Comcast shills got both Cowicide and his housemate shadowbanned on Reddit. So Cowicide has now been censored for bringing up censorship.

Just got this in my message box:
Well, Comcast shills got both Cowicide and his housemate shadowbanned. So Cowicide has now been censored for bringing up censorship.
np.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/2ip3ea/comcast_has_publicly_apologized_to_man_who/cl44pd5
Similar in concept to complaining to a company about their shady practices and then losing your account in retribution.
The Cowicide user page is gone:
https://www.reddit.com/user/Cowicide/
Such a classic mistake....

Please let people know that if one criticizes Comcast too much, it may mean you can also lose your Reddit account along with your job.
Thank you and please keep up the fight against Comcast shills.

I know. People outside this sub-reddit don't know though.
No need to be condescending, just help spread the word!

Yeah, they need a revenue stream as this is a social media site for large scale data mining. I wondered how much worse it would get after the condi-naste purchase and now i wonder again after the initial investors bought in. Wonder what other web sites we could move to to avoid heavy censorship...

You know reddit stood against Comcast and what not (/r/stand) If he was shadow banned it was most likely for breaking one of the site rules www.reddit.com/rules
If it was his housemate too then maybe the admins thought he was upcoming his own stuff when it was his housemate instead. Tell them to contact the admins at /r/reddit.com

How did you stumble onto this thread?
-1 fritzly 2014-10-09
I browse this place...
There is a multi in my overview that has this sub and a few others.
2 unclescham 2014-10-09
I see. Do you have an affinity for meta reddit dramatics?
0 fritzly 2014-10-09
I enjoy my fair share of popcorn. Though my comment was trying to help a misinformed user and pointing him to the best place to get unshadow banned.
2 unclescham 2014-10-09
I see. You came to reddit's defense first and foremost, prior to ever offering any type of recommendation. The recommendation seemed more of an aside to the counter-argument. I see that you moderate quite a few subs, do you have a control fetish to go with your taste for drama?
0 fritzly 2014-10-09
lol if had a control fetish I wouldn't have left /r/tifu, /r/trees, /r/thatHappened, /r/nostalgia, and plenty of other subs. A lot of subs are joke subs or I just do CSS work.
1 unclescham 2014-10-09
I didn't know you left any modships, why did you leave?
0 fritzly 2014-10-09
Because I was modding too much and I had real life things I needed to do.
1 unclescham 2014-10-09
ah

They did a lot more than put a banner up including encouraging redditors to send letter to their congressmen and what not. Check out /r/stand.
Yes I know of undelete. Undelete is where I have a lot of my karma.
