wrong. Considering how promptly the post was taken down and then put back up, it might have been an automated action triggered by reports. To be honest, this lines up with the not-so-great LTT fan community. Sad.
it might have been an automated action triggered by reports.
It could well be, but knowing how terse and opaque the site-wide moderation is on Reddit I fear we will never really know. The important thing is that it is now back and even if it was a clumsy attempt at censorship by some of the fan base, as you hypothesize, it failed.
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: lemmy.world/post/3269857
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.
Because selling to the highest bidder, isn't selling. It's auctioning,
And that's different somehow, at least according to Linus' explanation of this whole thing. I think we can trust Linus on this one, he has a proven track record of accuracy and honesty. LOL
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
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.
You are very welcome. I can only hope that the current visibility of her story will help others, in similar situations of distorted power dynamics, understand that what they are living is nor normal nor acceptable, and give them the courage to right it.
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.
I still don't get why is that reddit's issue. Is the general public not allow to discuss ongoing events like these, it's never been an issue before? It's probably just mass bot spamming of reports for these threads, but I'm surprised local subreddit mods cant overrule it.
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.
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.
