Live feed of the best moderator on the internet, straight into your veins.

Here's todays official post from the BARDCHIVE:

08/20/20 16:41:07 with a score of -2: https://old.reddit.com/r/redditsecurity/comments/idclo1/understanding_hate_on_reddit_and_the_impact_of/g29e1qd/?context=8

(Apparently mandatory disclaimer: I'm not an admin)

As a for-instance -- the model I use in conjunction with my work on /r/AgainstHateSubreddits breaks down types of hatred and harassment roughly equivalent to the ontology Reddit is using - but also, with respect to (for example) White Supremacist Extremism (an internal category I track), that has expressions in every other category - hatred based on religion, political compartment, gender, sexuality, ability, and with violent tendencies. They also specifically and pointedly instruct their adherents to hide the fact that they're White Supremacists - they tell them to "hide their power levels" and eschew specific distinctive signals that separate their efforts from the efforts of any other more-specifically-focused / "legitimate" political / social / cultural movements.

They know that people will reject them if they're openly identified as the KKK / neoNazis / violent white supremacists - so they do things that obscure that connection. And, sometimes, they do things that seem bizarre but are identifiably related to hatred, because they think it will "red-pill" recruits.

People delete accounts all the time.

Sometimes they delete them because they don't want to deal with a ration of shit.

I an pd many of my colleagues have read through MAGA forums since 2015. I literally got physically ill wading through /r/the_donald before writing a way to automate what I needed from the subreddit.

They - MAGA - conservative terrorist footsoldiers - absolutely are immune from factchecking, from experts, from cross-corroboration. They're primed to take action at the first sign of something (no matter how bullshit) that affirms their priors. That's why people are throwing backpacks into restaurants in Pennsylvania right now. To push terror.

An article was published just today about how there's a whole Russian disinfo operation that leverages that tendency - https://www.foreignaffairs.com/russia/lies-russia-tells-itself

Premised on Americans cutting free from knowledge and moderation and fact checking, premised on Americans embracing hair trigger reflex responses to rumours and bullshit narratives.

If we want to be robustly immune to foreign manipulation that incites stochastic Domestic Violent Extremism - we are going to have to embrace values that choke out disinformation and misinformation and terrorist incitement.

We have values. The Conservatives have abandoned all values. We're not playing their game, dancing their dance.
