You're talking here about a specific idea but I was just asking about the existence of the community at all. Regardless, OK, yes, please spell out what your concern is with that particular idea being discussed in the subreddit?
were you surprised to discover that the new york crimes echoes the same ecofascist genocidal sentiments that we see on reddit
No idea what you're rambling on about.
this isn't even the first time you've defended
on here
Firstly, I'm not defending anyone. Secondly, I've no idea what you're referring to.
I'm not suggesting doing that, I'm just contrasting the difference in value of discussions in the different fora.
Can I ask why? Like what consequences do you envision from the existence of this community that concern you?
Why are you concerned others are concerned?
I would say I was curious, not concerned.
You like the idea of fascists hyping each other up in a 500k subscriber echochamber, is that your thing?
No. I'd love it if people were reasonable and rational and didn't fall into tribal ideological traps like fascism or communism or religion but that's not the world we live in.
half a million people
In a subreddit. You consider half a million subscribers to a subreddit to be worthy of concern?
Making a post to begin a discussion on the potential dangers of such a large community's moderation policies is not an unworthy endeavor.
This doesn't seem like such a post. Firstly, it doesn't seem to me like beginning a discussion on a Reddit community's moderation policies here has any worth. It might have worth if the discussion was begun in the Reddit community itself but I can't see any worth beginning a discussion here.
Secondly, this post doesn't seem like an effort to begin an earnest discussion about potential dangers of moderation policies at all, it seems more like a mindless "ZOMG1!!!!1 LOOK AT THE FASCISTS ON REDDIT!!! WERE AMAZING AND THEIR STOOPID!!!"
So you go around the web and comment on all the fascism you find? To what end?
normalization
You're talking about Reddit, not the New York Times.
I don't see any value though, that's the point.
