Reddit shuts down 'alt-right' subreddit - GMDino - 02-02-2017 https://www.cnet.com/news/reddit-bans-alt-right-subreddit/ Quote:Online community Reddit has banned the "alt-right" subreddit, /r/altright. The ban came down on Wednesday, citing violation of Reddit's content policy. A similar subreddit, /r/alternativeright, was also banned, though no specific reason was given. ![]() RE: Reddit shuts down 'alt-right' subreddit - SunsetBengal - 02-02-2017 (02-02-2017, 10:22 PM)GMDino Wrote: https://www.cnet.com/news/reddit-bans-alt-right-subreddit/Meh, sounds pretty much convoluted to me...

However, no one that I know is, or was a part of the "alt right" to begin with. Just the same as no one that I know on the political Left can personally name anyone that they know that takes part in any of any of these "protests". Both sides seem to condemn these actions of the extremists on each side. I have faith that civility will eventually win the day.

If those people don't have a containment sub/board, they will run rampant and spread hate across the site. I've seen it too many times. They have other sub-reddits, in which to meet on occasions like this. They will coordinate raids on liberal boards. Hopefully the don't another large denial of service attack. Damn smart-refrigerators, anyway. ![]() RE: Reddit shuts down 'alt-right' subreddit - GMDino - 02-04-2017 (02-02-2017, 10:51 PM)SunsetBengal Wrote: Likely so.

I guess technically we don't"know" anyone on this board. ![]() RE: Reddit shuts down 'alt-right' subreddit - GMDino - 02-04-2017 (02-04-2017, 11:16 AM)Rotobeast Wrote: I understand why Reddit done this, but it will haunt them. They weren't spreading their hate to other parts of the site before? ![]() What's funny was they were allowed to be hateful...but they still couldn't follow the one rule they had to. Which is why they are morons.

And, yes, they spread hate outside their board. But now.....they'll rally as a unified super-moron, kind of like bees in the old cartoons formed hammers, ect....yeah, I'm tired...lol Sent from my SM-S820L using Tapatalk RE: Reddit shuts down 'alt-right' subreddit - BmorePat87 - 02-07-2017 They'll just use twitter.

I guess I hadn't realized it'd been around that long. I will be delving into it though. I'm finding out that it is essential in promotion and will need it to spread Libertarianism in my area. I'm also finding out (via my wife) that it's a great tool to get to know congressmen better. She digs Amash and Sasse.

Using it to claim our President is from Africa can also be your sole qualification for running for President. RE: Reddit shuts down 'alt-right' subreddit - BoomerFan - 02-07-2017 Kind of unrelated but I understand that mods on two similarly minded subs on reddit (r/KotakuInAction and another one which I'll just call PPD because a gentleman doesn't use such language) made claims that they were being blackmailed by "SJWs" who were threatening to dox them. After being pressed they retracted the claims stating it was just a "prank" they planned a week ago. Of course their followers are imagining all manner of conspiracy where even the retraction is a lie. You can read about it on https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/ . It does tie in to the aspect of some people on reddit probably needing to be on medication of some sort. |
