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.
I don’t remember what the last straw was
Advertisers threatening to pull out of Reddit.
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.
/r/canada has/had a white supremacist mod too.

The same last straw reddit always has. There is no content they won’t allow as long as they’re getting ad impressions.
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.
Would they all just have moved to truth social now?
Sounds like the ATF providing guns to the cartel under the guise of tracking. They’re creating a demand for their services.
Encouraging Reddit to leave a forum open allowing potential violent criminals to post their plans is like “providing guns” and “creating a demand”? You’d have to twist yourself into a pretzel to come up with that.
Aren’t Republicans suing right now because of government manipulating social media? Guess it was OK when they were keeping the nazi recruiters open.
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.
Probably Peter Thiel. That shitbag throws money behind all sorts of online fascist spaces.
Fuck me too.
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.
I don’t remember what the last straw was
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.
They crossed a line no liberal would accept, talking about violence against police officers.
History shows otherwise.

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.
Everyone’s sorry once they get caught.
“I regret truthfully that I got caught, sir. That shouldn’t have happened.”
And they go right back to shouting “Trump won” after they think they’ve fooled the judge with their crocodile tears. No mercy for traitors.
Probably only sorry because he realized this entire movement was a sham and he was duped.
did he though? From what I’ve seen/heard, many of them would rather see themselves as martyrs / victims than admit that they’ve been duped
Good for him, let him wait for his hero to save him
Womp womp
Good. Fuck these traitors.
What the user deserves.
Am I tripping, or does he have the same name as a guy that got sent to Guantanamo Bay during Bush the Younger’s administration?
Jose Padilla
I thought the name sounded familiar.
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.
Hey you’re that mod from the thank the police community, right?
One of many 😎
Oh?
Which other communities do you mod?
Drama?
Could have stopped after the first sentence and actually not come off as a fucking idiot
