It’s because of big brother quarantining /r/russia I think.
The influx started before the quarantine (at least as far as I’m aware), but that is definitely one of the reasons.
My pet theory is the war in Ukraine is polarizing liberals away from principled leftists, and Reddit’s MLs are realizing Reddit will only become more toxic as the war develops.
Yeah this is true. Reddit has become truly horrendous since the war began. Back when Hamas used missiles on Israel, whatever the state of the website was looks tame by comparison now.
Even meme subs are unbearable now. The star trek, dune, and always sunny in philadelphias meme subs are all doing variations of putin = hitler memes.
don’t you know, the biggest opposition to fascism was checks smudged notes on a paper napkin Hitler himself. Wow, I’m such a hard-hitting political satirist, time to jerk off about this with a bunch of self-important jagoffs who have an equally poor understanding of history and political science.
There’s a Romanian neofascist (formerly known as ‘consaine’) on Reddit who repeatedly argues that the NSDAP was ‘antifa’ because it purged some pro‐Mussolini members once.
I wish that I were joking.
There’s been rumors going around that genzedong may be quarantined/banned. The war drumming is a jackhammer on the eyes, really hard to read that site.
Hopefully that means more people are starting to smell the bullshit that capitalism is spewing.
I didn’t realise I already had an account and made an application lmao. Glad this place exists.
