Ms. Penny 🌅🧙♀️ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

/r/AgainstHateSubreddits existed for 4 years as "Debate and debunk hate groups". In 2019 I came on board, armed with a plan to get Reddit, advertisers, & app stores to understand that the hate groups were untenable.

9 months later, hate groups were banned across Reddit.

Chad Loder (@chadloder.bsky.social):

The way you defeat fascist movements is by disrupting fascist organizing, and — failing that, as history has shown — by killing fascists.

Nothing else has ever worked.

Countering fascist disinformation was never meant to be a way to disrupt fascist movements. It operates at the intellectual layer.

Ms. Penny 🌅🧙♀️ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

That wasn't by any debate. All we did was document and report. We made a herculean effort to excise the people who wanted to wrestle with the pigs. We followed Data & Society's Oxygen of Amplification white paper, and organised moderators & communities.

The Oxygen of Amplification

Ms. Penny 🌅🧙♀️ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

One of the things we absolutely learned - from behaviour, and often straight from their mouths - is that fascists want you to dance with them.

They want access to your audience, your friend networks, your family, to ride your reputation, to be lent unearned importance. They want access.

Ms. Penny 🌅🧙♀️ Oaken (@skywitches.net):

They are absolutely willing to find any way to motivate you to dance with them. They'll do or say anything. They'll make a hundred sockpuppets, circumvent blocks, anything.

The most powerful thing you can do is hold the boundary.

Refuse. Together.
