Not new. Liberal sites have been doing this for years. It got too ugly I guess.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

A lot of the conservative sites don't have the manpower necessary to review all of the comments.

Some overly upset conservatives and some liberal trolls have been posting inflammatory and violent comments.

Either the conservative sites have to hire a bunch more people to review comments, or they have to limit/stop comments altogether.

“First it was BB that was blocking all my comments, with that “Hold on there, awaiting moderation” thing that comes up. “

***

hey drama queen, they’re NOT blocking you. You are not the center of the comment universe. They’re REVIEWING your comments. Even LAT and websites do that due to the nature of the climate nowadays and BB has the right to do that due to the many trolls who now go on the attack there. This must be the 20th Breitbart “they block my comments” crybaby thread in the past week..

[Boogieman]

Probably the words “child abuse” got it flagged as a possible “Q” post if I had to guess.

it was BB that was blocking all my comments,

****

Why would Bridget Bardot block your comments?

[usurper]

I read this morning that Town Hall was blocking comments. They said it was because they simply don't have the staff to moderate all the comments.

They and other conservatives sites know the long knifes are out and don't want to be de-platformed from their servers.

I have noticed that Disqus (the software that Breitbart and others use for their comment section) has been moderating heavily against conservative comments. Pathetic.

[Slingwing]

Comments are getting very heated and troll farms are inciting people to get them to act. That is playing into their hands. Conspiracy wackos are also stirring the pot and that does not help our cause. There is an announcement to attend capital protests and be armed. That is most likely a black hat operation so DemocRATS can assault the first and second amendment. One thing to remember, I survived LBJ, Carter, Billyboy and Bammy. If by chance Uncle Joe is seated I will survive it too. One thing I have always said is never write Trumpster off. For those that think he is toast, I beg to differ O ye one of little faith. We are in good hands because the white hats are working overtime.

They have to protect themselves from being attacked and shutdown over content they don’t publish

Some intentionally planted no doubt

I NEVER blocked you. Retract that libel you ninnyhammer.

[glimmerman70]

I don’t do FB but my wife said someone told her about a setting and when you go there it shows you how many people that are hired (I guess) by FB to watch and censor your page. She had 60 people watching her page, she has in the past posted a few things pro Trump or conservative. She blocked them. Her father is crazy left and he posts hateful stuff about Trump and occasionally gets a 1 day time out for fighting and saying racist things to other posters. He only had 15 people censoring his page. If anyone wants to know where to find the setting I will ask her other wise I don’t care because I don’t go on there.

This makes Gab’s new browser (Dissenter) more interesting! It allows comments on any URL — news, Wikipedia, Blogs, Amazon products, etc. Of course it’ll have to get a larger user base for comments to get visibility.

dissenter.com for more info (site is having performance issues right now, just like the rest of Gab).

[Midwesterner53]

I’ve seen the same thing at BB with my comments and seen others talking about it on the comments sections. Today mine were going on without that comment.

[Baldwin77]

I don’t consider BB conservative. Never have. They are never-Trumpers.

[GardenerForLife]

I was a little shocked by BB. I was noticing that posts only had 1 or 2 comments on them. Then BB put my comments on hold too.

I seem to be ok now though. I posted this morning and everything went through as normal.

What is “BB”?

[daniel1212]

Disqus on www.breitbart.com does.

If I (today) paste a simple list of companies to suspend payments to or potentially cease doing business with due to these companies suspending or stopping political contributions, then it gets marked as spam. And if I just paste a working link to the list at https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/3924867/posts?page=4 then it gets deleted. I have to post the link a freerepublic. com/focus/news/3924867/posts. Thus Disqus and or breitbart itself is engaging in censorship.

And as for myself, after at least 7 years of posting on Disqus, with nothing vulgar, profane, conspiratorial, porno, etc. but instead typically substantiated argumentation, today the only comments left are 16, some from from 7 years ago and the rest from this year. Then it says, "That's the end." Unless Disqus suffered data loss, then i wonder if my loss is related to a long debate with a Mormon a few months ago or some homosexual activists, and Disqus took a broad brush to my comments.

wikipedia reports,

If Disqus shuts down, hundreds of millions of comments would be wiped away from a wide range of sites, since by the very nature of the service, comment content is not being managed locally by sites implementing the service....Disqus also injects untrusted and potentially dangerous third party advertising code into containing webpages.[40] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disqus
