Remember how long it took Reddit to ban T_D? Long after the doxxing and brigading started? Long after they were encouraging violence? I don't remember what the last straw was, but fuck spez. I can't believe I kept supporting Reddit through that and especially after that. Fuck me too.
With UncensoredNews it was the media coverage I believe. Wasn't good for Reddit's image when they started to openly use literal Nazi symbols in their subreddit style. Reddit itself has no issues with far right extremists radicalizing on their platform. There's /r/europe and a bunch of UK subs that are also always pretty openly spewing pretty disgusting Nazi commentary.
There was conjecture that the FBI wanted Reddit to leave The Donald intact because it created an easy to track community of violent extremists. I'm guessing those who posted threats of violence on there are still under some kind of surveillance. One can hope, anyway.
I can't remember who, but along the way some hardcore right wing businessman injected $50m into Reddit, so subs like T_D not getting banned wasn't a surprise to me at all.
You eventually left, and now you advocate against them. Don't be so hard on yourself for being compassionate and giving them the benefit of the doubt. It's what good people do.
It wasn't when they helped organize a nazi rally. They got a quarantine years later for threatening to kill cops. They got banned because they had moved on and the admins wanted a smokescreen for banning chapotraphouse.
Padilla went on to say that for a few months after Jan. 6, he was not as remorseful as he is now, referring to social media posts that called for violence. “Remorse is rarely immediate, sir,” he told Bates.
B-B-But I thought all cops are white supremacists who defend Trump supporters. That's what Ressitors and Lemmings told me, and we all know that all Redditors are high-IQ intellectuals.
