MODERATORS
Reddit also has policies against posting violence, but apparently it doesn’t count if you post Ukrainians or Israelis proudly showing off their slaughter.
Reddit allows violence, so long as it is in line with the status quo.
There used to be subs like watchpeopledie and makemycoffin. I barely use reddit anymore but i wouldnt he suprised if there was still a part that has similar content.
Exactly. They banned those and began enforcing strict bans on violent content. Until the Ukraine war, and they wanted to assist in propaganda, so the popular page started getting flooded with some gruesome shit. Though I don’t really see how that helped drum up any support for the war.
This is more to the point.
lol @ the downvoters, go join one of those literally fascist militaries if you love them so much 🙃
Using those specific examples, you must be naive to not think 100% of people reading this would see you as a moron.
I’m not sure 100% of people would cheer for somebody with a black sun on their uniform, or someone shooting a child.
