r/worldnews is almost exclusively bots, paid posters (US or Israeli troll farms), or right wing techbro suburbanites.

Really goes to show how easy it is to game Reddit by putting the right moderators in. /r/news more or less had mostly the same type of real people; it’s a default sub so naturally there shouldn’t be such a huge gulf between there ideological makeup and while /r/news is still filled with hasbara people you can at least see SOME pushback that receives a decent amount of upvotes from time to time.

It’s because the moderation team was not infiltrated to the same degree! That’s all there is to it! Looking up worldnews posts regarding Israel from around 2012/2013 reveals a strikingly different discourse that is not seen today. It’s all fake folks!

The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.

This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.

The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
