saveanon12Reddit censors story on Starlink losing over 300 satellites after it jumps to #2 overall for r/worldnews
Link to the archived Reddit post. The article itself.
Unsure of how reputable tiblur is, seems like it’s almost an independent news source? Either way, incredibly fucked up that Reddit is censoring this news, yet another example of it going down the shit drain called corporatism.
Yeah I don’t know about tiblur however very interesting that Suspicious observers is now mentioning the decay of Starlink.
Bro stop trolling
I like a good anti reddit circlejerk as much as anyone, but this community did the same thing lemmy.world/post/6105113 was here yesterday, it’s gone now
So that’s what happened I was like where did it go.
Before the mass migration there was a bunch of crazy extremists using the fediverse.
When “normal” instances started getting popular, those people made communities on there and now they’re the top mods of communities on lots of instances.
Something tells me Elons minions are everywhere including at reddit.
steve huffman is one of his loudest simps
I heard twitter X was the true bastion of free speech. Maybe try there.
The satellite loss is expected and has been discussed pretty thoroughly already. The larger story, to me, is that that the whole starlink project is haemorrhaging money and it’s still being subsidized by taxpayer money.
I like how you’re downvoted for speaking about the actual issue.
300 low earth orbit satellites that were designed to be temporary out of a fleet of 5000.
But “private company, operated by billionaire who opposes raising taxes on his bracket, wants YOUR tax money to keep his business afloat”. How’s that for clickbait, lol
Because Elon’s minions are here. But yeah the story is they wiped the story.
Maybe people only read like 10 words and thought I was somehow pro-elon? Maybe they took my sarcastic twitter quip seriously? *Shurg*
Somewhere Bill Gates is a happy man watching Elon repeat his past mistakes with Teledesic
Walt J. RimmerI thought Lemmy was supposed to be the best free speech alternative
I don’t think there’s any good definition of a “good” free speech website. Because everyone’s going to disagree on the criteria of what makes one good. Myself, I like more moderation, but I like that moderation to be held accountable in an attempt to keep the moderation higher quality and honest. Some people see free speech as no moderation, total anarchy, and I hate that, I’ve seen some websites that tried that, it turned into hate speech and revenge porn and other terrible things very quickly.

I have yet to find a single website where that hasn’t happened within a year or so, unless they manage to stay very small and out of the public eye.
CatoblepasThe difference is in the response once the people in charge of the site are made aware of the content. Someone striking while mods are asleep isn’t the same as running Kiwi Farms.
and it is, it was removed by the lemmy.world, not from the fediverse, you are on their instance, it’s their rule, go to other instance with less strict rules
MuddybulldogLenny isn’t just “one thing”. Every instance has its own rules and standards. Lenny itself has zero policy with regards to free speech, for or against. Nor does the Fediverse as a whole.
You can start your own Lemmy instance and have all the free speech you want.
As has been pointed out previously, this isn’t about censorship. It’s about low quality posting. Even if the information is completely valid your post to Reddit violated the sub rules and your low effort conspiracy postings on Lemmy serve no value.
It’s not and never claimed to be. Lemmy is a piece of software, the instance owners and community moderators choose what stays and what’s goes, every Lemmy instance is just a glorified forum of old internet. Federation means the post isn’t solely controlled by the instance owners, but deletion is federated so the instance deleting it sends notice to every other instance where it exists to delete it as well, and then it’s up to that instance to do it (tho Lemmy will do this automatically so it would require altering the server code to stop that)
megane-kunFortunately, there’s a modlog for communities here in Lemmy.
Looking at it (currently the third in the list for removed posts), an admin removed it with the reason of “bad news source”. Not saying whether or not it’s justified though, but at least we would know who to blame and why.
also ot’s federated, so not exactly “censored” because it’s up on other instances
Hmm, yeah, there’s that too, but unless you know the URL to use to access it from a different instance, it might be a bit hard (to access), isn’t it?
I didn’t know mod logs were public! Amazing feature
ryannathansThis post was removed too lol?
So what’s the suggestion here? What is reddit gaining from supporting Musk in this… we know that Ferretface Boy loves Elon but would he really go as far as making admins for /worldnews deleting things?
With how overzealous mods on reddit can be about enforcing posting rules, it’s just as likely the story had already been posted a gazillion times and they removed all but the first link (I’ve seen this happen a few times and people were pissed because the initial post didn’t get as many upvotes / interaction)
LibertyLizardYeah or it wasn’t deleted at all? I mean stories come and go from the front page all the time. That’s how the algorithm works. Is there any real evidence it was even deleted? This one seems far fetched. I doubt Reddit gives a shit about Elon Musk, there are constantly far more negative stories than this one you can find there.
Why is this the result of a conspiracy and not a “friendly” call from the Starlink legal department?
damn, its so strange that a rich guy was able to throw thousands of satellites into space, in a manner that completely changes humanity’s relationship to the cosmos, without any meaningful form of public debate or discussion.
even more strange when you consider that the owner of the company is one of the most talked about people on the planet. i wonder how he’s able to keep getting away with it.
without any meaningful form of public debate or discussion
They submitted everything required to the relevant government agencies for approval. Whether these organizations considered any public comments, or ignored them, is a different matter unfortunately.
Starlink also is not the first or only company to get approval for a massive LEO satellite network with thousands of units in orbit. Just some of the 1000+ satellite constellations in the works currently: OneWeb (UK), Amazon’s Project Kuiper (US), Astra (US), Lynk Global (US), Boeing V-band (US), Telesat Lightspeed (Canada), Spin Launch (UK), Globalstar (Germany), Hughes HVNET (US), Hanwha (South Korea), Guangwang (China), and Galaxy Space Yinhe (China). Starlink is just the one you hear about most because of who the owner is.
Oh and if you’re worried about the number of satellites in these mega constellations… you probably shouldn’t look up E-SPACE… they have registered over 400,000+ in multiple constellations (Semaphore-C and Cinnamon-217/Cinnamon-937).
cedarmesaIm fascinated that an army of musk defenders deploys every time this topic comes up. All with the same talking points. Same thing happens when you mention monsanto, fracking, and nuclear power.
Typically their entire comment history is deleted like yours
That doesn’t seem to be the case. Can you respond to the actual post?
For what its worth, I can see their comment history and it doesn’t appear to be deleted or entirely in this thread either.
Not sure if unhinged, unable to have reasonable discussion, or bot
While you’re not wrong about there being other constellations in the works, Starlink is the first to actually launch more than a (relative) few. Over 50% of satellites in orbit, total, belong to Starlink.
So while there are other projects planned or under construction, Starlink is the most visible by far.
it’s almost like all these different regulatory bodies you mentioned don’t serve the people, but instead the wealthy
Maybe try an article from an actual news site instead.
It was voted to the top and popular youtubers are covering it along with decently sized news outlets.
That's irrelevant. It's not a news article, which it is required to be. You can't just post random ass blog posts or meme pictures there.
/r/worldnews is apparently curated by capitalist apologists. I got banned for expressing a normal leftist opinion, many people have.
This guy is creating new accounts every day to post his news page…last time he was /u/theanon
This was likely removed by /r/worldnews mods rather than reddit. They have policy of removing everything that doesn't follow their rules no matter how many upvotes it has
OP’s entire posting history is promoting tiblur via this specific story.
I still can’t get past the batshit insane mission statement pinned on the main tiblur account
The Purpose of Tiblur Hi everyone, I’m going to be making some videos about what’s really going on the world. There’s an underlying purpose of Tiblur. My goal is to unite the world to end the suffering of people on this planet. There is an ongoing alien invasion of this planet. I’m not even being ironic. It’s literally happening and I want to share my story as to how tiblur is involved. There will be a lot more posters on here in the coming months if I survive and we are able to adapt to hackers, The CIA, and onslaught from the media. Remember tiblur is meant to be free so everyone can have fun without degeneracy. I’ve trained the jannies to spot degeneracy. Since Apple rejected us we are going to allow a lot of freedom on this app so the truth is out there. If you are spiritual please help us end the alien invasion of our planet child genocide, child trafficking and disease/damage to people worldwide. A great song that comes to mind is the Michael Jackson song heal the world. If someone has it please post it. Thank You!
Based and alien pilled
no one talks about the green pills
MajesticSlothNew copypasta just dropped.
oh god I hope not
Signing up immediately
take him to your leader
The BartoI had no interest in what ever Tiblur is, but now I’m gonna go see what crazy shot they do.
ngl it’s an interesting ride on the trending section
Oh it’s a q Anon thing.
Q Anon checklist includes:
✅ Media is trying to drown our message!!1!
✅ CIA out to getcha
✅ Big tech censor me 😡
✅ Child Trafficking
✅ Alien Invasion
✅ Michael Jackson We Are The World (yes seriously)
Now I get to add Tiblur to my wacky list of whistles. Hooray
Are we really doing this, yet again?
theodeweredid he get the clever little reddit tools to invest in his satellite swindle?
THIS IS WORLD NEWS NOT FUCKING REDDIT NEWS
muntedcrocodileIs this expected decay due to low earth orbit or is this something else.
Spez simps so hard for Musk
It was probably just cause the OP didn’t comment the word “cockleburrs” into the thread within 30 minutes of posting, which as you all know is an egregious violation of rule #15.
Because it’s a bogus story. It’s like saying that the leaves fell from a tree or water evaporated from a lake. The satellites are deorbiting because that’s what they are designed to do, rather than hanging around as space trash for hundreds of years.
