Myths about Social Media

I'm glad to see more of this conversation happening. I made reveddit [1] to provide oversight for secret removals which happen more often than you may think. For example, [2] is an upvoted comment from a mod-verified contributor that was removed, likely without notifying its author.

I wish reddit would indicate to the author when their comment has been removed by a moderator. I don't know if that will ever happen. It seems duplicitous to me to present your content differently to you than to everyone else (see the image at the top of [1]).

edit: This comment was at the top of the thread for about an hour. Now it appears to have been flagged or modded to the very bottom: https://archive.is/LcsL7#selection-5181.0-5225.24

As a dramanaut and troll I salute you good sir. May your internet interactions be only pleasant, may your desk fan blow cool in the summer, and may internet denizens heap praises and blessings upon your name wherever ye go, wherever ye be signed in and whenever ye post.

Thanks. Ironically I think of it as an anti-drama tool. For me, the drama is that removals are very often hidden from their authors, and revealing that puts people back on the same page.
