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.
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.
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.
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.
They crossed a line no liberal would accept, talking about violence against police officers.
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.
Probably only sorry because he realized this entire movement was a sham and he was duped.
Good for him, let him wait for his hero to save him
Womp womp
Good. Fuck these traitors.
