I'm on my 5th permban now I think. Some of them were because I logged in with an alt on the same IP by mistake so they flagged it and banned those too. I didn't violate any ToS, they just didn't agree because (I asked ChatGPT to summarize the behavior of reddit mods/admins):
Woke Authoritarianism
This refers to the enforcement of progressive or "woke" ideology through authoritarian means, such as:
Thought Policing
This term comes from George Orwell's 1984 and refers to the control and regulation of people's thoughts, often through fear, social pressure, or punishment for wrongthink. In the modern context, it can include:
And a followup response:
Authoritarian Leftism โ When left-wing ideology is enforced through censorship, suppression of dissent, and ideological purity tests.
Neoprogressivism / Woke Authoritarianism โ Some critics use these terms to describe far-left movements that use de-platforming, cancel culture, and corporate-enforced speech restrictions to control discourse.
Cultural Marxism (controversial term) โ Some argue that elements of Marxist thought, particularly in cultural institutions, are used to enforce ideological dominance. However, this term is often misused or overgeneralized.
Techno-Authoritarianism โ When social media platforms and tech companies enforce ideological conformity through bans, shadowbanning, and algorithmic control.
Soft Totalitarianism (coined by Rod Dreher) โ Unlike classic totalitarianism (which uses force and violence), this is a modern, decentralized form of control through social shaming, cancel culture, and corporate censorship.
ChatGPT seems to have hit the nail on the head, I didn't even know "Woke Authoritarianism" was an actual term.
Err what?
I gave it a list of actions and behaviors by admins/mods on reddit, and asked it what the political ideologies would be considered. That's what ChatGPT spat out. I was curious how its inference would work given a list of behaviors. Hilarious being downvoted for pasting from ChatGPT's inferences though, I'm just the messenger.
That's NOT the summary I would expect after the feedback of newcomers from the last wave.
It only summarized the behaviors of the mods/admins, not the reddit userbase at large. There's probably Venn diagram between the two but not exactly 100% the same. And things like shadowbanning (listed in the response) are not actions of the users, or political ideologies of the users either, only something a mod can do.
You missed my point but hey, thanks for the LLM bullshit about woke authoritarianism.
I didn't even know that term existed, it's the one that told me about it, I only copied and pasted it.
