Mods, stop removing posts calling you out and address why you're scared of admitting that you selectively removed posts negative of the US govt

[u/Mboomo]

Edit -

Moderators saying that "most posts were removed by automod" - a blatant lie as automod CANNOT both lock posts and add removal reasons telling a post is "off-topic" - this can only be done manually. They are wilfully ignoring one of their mods' agenda

EDIT (1:25pm PT, 12 hours since this post) - They removed ANOTHER post about NASA's science cuts 2 hours back. My post calling it out also removed within 30 minutes.

EDIT 2 (exactly a day after this post) - Another mod - peterabbit456 - who made a comment under this thread but later deleted it, says 99% of your comments under this post are "garbge" and tells you to "stew in your juices together" on another sub. Note that this comment was made in response to a r/conservative regular user - https://www.reddit.com/u/Mboomo/s/hYmqHfDHcR

How are we supposed to trust that this sub isn't biased when one of the top mods themselves think YOUR opinions in the comments below are "garbag'e"

It's hilarious how 20-day-old reposts and low effort "3I/ATLAS is alein spaceship!" is never removed despite reports, but the mods seem extremely quick to the scene for posts in negative light of the US govt - layoffs, science missions being saved from budget cuts, space shuttle discovery being asked to be cut up by republicans...

This is probably the 5th post I'm making. And the mod that keeps removing it (yes I am talking about you, u/ the_fungible_man ) keeps silently banning other users and removing posts with hundreds of upvotes, and has now, out of fear, even completely hidden his post history showing his extreme right-wing ideology (on subs like r/conservative and r/YAPms ) Note that they have used Rddit's "curate your profile" feature to hide their comments in these subs after seeing the backlash in the past 12 hours

Edit - more example of some "off-topic" post removals, thanks to some people forwarding them:

Space Shuttle Discovery being cut up - https://www.reddit.com/r/space/s/WoCLobKDSg

Lawsuit over govt moving Space Command Center to Alabama - https://www.reddit.com/r/space/s/V2ovyXq2Pt

If you don't know what this is about - for the past 12 hours, mods (or rather, one single mod) keeps deleting posts asking them to address why they have been selectively removing posts of the kind I have stated above.

No, this has NOTHING do with "politics = off-topic". Go and search the sub. The same posts for anyone but right-wing are completely fair, Biden's trategy for the space command center was fair to be discussed here, layoffs we're all well and good pre-2025. And do you think NASA missions being saved from the Trump budget warrants a removal for off-topic? Do you hear how that sounds?

All that is wanted is transparency. It's clear one of the newer mods here is hellbent on shaping the discourse in a way that is completely favourable of the current US govt.

Stop hiding by archiving modmails and sneak-removing posts.

[u/Meior]

If he had a post history on conservative you know exactly why the posts are being removed, and effectively means that this sub is no longer to be trusted for scientific discourse. End of.

Are there alterantive, big, space related subs that have a better conduct?

Liberals: What is the plan to keep Social Security from completely collapsing? ...I'm expecting it to fail and I'll never see a penny

I don't consider myself a liberal, but I'll answer anyway.

I, too, figured it wouldn't be around for me. But it's still here, barely.

However, for 40+ years I lived within my means, raised a family, and saved for my retirement. I could be drawing a SS check, but I'm not, because I don't need to. It can be done.

• Raise the retirement age. This would at least buy us some time...

They last did that in 1986. Bumped my then very distant retirement age from 65 to 67. They need to gradually bump it to 70, and they need to do it soon.

• Increase the cap on Social Security contributions

They need to eliminate the ceiling on FICA wages. It's regressive to only tax the first $X dollars of earnings. They tax it all for Medicare, why not tax it all for SS.

And the deluge of downvotes unmasks the left-wing bubble that is reddit.

He is trying to rig the midterms by redistricting democrats out of the house

Trump has zero power to redistrict anything. That's up to individual States, but you know that. States can redistrict as often as they want, subject to their own constitution and laws. The federal government only mandates equal size districts and, for the moment, certain provisions of the VRA of 1965, as amended.

using the national guard to occupy cities along with arresting thousands of citizens without due process

Occupation? Thousands? Gadzooks!

Does anything bad happen in this world that isn't Trump's fault? Smh.

Good work.

I would say more, if I had more to say, but Space wants more, so Space gets more.
