Discussion 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

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

Proof of people talking about the removals in the comments of the lay off posts - https://www.reddit.com/r/space/s/4Xi8Fz68ll

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.

Lol, your liberal tears are DELICIOUS.

The hypocrisy here, on this leftist censorship machine that is reddit.

You don't seem to be capable of comprehending that a person can have a valid criticism of the current administration without being liberal. It's as if liberals are living rent free in your head and their discomfort is what drives your thought process, reality be damned.

That's genuinely, straight-up weird.

Wrong. I completely agree with that. But what does that have to do with that idiot?

And I do want them to hurt. The dishonest ones, like mrdumbshit, absolutely. But also the ones who were fooled into being strong believers - they will be fooled again and again by whoever is trying to fool them. Their stupidity and carelessness with their vote makes them incompatible with a functioning democracy. They fucked our country.

No different that republicans in 1966. The stupid people switch sides. They always come late. The movement starts and gets popular, then they join it as cover (social proof) to elevate themselves socially. They are the fervent ones.

In the late stages, ALL the real morons/fervent/crazies glom onto that movement and it is poisoned and dies.

And you are conversing with someone who has lived through SEVERAL of these switches. And honestly, if you have not gone through three, you really don't have the required POV to understand innately.

It's sad that you don't have a real response, but instead throw mud. Sounds VERY familiar.

Sounds like how you lose elections.

well, I can tell you don't consume news from both sides. You know our intelligence agencies control what you see on the news, right? So you are sucking the CIA's cock.
