Yeah. Like, if you're gonna call for Reddit to sort its shit out, look at the actual issues like T_D and Chapo. For example, KIA is kind of a shithole at times, but it's not a hate sub. They hate SJW ideology, and definitely some SJWs, but I don't think they hate people for what they are, rather for what they say. They do tend to go too far and have become somewhat too ideological in their own right but that's neither here nor there.
Well, whatever. If you set a bar for what's not allowed, and T_D is over that bar, then you have to look at some things on the other side that are just as bad.
but they don't violate any of the site rules afaik
Suprisingly telling people they are Russian bots who should kill themselves are that all Republicans should kill themselves, or you a republican should kill yourself because you are and I quote "doing irreparable harm to both culture and the world" is against the Reddit rules
Okay but you literally get your comments removed within a few hours of you insult anyone. I can call you a shill and a cum guzzling retard and the most I would get here is maybe a ban of the mods decided to fuck with me
Okay but you literally get your comments removed within a few hours if you insult anyone.
Naw you don't, calling someone a Russian bot is "the same as accusing someone of being a CTR shill" according to Qu1nlan in the meta thread about how shitty Politics was quite a few months ago but you can be sure those reports if the offender who triggered politics is rightwing never have anything happen.
I can call you a shill and a retard
here
Amazingly most people hold /r/Politics to a higher standard than here.
29 years and nine months ago I registered to vote and became a member of The Republican Party which was founded in 1854 to oppose slavery and stand for the dignity of human life. Today I renounce my membership in the Republican Party. It is fully the party of Trump.
Sometimes it's nice to take a few days off the busy city life to quietly reflect God's intentions while patting the big beautiful lolcows bursting with lolmilk.
for real. Chapo is the left wing equivalent of /r/neoliberal. Rich, white milquetoast adolescents whose ambitions end at shitposting basic political talking points.
fullcommunism, fullanarchy, and LSC advocate for mass murder on a daily basis lmfao
It ended up being more of a political statement of the views of the mods in charge of it, at least partially. While the message is obviously inaccessible now (and this screenshot could conceivably be fake), /u/n8thegr8 - one of the moderators of /r/TheBanout2018, but again I can't prove that anymore - said there are no left-leaning hate subs.
In other words, all the hate subs are centre or right-wing. The left is innocent.
I could ping the users in said screenshot to vouch for it being real, but it probably isn't worth the hassle, and even then, I could conceivably be plotting with them to some nefarious end.
N8 will just say, "Haha... I was trolling. I totally TRIGGERED the right-wingers... then we'll get a subreddit called 'right-wing fragility' out of it so the same group of power mods can harass redditors."
Not really. I mean, it's dark humor.... it's gonna be crass as hell, rough as can be expected, and if someone doesn't particularly like dark humor they're going to be offended.
Yeah, that's bullshit. r/fullcommunism and r/completeanarchy call for the death of the bourgeoisie on a regular basis. They want to destroy the middle class by any means necessary and they're extremely hateful about it
Exactly, they basically want to destroy the middle class by any means necessary. "Death to the bourgeoisie" is a meme to them but it's still calling for the destruction of a large group of people
The admins have done so much at this point to isolate them too that I don't get the focus on them. I think the place is a shit hole but I have to go out of my way to number into them so who gives a shit.
Copypastas notwithstanding, SRD, CB2, SRS, and every major sub we pissed off royally have pretty much convinced reddit we're a major hub for organized cyberharassment.
A group of people who mod a ton of the default/major subs got butthurt and decided to make a list of “hate” subs with the intention of banning from their subs all of the users who participate in these hate subs. They just realized quite recently that this was a retarded idea
That's just the ones that was caught in the shot. Each one of the mods there have a shitton of subs they mod in, like it's some kind of dick measuring contest to see who can have more, and they want to ban anyone from all the subs they can if you post in their 'offensive' subs...hell, they got two of em in darkjokes and pretty much shut that place down.
I would have adored to see the shitstorm if they actually tried this and broke sitewide rules, and the admins being caught between "incite another TheFattening or ban all our power mods who do this shit for free".
Man, that's sad. I kinda wanted to see the banout actually happening. It would have been kinda like the banos snap except it made people mad instead of happy and would have ended with gallowboob getting his account suspended.
There's a slight difference in scale and criteria.
For the good old snap, the criteria was to have posted or commented in /r/thanosdidnothingwrong. Users were then presumably banned at random until half of the pool at the start were banned. Prior to the ban, that sub had at least 644,627 subscribers, and given that it has 563,669 now, there probably weren't too many more after that image, so approximately 320k to 330k were banned, from a very select pool. Even that took hours to complete, and required Reddit Admin approval.
What /r/TheBanout2018 was suggesting was all participating subreddits would ban any user who had been active in any 'hate sub'. Firstly, /r/The_Donald alone has 646,428 subscribers - more than the total that were in the snapping pool. Then add on more for all the other 'hate sub' users who aren't subbed to T_D. I'd estimate that would reach 1 million users. Also, what about users who aren't subscribed to a 'hate sub', but are active in them? Do they get banned? That would increase the total further.
Now all of those have to be banned from all participating subreddits.
The botting would be so incredibly obvious that the Reddit Admins would have to give permission, since there's no way they could turn a blind eye to a mass ban two to three times the size of what Thanos did, on multiple subs. At that point, wouldn't it be simpler to just ban the 'hate sub' in question if they agreed with what they were doing?
Also, what about users who aren't subscribed to a 'hate sub', but are active in them?
There's actually no way to get a list of subreddit subscribers. (Well the admins can do it but these people couldn't). They could only ban people based on comments in the other subs. Which would probably still be a lot, but I'm guessing 10%-50% of the subscriber total.
Holy shit, if they do decide to do it we need to start mass pinging everyone we can to reply here. And even Gallowboob would get banned from his own subs for posting here
It wouldn't take as long as that. There's a limit to how many users you can ban from a particular subreddit in a given timeframe, although I can't remember it off the top of my head. This doesn't effect other subreddits' ban limits, since that would be silly.
The ban time for 2 million users to be banned from a particular subreddit (it could be concurrent with other subreddits' bannings) is 56131 seconds, or 15 hours 35 minutes 31 seconds.
That said, it would be so obvious that an automated ban was occurring in blatant violation of the rules that they would simply have to get the permission of the admins. Also, it would possibly kill the servers, depending on the number of subs banning at once.
Meh, let them. Will just hurt them more when Gallowboob is inevitably outted as a pedophile and everyone throws SS's and archive links showing reddit admins were repeatedly warned
Never forget it took Something Awful and 4chan teaming up to get a subreddit about underage creepshots banned, right when reddit got super popular and mainstream.
IDK, man, GallowBoob and the other powermods that signed up for this treat their Reddit accounts as as precious of a possession as their two kidneys. If they were to actually try to carry out the banout2018, not only it would get reverted before it could even be finished, but also their accounts would get suspended, which would probably cause a few of them to an hero.
A group of people who mod a ton of the default/major subs got butthurt and decided to make a list of “hate” subs with the intention of banning from their subs all of the users who participate in these hate subs. They just realized quite recently that this was a retarded idea
lol, the funny thing is that a decent amount of powermods are behind the scenes stirring up shit for fun under alts. I know, because I was modded to a few large porn subreddits by some of them(to do css) a few years ago around the time all that /u/violentacrez/SRS business was going down. It was all a lot more coordinated and retarded than I realized.
You would think powermods of all people would understand that if they rock the boat too much their admin lords will hand all the cyber fiefs they hold to the next guy in line without a second thought. The admins made this clear after david-me's failed coup of KIA, a community they don't even like.
Also set to private today: the sub the high commander of the self-elected reddit PC police, Shane, created to post screenshots of the messages he got after getting deepfakes and other subs closed.
What they dont get is that r/drama actively harries degenerate subs that deserve it like r/greatawakening, r/milliondollarextreme and r/cringeanarchy while subs like r/topmindsofreddit and r/againsthatesubreddits smugly circle jerk about how much better they are than those subs, creating no impact. We keep the barbarians from the gate and it's worth it if a few harmless lolcows get caught in the crossfire.
I did a study, in the time that pinging has been banned the brash retardedness in those degenerate subs has grown 1000%....r/greatawakening alone has grown 15000 members which is almost double the number it had grown in the 3 months prior. We've seen a 70% reduction in the use of the N word from r/milliondollarextreme members who frequently post on r/drama. WE ARE WINNING LIKE THE CANCER THAT WAS KILLING JOHN MCCAIN!!
Inaction and milque·toast mods are what is destroying reddit, not the crass culture warriors of r/drama. /u/spez, I demand that give us the green light to ping again and that you order these weak willed mods of the default subs to stand down and let us do what needs to be done!
I wouldn't be surprised if out of all the communities on this site r/drama has been the most successful in combating extremism. I've seen SJWs and rightoids alike get pinged here and actually assimilate into our radically centrist borg cube after getting hit over the head with mockery outside of their safe space.
Exactly. When normies come here they're confused while the extremists claim we're a hot bed for which ever side they're against
John McCain said it best:
He who fights with retards should be careful lest he thereby become a retard. And if thou gays long into an abussy, the abussy will also gays into thee"
I've seen SJWs and rightoids alike get pinged here and actually assimilate into our radically centrist borg cube
Recently? I remember the strategy used to be, bait a lolcow into the sub by pinging them, goad them into ridiculous argument until there's enough material to make fun of them with all while upvoting them the so they don't get discouraged and leave. Now all I see is people get whiny and spam some shitty meme "mdefugee out out out" when they used to get mean and dig up some personal shit. I dont think I've seen any extremists assimilating to /r/drama since the 20k sub mark.

The botting would be so incredibly obvious that the Reddit Admins would have to give permission, since there's no way they could turn a blind eye to a mass ban two to three times the size of what Thanos did, on multiple subs. At that point, wouldn't it be simpler to just ban the 'hate sub' in question if they agreed with what they were doing?

1 xxretartistxx 2018-09-01
would you have done the math if we were talking about money?
1 AnnoysTheGoys 2018-09-01
Only if I had a stake in it

I’d do the math if we were talking about money.... for money.

There's actually no way to get a list of subreddit subscribers. (Well the admins can do it but these people couldn't). They could only ban people based on comments in the other subs. Which would probably still be a lot, but I'm guessing 10%-50% of the subscriber total.
1 KYZ123 2018-09-01
Either way, it's considerably more than Thanos did, and on many more subs.
1 imnotagayboy 2018-09-01
And that means anyone who has ever been dragged here by mean pings would get banned off a bunch of default subs, LOL
1 DrRockzosCocaine 2018-09-01
Holy shit, if they do decide to do it we need to start mass pinging everyone we can to reply here. And even Gallowboob would get banned from his own subs for posting here
1 YouGuysAreNazisMan 2018-09-01
Let's say, by estimate, two million users go to their perceived hatesubs.
There are current 47 default subreddits, let's say the mods mod at least one of each.
That amounts to 94 million bans.
The /r/ThanosDidNothingWrong ban-spree took 2 hours, 43 minutes and 43 seconds to ban 350000 users.
Stretching this out to 94 million bans increases this to 30 days, 12 hours, 49 minutes and 37 seconds.
And that's not taking into account the hundreds of other big subreddits they moderate too.
tl;dr: Powermods have a BMI higher than their IQ.
1 KYZ123 2018-09-01
It wouldn't take as long as that. There's a limit to how many users you can ban from a particular subreddit in a given timeframe, although I can't remember it off the top of my head. This doesn't effect other subreddits' ban limits, since that would be silly.
The ban time for 2 million users to be banned from a particular subreddit (it could be concurrent with other subreddits' bannings) is 56131 seconds, or 15 hours 35 minutes 31 seconds.
That said, it would be so obvious that an automated ban was occurring in blatant violation of the rules that they would simply have to get the permission of the admins. Also, it would possibly kill the servers, depending on the number of subs banning at once.

IDK, man, GallowBoob and the other powermods that signed up for this treat their Reddit accounts as as precious of a possession as their two kidneys. If they were to actually try to carry out the banout2018, not only it would get reverted before it could even be finished, but also their accounts would get suspended, which would probably cause a few of them to an hero.
1 imnotagayboy 2018-09-01

Yup, they even stickied an article about their whining 😂
1 EasySchmitty 2018-09-01
This has to be an elaborate joke, it has to be. I know people get pathetic over their mod powers but there’s no way they can exceed that with this.
It’s more fun to take the /r/4chan or /r/drama route and mess with users, but if they’re serious that’s actually really sad.
1 aqouta 2018-09-01

A group of people who mod a ton of the default/major subs got butthurt and decided to make a list of “hate” subs with the intention of banning from their subs all of the users who participate in these hate subs. They just realized quite recently that this was a retarded idea

lol, the funny thing is that a decent amount of powermods are behind the scenes stirring up shit for fun under alts. I know, because I was modded to a few large porn subreddits by some of them(to do css) a few years ago around the time all that /u/violentacrez/SRS business was going down. It was all a lot more coordinated and retarded than I realized.

1 _Suprememe_ 2018-09-01
You would think powermods of all people would understand that if they rock the boat too much their admin lords will hand all the cyber fiefs they hold to the next guy in line without a second thought. The admins made this clear after david-me's failed coup of KIA, a community they don't even like.

1 charming_tainter 2018-09-01
What they dont get is that r/drama actively harries degenerate subs that deserve it like r/greatawakening, r/milliondollarextreme and r/cringeanarchy while subs like r/topmindsofreddit and r/againsthatesubreddits smugly circle jerk about how much better they are than those subs, creating no impact. We keep the barbarians from the gate and it's worth it if a few harmless lolcows get caught in the crossfire.
I did a study, in the time that pinging has been banned the brash retardedness in those degenerate subs has grown 1000%....r/greatawakening alone has grown 15000 members which is almost double the number it had grown in the 3 months prior. We've seen a 70% reduction in the use of the N word from r/milliondollarextreme members who frequently post on r/drama. WE ARE WINNING LIKE THE CANCER THAT WAS KILLING JOHN MCCAIN!!
Inaction and milque·toast mods are what is destroying reddit, not the crass culture warriors of r/drama. /u/spez, I demand that give us the green light to ping again and that you order these weak willed mods of the default subs to stand down and let us do what needs to be done!
1 _Suprememe_ 2018-09-01
I wouldn't be surprised if out of all the communities on this site r/drama has been the most successful in combating extremism. I've seen SJWs and rightoids alike get pinged here and actually assimilate into our radically centrist borg cube after getting hit over the head with mockery outside of their safe space.
1 charming_tainter 2018-09-01
Exactly. When normies come here they're confused while the extremists claim we're a hot bed for which ever side they're against
John McCain said it best:
1 MaybeNotaTurtle 2018-09-01
Recently? I remember the strategy used to be, bait a lolcow into the sub by pinging them, goad them into ridiculous argument until there's enough material to make fun of them with all while upvoting them the so they don't get discouraged and leave. Now all I see is people get whiny and spam some shitty meme "mdefugee out out out" when they used to get mean and dig up some personal shit. I dont think I've seen any extremists assimilating to /r/drama since the 20k sub mark.
1 _Suprememe_ 2018-09-01
I didn't say it was common, I just said I've seen it happen.
