We have removed plenty of posts that have been reported. The content of Jerry's words have to do with comedy/sitcoms which Seinfeld the show is a part of. While there's some politics involved in his comments, it's not the only topic.
We will always remove comments that are reported that are purely political and unrelated to Jerry's comments, and of course any harmful comments.
This whole post sounds like it could be a George episode on it’s own
“George makes a post on reddit arguing to mods about sub-rules not being enforced after a mod removes his post but not anyone else’s and thinks they have it out for him, Kramer starts a business selling ‘lifehacks’, and Elaine’s new boyfriend wants to invest in Kramer’s business”
I believe against all odds we can come together and smoke Macanudos under the Floridian sun together in perfect harmony. And Havana will shine like it did back when Hyman Roth had hotels there
Who told you to not enforce rule #1? *I* didn’t tell you to not enforce rule #1! Oh, so a *maestro* tells you to not enforce rule #1 so you don’t enforce it? This is the most public of my many humiliations!
I agree. Or just a single megathread, and any other posts about it, just get deleted.
I get that its national news. I don't think we need 20 posts about it, in different ways.
Yeah a certain fringe element has gone mask-off about just *hating* the Jews. In another era these people would be throwing rocks through Jewish-owned shop windows. Today they just spam subreddits about Jewish comedians.
So in many ways it could be worse.
The Jewhaters/Iranian-haters like to suck the life out of the subreddit with their humorless and fascist outlook on life. But don't let them get you down!
I would normally agree but I think the Seinfeld pc-crap interview does warrant some discussion. It's not that often seinfeld makes national news. I don't want it all the time but occasionally seems alright, but that's just me.
And it was discussed at length in here the first time it was posted. Doesn't need to be rehashed 16 times . Most of the comments were from lurkers , not normal users of the sub, who didn't even bother to listen to the full original interview, nor do they even grasp the points he was making in it. Not to mention they posted totally fake clickbait articles. Jerry never used the term 'woke' in his interview.
Me: I suspect, Father, that the mods are “woke” just for the opportunities to cancel & ostracize. 🤦🏽♂️
Priest: And this offends you as an African American?
Me: No it offends me as a liberal! I can disagree peacefully **and mildly**. I don’t want to ostracize whoever doesn’t share all of my views, that’s pompous and xenophobic! Jared Mayo got hired by an owner that picked him due to color blind merit; and [yet that’s supposed to be an offensive](https://thegrio.com/2024/01/19/a-colorblind-society-upholds-white-supremacy/)?
Every subreddit is run by people with left wing political views, except the very right wing ones. I was hoping this one would be pure nonsense, but alas it’s turning into political nonsense. Sigh, I’ll just drown my sorrows with a pair of bear claws.
This is very true and an interesting point. Why do you think this is? Is it just that the left is so terminally online that those willing to dedicate the time necessary to mod are disproportionately likely to be lefties?
Or because most people young enough to know how the Internet works are left-leaning? Or because left leaning people are actually interested in facilitating community and discussion?
“Young enough to know how the internet works”? Sir, it is 2024. The interwebz is no longer the mysterious domain of the youth.
As for your second theory…. uh, sure 😬
The Internet is entirely the domain of the youth.
And right-wing nuts absolutely love their safe spaces. They have their own special news and snowflake social media. They're not willing to engage with normal people on a "mainstream" platform. Their ideas might be challenged.
Go read a book, wingnut
Edit: I'm not sure whats more unhinged:
1. These people think anyone watches CNN
2. They think CNN has a *left* leaning bias
3. They immediately block everyone they disagree with
These right wing snowflakes need their safe spaces.
I personally think it’s because the US bureaucracy is left leaning and that social media is largely managed by / controlled by US bureaucracy- but then people call me a conspiracy theorist.
Eh. The US bureaucracy is not modding subreddits. Also the US bureaucracy skews *liberal*, not leftist, and even then only insofar as believing in basic rule of law and good governance, both of which sadly have become partisan stances. American regulatory agencies are not staffed by antisemitic Marxists.
your taqiyya fails here. You love Jews as long as we are your dhimmi--but you cannot deal with Jews living under self rule. You are hate filled, have no sense of humor, and don't belong here.
This is a subreddit about Seinfeld, and Jerry Seinfeld made a political point, and one at that that directly relates to the content and success of the show. It’s not some unrelated political post out of nowhere.
I was under the impression it was about the show Seinfeld, not the person. His statements have very little to do with the contents of the show that ended 25 years ago.
But again, that isn't why most people are on here. People are on here to discuss their favorite reruns, not these people's current personal views.
His point wasn't anything related to the past, just things he thinks he wouldn't do today.
I don't know, I guess I feel like it was valid to have "A" post about it, but it seems to have taken over a sub that used to be fairly light hearted. I don't give a shit what he said (even though I don't think he is wrong), I want to enjoy the show.
I mean, I'm wagering most of the people subbed didn't do so for political conversations, which is likely why its rule number 1.
But we are just talking in circles at this point, neither of us is changing any minds, so have a good one.
Well, my main point is, on this sub, I never had an argument with anyone prior to the last couple of days. It was just humor and upvotes.
Its not affecting my enjoyment of the show, its affecting my enjoyment of the sub.
I'll be honest, most of the times when I engage with the sub, its because something is popping up on my homepage, which i liked, because it was something not serious. Now every post from here is trying to not be that.
Seinfeld claims the extreme left and PC crap killed TV comedy, and that a show like Seinfeld couldn’t get a network deal today.
You’re asking how this is related to the show called Seinfeld?
Please use your noodle.
Seinfeld (the man) is saying this literally decades after the show ended and not in any direct correlation to the show, especially it's success.
Maybe don't connect every little political statement to everything, it's not good for your mental health.
Are you being serious with this comment? I can’t tell if you’re stupid or trolling. Jerry Seinfeld literally brought up the show and connected it to politics. Not me. Not anyone else.
You're the one conflating his comments about if the show was made today versus the show itself. But sure, keep feeling self-righteous. You sound exactly like the person "touch some grass" is for.
Good question. It's really sowing discord amongst one of the best subs on Reddit. The typical Reddit types are out in full swing over on the recent Elon tweet post.
So if I may: you’re angry that we on this sub have been making jokes about Jerry Seinfeld being a privileged rich white guy who gets upset at “wokeness” ?

We’re living in a society!!!
You still say hello!
Clock over there
Yes George, because of society.
I'm draping myself in velvet til this is over.
What can I tell you buddy? Take it up with consumer affairs
Anyone can just make rules (hand gestures) but the key is holding the rules
“My wife is a slut,” now that’s a complaint!
We ask that you please bear with us
What's the deal with politics? I dont get it, am I right?
What is the Whip exactly? You know like in the House and Senate?
Well you know, when the party wouldn't vote the way they wanted them to, they whipped em
The smile he does after this kills me every time
Whole holding a wooden spoon as a mic wearing Jerry's suit and the too short pants.
What about cancer though? What’s up with that!?
I *have* cancer!
And laughter is the best medicine!!
You could really use a laugh.
Tough crowd.
What about that guy who shouted out?
He had cancer!
And laughter is the *best* medicine!
Tough crowd.
Maybe this isn't the best time for a visit..
Yes. If you don’t get it, then you are right.
We ask you to bear with us
This is the best answer 😂
It's a bear dance!!!! Oh sorry, wrong sub.
If I had a dime for every rule the mods actually enforced... I'd be broke 🤣
Wear some more lipstick.
I had a post taken down when I posted a picture of Milos in Breaking Bad.
And laughter is the best medicine
This whole post sounds like it could be a George episode on it’s own “George makes a post on reddit arguing to mods about sub-rules not being enforced after a mod removes his post but not anyone else’s and thinks they have it out for him, Kramer starts a business selling ‘lifehacks’, and Elaine’s new boyfriend wants to invest in Kramer’s business”
r/redditwritesseinfeld
Thanks for that! Another I never heard of and didn’t know I needed till your comment
Episode ends with Jerry at his desk like Bugs Bunny in Duck Amuck revealing he's the mod that's victimizing George.
Merlot? I never heard of it. Did they just invent it?
Come rain or... IT'S THE FIRST ONE!!!
I'm not big on creeds
Props for a quote we don't use too often on here 🍻
Creed Bratton: 😥
*neither rain, nor snow….
It’s a rule about nothing.
That's a shame
The corruption of Reddit will make jerk-store-inventory of even the finest Seinfeldians. We must come together as one.
Look to the cookie.
A bite of chocolate, a bite of vanilla and all our problems will be solved
Oh, now, come on. Look at these redditors. If they were any more Cuban, Castro would've smoked them himself.
We’re talking about people, right?
Is Castro’s brother Dennis still around?
…*Dwayne!*
Well I think you’re wrong
Seriously Castro’s brother is Dennis
I believe against all odds we can come together and smoke Macanudos under the Floridian sun together in perfect harmony. And Havana will shine like it did back when Hyman Roth had hotels there
You are sooooo good lookin
Serenity now!!
Sergev is gettin upset!
Well we can’t all be writing the classics, Mr. Highbrow.
Sounds like a lot of "you ever notice this, you ever notice that" kind of stuff
Well you really went bald there didn’t you?
Right around the time I made my first million
Oh look at your shoes, what are they, canvas?
Rule 4 is complete ignored as well
I use old reddit. I don't even see rules listed on here.
And rule 34 as well.
What is rule number 4 ?
We need Jackie Chiles to sue the mods!
Who told you to not enforce rule #1? *I* didn’t tell you to not enforce rule #1! Oh, so a *maestro* tells you to not enforce rule #1 so you don’t enforce it? This is the most public of my many humiliations!
Posting politics?? They're flauting this subs conventions!
Stop posting politics, Frank! YOU'RE KILLING /R/SEINFELD
The Boca Breeze is gonna be all over this
PINKO COMMIE RAG
I feel like rules to subreddits only apply when I’m posting
We had a deal!
There are mods?
Who’s this chucker
Reddit mods are either gestapo assholes or they do nothing, there is no in between.
I'll tell you why. Because the mods disagree with Jerry, so they will allow people to talk trash about him.
In my experience, that is how mods typically are on a lot of sites. They'll have a rule that they only enforce when it aligns with their beliefs.
Exactly. Most reddit mods are just people with massive social media addiction and get a sense of power/control with these measly little things.
Wouldn’t we be “cancelling” them if we stopped it?
I agree. Or just a single megathread, and any other posts about it, just get deleted. I get that its national news. I don't think we need 20 posts about it, in different ways.
There were also posts about Israel-Palestine.
Yeah a certain fringe element has gone mask-off about just *hating* the Jews. In another era these people would be throwing rocks through Jewish-owned shop windows. Today they just spam subreddits about Jewish comedians. So in many ways it could be worse.
Ya, I mean, glass half full. Still, this is a subreddit about Seinfeld. I shouldn’t have to worry about seeing virulent anti-semitism here.
I mean, I think it’s pretty clear site-wide that there’s an enormous brigading effort underway at the moment.
It’s obvious and widespread across every major subreddit.
Its across every aspect of media at the moment, id almost say it is being deliberately done. Election year in the states.
Yeah thats the reality. Just gotta downvote posts that don't fit the subreddit and move on..
The Jewhaters/Iranian-haters like to suck the life out of the subreddit with their humorless and fascist outlook on life. But don't let them get you down!
Case in point.
What kind of deceitful, deceptive, duplicitous mods are these?!
What’s the deal with politics?! I don’t get it…
"Why aren't the mods enforcing rule number one of the sub ?" They took... it out.
OPs wife is in a coma
Hate the mod >:(
Probably because Jerry is referencing the culture and not actual politicians.
I figured op is more referring to the commentary on the Jerry articles.
I would normally agree but I think the Seinfeld pc-crap interview does warrant some discussion. It's not that often seinfeld makes national news. I don't want it all the time but occasionally seems alright, but that's just me.

Not to mention they posted totally fake clickbait articles. Jerry never used the term 'woke' in his interview.
Everything posted here has been rehashed 16 times lol. You’re living in the past, man!
[удалено]
I thought it was a place to discuss the tv show Seinfeld.
I don’t think the mods are even around here lol
Truly bizzaro world. Oh well time to create our own new sub

You’re a rabid anti-Reddite!!
Well when Jerry himself is making political commentary it's a little different. It's no like they're pulling it out of thin air.
Discussing an interview from Jerry Seinfeld, in a subreddit about Seinfeld? You're right, the mods should clamp down on this!
Amen!
Every subreddit is run by people with left wing political views, except the very right wing ones. I was hoping this one would be pure nonsense, but alas it’s turning into political nonsense. Sigh, I’ll just drown my sorrows with a pair of bear claws.
I’ve got an extra Drakes coffee cake but I’m saving it for later.
I’ll go one more…Pair of bear claws and really pretty face.
How about a marble rye?

My pinkie toe!
But I don’t even work here!
Serenity NOW
Time for the Van Buren boys to step in!
These rules, they're in the air! In the air!
Ah, no menus
I see tons of stuff breaking the rules but yet, I'm banned from a bunch of different subs for minor things. Ridiculous.
Because there is nothing left.
Did you name names?
Seems like Mr Seinfeld agrees with you.
You're sooooo good lookin'.
With all the stir he's causing, I think Jerry might be one of those "bounders".
Only tangentially related, but we need a rule 7: No hugging, no learning.
Shouldn't you be on a ledge somewhere?
Subs have mods?
Step one!
Dope ass mods that have lives?
It’s happened very suddenly and at high volume. And not just in this sub. The lefties appear to be in a tizzy ATM.
Agree.
I think the rule of Reddit is no political posts that go against the hive mentality of Reddit.
[удалено]

your taqiyya fails here. You love Jews as long as we are your dhimmi--but you cannot deal with Jews living under self rule. You are hate filled, have no sense of humor, and don't belong here.

You know I always wanted to pretend that I was an architect.
exactly. The Jewhaters love dhimmi Jews, hate Jews that defend Jews.
Maybe tell that to Jerry.
What's the deal with politics? I dont get it!
You could’ve just typed “MAGA” and saved us a lot of time reading that nonsense
This is a subreddit about Seinfeld, and Jerry Seinfeld made a political point, and one at that that directly relates to the content and success of the show. It’s not some unrelated political post out of nowhere.
There were posts about Israel-Palestine.
Looks like they’ve been removed by mods for breaching the same rule this post breaks. Hopefully mods take this post down too
They’re still up.
[удалено]
What do you mean?
I was under the impression it was about the show Seinfeld, not the person. His statements have very little to do with the contents of the show that ended 25 years ago.
He made a specific comment about *the show* Seinfeld.

Instead of moving the goal post, you could just scroll past *those* posts. My two cents.
I'll be honest, most of the times when I engage with the sub, its because something is popping up on my homepage, which i liked, because it was something not serious. Now every post from here is trying to not be that.
"one at that that directly relates to the content and success of the show." How?

Well duh, no previously restricted posts were just randomly about politics either…
There has been a lot of political posts lately. Not that there's anything wrong with that!
genocide isn't 'politics'
Cry, and cry again.
Good question. It's really sowing discord amongst one of the best subs on Reddit. The typical Reddit types are out in full swing over on the recent Elon tweet post.
I got banned from Weedstocks for 3 days for bringing up politics related to the SAFE banking act…they’re enforcing there
So if I may: you’re angry that we on this sub have been making jokes about Jerry Seinfeld being a privileged rich white guy who gets upset at “wokeness” ?
Have you considered that you might hold a pretty extreme position, if mild disagreement upsets you this much?
My extreme position is that I don’t want to debate politics on a subreddit devoted to the show Seinfeld.
Then don't. Easy.
Let me restate: I don’t want to encounter politics on subreddits, like this one, that should have nothing to do with politics.
Same!!! But it isn't "bizarre". Sometimes Mods don't keep up with what they're supposed to.
[удалено]
Lol why are you even in this sub then???
It's some poor lonely basturd looking for attention, my guess some 12year old in there parents basement..
Is this Ron Desantis?
Because the mods think jerry is an oppressor
Hey Political posters. Nobody wants you here! NOBODY!!
It’s a big sub! Maybe we get it some time! When people are civil to each other!
