Motherfuckers created a rule about how pointing out that overpopulation myths are ecofascistic lobbying is actually "bad faith" somehow so now every post, no matter what it is about, full of "this is why billions must die" bullshit.
There's 500k subscribers btw.
You're viewing a single thread.
That sub used to be part of the "reddit left" with a decent overlap with latestagecapitalism etc. Bernie era used to be a good time to "educate" people there about socialism, even if just pointing out that collapse is capitalism's fault.
But given the massive overlapping userbase a lot of those old users moved on, as you know the reddit "left" is a shadow now(thats being generous), so this is just another example of the overall trend of the site. Every criticism of capitalism/US is "political" therefore confined within blue vs red MAGA now.
I was totally a subscriber back then!
They used to actually moderate against ecofash tendencies iirc
I remember that and shitliberalssay being pretty good back then.
Shitliberalssay was great because you'd get the odd confused conservative wander in and start agreeing with stuff before they realized where they were. I wonder if it's still decent, probably a lot of crossover between that sub and here honestly, there was a similar vibe
sls is still decent, but activity seems to have dropped off lately though
I remember when /r/enlightenedcentrism was a place where people made fun of centrists rather than people saying that Democrats and Republicans are essentially the same
I never unsuited, just got permabanned for anti-Nazi. The sub got worse as the number of subs grew. I had a few comments moderated out of existence back in the higher science content days for making concrete suggestions regarding the overpopulation of billionaires problem. If that's ecofacism, then I am probably guilty as charged.
Anybody left of Clinton and a lot of people probablly slightly to her right correctly realized reddit wad a blighted place or got banned for saying dems aren't going to save us.
Fash has spread by like 50% over what it used to be in pretty much every subreddit putting some fo them at about 149%.
All of the legitimate, principled left on Reddit has been stamped out. All that's left are the Vaushite types, and unabashed libs. The more decent subs are gonna get banned sooner or later and they know it. Even the subs for the good podcasts are in starvation mode.
