Yeah, that sounds about right. The point is that this sub allowed for free discussion about the virus and what was happening in China / Wuhan at a time when not many people were talking about it or knew what was going on. This indeed included "leaked" videos from China of people in hasmat suits, suddenly falling to the ground, spraying streets and buildings etc. It was alarming (in the end I think those videos were created to misdirect). Those videos were only a small part of the discussion going on there. Quarantining the sub acted for many only as confirmation that certain information was really being suppressed from higher up. As I said here before. Because of this sub I bought N95 masks early on (some of which I later gave to doctors/nurses in my family), stocked up on food and warned others to stock up before the panic set in. Every once in a while I posted the latest numbers and estimations of the CFR/IFR. The last one I did which was on /r/coronavirus turned out to be accurate a year later. Sadly /r/Wuhan_Flu is now only a shell of its former self. Later many things turned out to be true as well. All subs were guilty of spreading information which later turned out to not be the case. I really do not like censorship and want to hear from all sides. Luckily there is the website you created, reveddit. |

Thanks for saying so. It builds on top of similar work. I think there will always be a way to review what gets removed. And as we use more social media with opaque moderation it may become standard practice to check whether your posts are "live" or not.
