Does it bother you that Reddit Shutdown comments during last nights debate? Discussion
Curious if it bothers you that Reddit shutdown comments during last nights debate. I'm not super sure of how the internals of Reddit work ie did Reddit hide comments or did moderators, I do know a handful of mods control most of Reddit but it was intersting to see a megathread on r/politics with 1800 comments showing 0 comments, even threads on here, r/millenials and numerous other subreddits would show minimal comments of those posted or none at all.
What's the justification for this? Does it bother you?

It bothers me if comments are ever shut down, period. Free speech should be free speech, whether you like it or not.
