    1. bad actors fomenting conflict.
      we’ll see how well it works.
      the more they use these tactics, the less effective they are.

    2. Submission statement: I mean it’s no secret that mods have been ban hammer crazy in many of the main and niche subs. You don’t need to actually violate any rules, they will just ban you for having the wrong opinion. Sometimes you don’t even need the wrong opinion, even commenting in a sub they don’t like is enough. I recall in the run up to the last election mods of the main subs were openly banning everyone that openly supported trump, swatting them like flies.

      The point is, all this does is is create an extreme echo chamber where dangerous ideas are allowed to flourish. It also gives people a completely distorted idea of consensus views.

    3. I think social media is as a whole, it’s dehumanized us and brought us closer online yet so much further apart in reality. Ever since they changed algorithms from “most recent” to “most engaging”, society has gone down hill. Reddit is definitely not helping with how left and echoey it’s become in the past 5 years

      Hell yeah it is. Reddit is a shithole. I hate this place. I just like my 3-4 subs here, including this one.

      Why do you guys believe the shi you see online these are textbook keyboard warriors / bots / troll farms etc civil war isn’t gonna happen no matter what propaganda they try pushing

      Hell yeah it is. It would be one thing if this was like an anything goes site. But you can get banned for just about anything….. except promoting violence against law enforcement, Republicans, Christians and white males… You know like most things.

      You’re witnessing how they create a civil war in real time.

      Good time to watch TV and study how they do it.

      “Sorry Reddit censors,” as if Reddit would actually do anything about this

    9. Sometimes I can’t tell if all these posts are bots or if some are real people that have been effectively radicalized by the bots. 

    10. I think it’s fair to say most media is now.

      when you are driven by clicks, desperate for attention as the last gold rush in the information economy, you are going to go for the amygdala.

      This is the cost.

      All lot of the reddits in that direction are *staggeringly* violent.

      Which is weird, because I totally made an obvious joke about punching someone once on Reddit and I was banned in that sub. Reddit has been on the take for years.

      Imma go with lexcorp army of monkey bots tryng to get smooth brains to shoot first, with the corporate partners looking the other way, And then smooth brains echoing. The point is… Stay peaceful. Don’t fall into any traps and don’t take bait. The people are fine. Just talk.

      Reddit is so infiltrated, so stuffed with bots and glowies that it’s pretty much more a petri dish than a social media site at this point.

      „Karl Marx was very pro pew pew“

      Yeah, machine gunning your own people into trenches. If you stand with Marx you are evil like him.

      Now cue the bots telling me I’m wrong. 😐

      Just like when the Right screamed „CIVIL WAR OFFICIALLY BEGUN!!“ after Kirk and Ukrainian lady..it’s all social media posturing from behind the screens.

      Nothing will happen until Americans can’t put food on the table.

    14. You can find similar comments on other forums and websites. Left and right. It’s not a singular website or discussion that’s radicalizing people. It’s the combination of society, online discussion, and the access to information.

    15. Reddit is doing something. Mods censor a lot of things that aren’t feeding into the radical left narrative. I tried doing a post on askReddit: “for anyone who was upset about jimmy kimmel, what are your thoughts about google and facebook admitting they censored due to pressure from Biden admin?” It was removed by mods instantly. And that sub is full of political posts and I didn’t break any rules.

      Government propaganda

      The government is literally incentivising citizens to enact violence through ICE.

    17. LowComfortable5676 on

      Apparently it’s okay to be like this as long as you are on one side of the political spectrum

    18. Pandaman521 on

      Why are we redacting screen names? If they are brave enough to post, let’s see who they are.

    19. No, it’s literal no life basement dwellers trying to get internet points. If you were to escalate and stand up against the evil establishment you wouldn’t write comments this regarded. They are just doomer jerkers, jerking too close to the sun. If you were here 5-9 years ago this wouldn’t be new, this is exactly what happened.

    20. Yepp and they’re preventing people from talking about radical right shit too.

    21. Any-Video4464 on

      When people are inundated with shit like this everywhere they turn, eventually it lands on a legit crazy or mentally ill person that basically feels like they have nothing to live for and then something terrible happens in real life.
