the decisions that Reddit administration made to restrict, quarantine, and finally shutter that group off the site, at the times they did so, were probably the difference between Reddit continuing on as a business - and Reddit going into bankruptcy responding to law enforcement and lawsuit evidence discovery processes and liability lawsuits and criminal investigations and consumer abandonment.
LOL. Someone's not up to date. Even though they did shut down T_D they still got a warrant from the feds for all of the activity on T_D that was shut down a half year before Jan 6. If reddit's responsible for riot damage that happens ... they would have shut down antifa and BLM subs.
One of the realpolitik issues Reddit would have faced by shutting down T_D is the fact that DJT was actually opening a law enforcement investigation into the suppression of "conservative" political speech, premised on the talking point of "conservatives being deplatformed for being conservatives".
Reddit did not want to be the whipping post for this Red Scare witchhunt.
This makes zero sense. Reddit would have faced criticism for shutting down conservative speech, so they... shut down conservative speech? It's not even plausible, but Bardfinn thinks he's on to something.
How does a social media platform that relies on the consciences and willingness of good faith moderators to produce thriving, unproblematic communities - then turn around and identify, evaluate, test, remediate, and ultimately remove sociopathic and Machiavellian bad-faith subreddit operators who will say, on camera, with a smile "Yes we'd love to work with you!" while all the while passing out knives off camera.
On AHS there are frequently calls to jail reddit admins for tolerating speech AHS does not like.
There's supposed to be an archive of the sub's front page, too, but the assertion that r/conservative is a hate group is a foregone conclusion, and comprehensive overviews are only really necessary for establishing that a pattern of hatred exists.
It is because Bardfinn declares it so.
It wouldn't be r/Conservative if it weren't a lifeboat for health-threatening medical misinfo, violent and thinly-veiled-violent hate speech, casual hate speech, claims of defending free speech in the same sentence as demands for censoring scholars and authors ...
I'll bet the mods of conservative do violence. Like to their kids and spouses and stuff.

What does this have to do with hate speech
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Chud, the definition of hate speech has expanded to include:
Any criticism of BLM at all
Any suggestion that Kylie Rittenhouse was anything other than a nasty white supremacist who killed three black people.
Any suggestion than Jan 6 was not an insurrection that almost toppled our precious democracy.

I'm sorry but America is fricked and it's so obvious to see as an outsider. You have the same talking points on both sides only the names, dates and places are swapped depending on which side you sunscribe to (replace Jan 6 with BLM riots, Trump with Clinton, ICE with Weaponized IRS) it's seriously just 2 hyperpolarized sides that are saying the same thing - the other guy's news is fake and he wants to kill me and eat my babies.
Yankees are fricked up. Still love you guys though but you're legit fricked in the head.

Ah, the classic Bardfinn trick of saying that judges interpret law, therefore in theory they could start enforcing her own pet batshit legal theories. eg. hate speech should be illegal, Republicans should be subjected to mass incarceration / re-education, etc. "Reddit is going to be sued into bankruptcy" is a new one though, and surprising because it's going to be trivial to dismiss through empirical evidence. Usually Bardfinn is more measured in her hysteria.

On TV that's what we saw. There are vids from the day that are genuinely disturbing, though. Apparently the shit at the Capitol started a full half hour before Trump's rally was over. For every disturbing vid of the crowd being violent, though, there are other highly sus vids like the one of cops literally removing barricades and waving people in.

I mean prison, or any consequences, is unlikely, but there is some legit argument about the legality of Congress' investigation. It'll just be civil suits against the whole government in the end. There were a couple of SCOTUS rulings in the wake of the McCarthy hearings that put them in their place, they're only supposed to be able to investigate the President as part of the checks and balances on him. Otherwise it's the Executive branchs job to investigate crimes. They have also been sidestepping the courts and not getting warrants, arguing those laws only pertain to the executive branch.

When I modded, surprisingly often, I'd get something in the modqueue that was some gross threat of violence against someone. And I'd go, "That's very unusual and I've never seen this poster before." I'd look at history and it was someone who had posted in sports and other subs to get some karma...no political posts anywhere...sometimes they had gone to the free karma subreddit and then eventually BLAM...they'd try to make this violence post on r/con.
It was usually caught, removed and stuck in modqueue for review, but modding a sub like that you really get a first-hand seat to how there are legitimate attempts to false-flag subs and seed some kind of TOS-breaking shit on them.

It was not until after this that I saw his comments about having twenty accounts and LARPing so convincingly as a rightoid that he got invited to Atomwaffen servers. I'm not convinced THAT happened, but I'm totally convinced that there's a group out there that organizes this false flagging shit to see if they can get something to post an be outraged about on AHS.

IncelTears did the same shit, they were caught making incel type posts on minute old accounts which were then screenshotted and reposted on IT for karma and rage bait. People caught on to this when they all realized that these people "found" these posts literally within seconds of them being submitted. Its genuinely insane how much people give a shit about what others say in a forum you can completely ignore.
