time capsule from 14 years...so apparently digg had an army of far right posters that would raid reddit...is this why digg collapsed?

poster was 50 at the time...

so 64ish now...

>Now they know how Democrat politicians and Dem appointed judges have been feeling. Trump has made violence against those you don't agree with acceptable, if not commendable. It's similar to him threatening military action against countries who won't willingly let him buy them or just downright take them and their natural resources. Are you questioning what you've created GOP? Voting a certain way because you fear harm from constituents in your own party shows the world that, besides Musk, MAGA calls the shots.

bro is 64 and still posting shit like this...

this fella is fun...

>I think we manage to deal with these types of frickers alright.

>I set my filters to show me stuff that has -9 karma, they can't hide shit from me.

>Also: sub-reddits. You do know we have white-power types in our midsts, right? They have their space, we have ours. I don't go there, they don't pollute my space.

>Sub-reddits must make it really hard to shut up people you disagree with.

oh they are probably dead...last post 5 years ago...

>Yeah, this "thing" I just got the exciting experience of being triaged right to the front of ER line with a perforated ulcer. I know my alcohol intake contributed to the condition. So abdominal surgery, repaired intestines etc. I spent a week in hospital, no drinking or smoking, and really no cravings Weird. Yet my first stop out of the hospital was the beer store.... I should really be doing things differently, but ...I wonder where my sense of self-preservation is failing in this... Yeah?

was it really that bad...i was an anonymous 4chan hacker before getting a job...thats when i got on digg...but just laughed at memes and found cool websites...sfw shit...

OP

>I definitely have more success on the subreddits, and submit to them more now. Especially political links relevant to specific states that I'll now submit to that state's subreddits. However, I am a heavy /r/politics submitter and that's the site that will get your stuff seen. I post links because I want them to be viewed by the largest audience possible, and you have to go to the bigger sites for that.

imagine being 50 and posting this, and being 64 and still fighting the batlle jfc...

>After the last election many repugs realized they did not understand this "new" media called the Internet (AKA a series of tubes). They have worked very hard at trying to gain control of the dialog on the Internet and the only problem for them has that the Internet lets an individual retort. With TV and radio they get to bombard someone with half-facts, lies, edits, and all this filled with emotive speech. You can do the same on the Internet of course, but people can point out the falsehoods and manipulations.

people were writing articles lmao i was goofing off on feministing, toplessrobot, and cracked...

>As a member of the investigation team that exposed these "Digg Patriots" (ultra-conservative christian nationalists actually), it seems there is a varying degree of participation by them on Reddit. They are a danger wherever they >go however, seriously damaged the now defunct Propeller, and have completely overrun the new social media platform OldDogg.

>You can read more about them on the two original articles, the most recent evidence expose, or just read their archived group postings for a look inside the mind of the modern American wingnut.

>Edited to correct hyperlink locations

god i wish they have made a new account and witness this garbage...

>[–][deleted] 10 points 14 years ago

>this isn't exactly a surprise . I hope reddit will nullify much of their influence, as they were a big reason digg turned into a shit hole (mass burying of stories, burying of opinions they didn't like, harassment, etc).

LMFAO

>[–]Riggs909 1 point 14 years ago >

>I highly doubt /r/politics has anything to fear from any Digg far right brigade, if the usual frontpage is any indication.

>well have times have changed...

>[deleted] -4 points 14 years ago

>I don't know that it matters much, as opposed to the much more powerful influence of the left bury brigade already on reddit.

>[–]SarahLee 3 points 14 years ago

>Do you have any proof that there is a coordinated, organized effort by liberals to bury posts on Reddit as opposed to a simple liberal majority on this site?

>[–]novenator 2 points 14 years ago

>There is no proof because there is no left bury brigade, never has been. I know because I go to ALL the meetings. ;) This is just a blind counter-accusation by the right, I believe deflection tactic #4 in their playbook:

look, i dont know what disease it is that makes me scurry through user profiles but i find gems like these...like time capsules when people said r-slurred instead of regarded...

effort post...words words words, but fricking, explore its funny...
