Reason being 'blatant disinformation', obviously. What's even funnier is it was my response to a lib accussing a comrade of being a russian bot.

Remember how that sub was couped?

    Wasn't that sub originally controlled by Sanders fans but got literally couped by the admins and handed over to some Biden bros?

      And the for a while after the coup, the comment section was defaulted to sort by controversial, meaning you'd see incredibly lib comments at the top of every section.

      Someone correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't that during the peak of the Tara Reade story breaking? Or after?

        During.

        The mods also auto removed posts and comments that contained the phrase "rape apologia" or "rape apologists" because so many leftist were (correctly) pointing out the way the #VoteBlue crowd were flipping on Me too for Biden.

          Thanks for confirming that. PCM was basically the only sub that could get "Joe Biden is a rapist" to hit r/all so I wasn't terribly surprised they did that

            Yeah, I actually found it through /all, not through Chapo. And then almost immediately after Bernie suspended his campaign, boom. Goodbye old mods, hello new mods handpicked by admins in a post where at least a few CTH users requests to be mods were removed (myself included).

            Huh, weird that we got a bunch of users from /r/neoliberal flooding in, and mods who were friendly to them, and a bunch of new rules specifically designed to push that content to the top......

            I eventually gave up on that sub.

            I did go back recently, and I noticed that everyone who had MDelegate flair still were automatically switched to Kamala Harris flair. Which I assume is another troll by the mods who weren't around to earn MDelegates in the first place.
