I’m not a political person but I’ve noticed that for example Reddit has a more left leaning moderation in comparison to what X (Twitter) is.

For example, if someone does hate speech against LGBT people on X and you report them the moderation team will tell you that the content didn’t break the rules and guidelines, but if you as an LGBT person answer to the homophobic conservatives with the same energy you’ll get a 24 hours suspension from posting or interacting.

I’ve personally experienced this many times and it’s making me so annoyed specially since there’s huge accounts on X that are dedicated to spread extreme hate even wishing death on other people.

    This post follows the structure of a narrative-testing artifact, whether you meant it to or not:

    • Title poses the conclusion as a question (frame-as-premise)
    • “I’m not a political person” - credibility laundering
    • Unverifiable personal anecdote as evidence
    • LGBT hate as example - chosen because disagreement looks callous
    • Posted on a sympathetic platform for amplification and screenshot redistribution

    The claim might be true. Platform moderation bias is a real research question. But this isn’t how you’d ask it if you wanted an answer - it’s how you’d ask it if you wanted the frame to spread. Worth everyone noticing the difference.

      I just use this app to vent, even if the answer is obvious I just wanted a place to talk about it
