Buffalo Reddit: Establishment Media Only
01/07/2025
The Buffalo "subreddit" moderators have enacted a policy of allowing only certain information sources be cited. And, they explicitly ban police scanner recordings.
The prompt for this was apparently some rabid posting recently when what was more or less characterized as a riot at the Galleria seemed to get out of hand.
I am not sure where I stand on this policy. I think my biggest beef would take more time than I have now to explain, but it goes along the lines of something like how this is an example of any local communication power being curtailed. In this case by arbitrary forum moderators of whom, for all we know, get text mandates and directives daily from local business and government masters about conversations they want removed, or encouraged. I've never really been sure how one becomes a moderator for that specific subreddit, and I am not sure the current ones are open about who they are.
But it is, or was , a potent place for people to discuss and, yes, speculate. It's people talking to people. In my opinion, people understand the frivility of the forum. The moderators who enacted this policy seem to have an exaggerated idea about how people communicating there erroneously might cause "panic" when in reality, inevitably, people do have the good sense to rely on fact at the end of the day.

In providing this convenient aggregate listing please keep in mind the following: Incarceration in county jail does not imply guilt - statistically, most inmates are in fact legally innocent and are only incarcerated pending further legal proceedings. As well, many circumstances including mental health and addiction issues can lead to behavioral turbulence and conflicts with society that result in jail. In noting incarceration status please adopt a compassion-first regard.
For a variety of reasons the given list may not be all inclusive of those individuals actually processed.
