Great work dramatards you did it again.
Reddit banned a community that sought to collect "bounties" on people seeking abortions in Texas.
The r/TXBountyHunters community was "dedicated to sharing tips on identifying, reporting, and collecting bounty on those breaking Texas law TX SB8," according to its description, and had 68 members.
On Reddit, snitches called themselves "bounty hunters," and sought out ways to make money off of other people's vulnerability under the law.
Twitter rube who took the bait and is the source for the article.

That was my bait. I am going to have the article printed and framed. I still don't comprehend how so many of these r-slurs are falling so hard for a fairly obvious bait. As if there's actually people on Reddit unironically typing shit like, "by morning we had become sinners in the eyes of the good lord." I think the key takeaway here is when these journos and abortion enthusiasts see a "Christian" their brains malfunction and they lose what little ability they had to think rationally. Their brains are rotted from the years of Twitterverse and god knows what else and they're completely out of touch with reality. Good to keep in mind for future baits.

As if the r-slurs at Vice even care whether what they print is true (or have the mental functions to discern reality from the distortion they've created in their heads)

Anyone who used to be a generic lib remembers how simplistic their worldview used to be
Good intentions lead to good outcomes and history is simply a story of nice people vs mean people. In that framework trolling or sincerity arent too far apart because its still mean intentions to them. Youre still saying the nono words and you still dont appreciate how SERIOUS the topic is

I think it also has to do with how coordinated it is. I dont think they consider the possibility of multiple people trolling with the same goal, so as long as the interactions look genuine, and no one even pretends its a joke, they will never figure it out

Not being in tune with that part of the internet/taking it too seriously is one thing, but it's not helped by concerted trolling often having IRL effects as well, which is also taking the internet too seriously.
Basically what'm saying is unironic internet loicenses when.
