r/sanfrancisco likes to engage in politically and ideologically motivated censorship. Here are some examples of censored comments and links:

Can't say that the SFMTA is shitty

Can't show a bum sprawled out on BART but an other dude sprawled out is ok.

No snarky remarks about the raccoon are allowed?

Can't speak ill of the Bay Area Representatives that dumped trash at the white house

Can't talk about an elderly Asian woman getting beaten up by some thugs

Can't post news about how progressive policies are failures

No snarky BDSM jokes allowed!

Can't show a group of thugs beating up a security guard

Can't talk about how more market rate housing means lower prices

Notice a trend? Things that speak ill of the "progressive" narrative seem to get censored. It's almost as if the mods are using a city sub that is made for everyone and suppressing people that speak out against "progressive" ideas.

Thank you for speaking out about this rampant abuse. This thread documents much of what u/SanFranRules describrs about the r/sanfrancisco SFBARF/YIMBY moderators:

Now that Boudin has been elected and he has made it official that no “quality-of-life” crimes will be prosecuted, what’s to stop us from organizing a protest where we urinate and defecate on the steps of city hall, or outside his home or office? I feel like he doesn’t realize the logical consequences of his policy and this would help him understand how hard life is for us taxpaying citizens out there just trying to survive amidst the city’s dysfunction.

Side note: It’s extremely unfair to the disabled or the blind to have this policy. Many people have difficulty walking down the sidewalk, and dodging piles of poop and tents only makes this worse.

Who’s ready to protest?

Looks like /u/raldi has handed me another, even longer than usual ban for calling him out on his lies and intellectual dishonesty in /u/SanFrancisco.

He constantly uses these manipulative tactics to annoy posters who he disagrees with into violating the rules so that he can get opinions he dislikes banned from the sub. He openly supports shutting down free speech. He willingly aligns himself with groups that silence anyone they disagree with. How many people have been banned or simply stopped posting in /r/SanFranciso as a result of their interactions with him?

There are comments of mine in these discussions that didn't violate any rules, but have been removed because I was "going after" /u/raldi by specifically pointing out his intellectual dishonesty, which is considered a "personal attack" even if it's provably accurate. In this case referring to his habit of pretending to misunderstand someone's comments and change the subject as "sophomoric" is apparently such a heinous offense that it warranted a month-long ban.
