of course, only one of them actually calls for the genocide of muslims, the other is genzedong
Bothsiding bigotry to get to their real target, just like with chapo...
there was a meme posted here, that very cheekily compared the banning of r/cth and r/t_d to how Alexander Kerensky's provisional government in 1917 tried to ban Lenin's newspaper Pravda and an tsarist restorationist/antisemitic newspaper at the same time to :both-sides: the russian revolution
obviously the stakes are much lower, but it's funny to think about. first as tragedy, then as farce
I unironically look at social media now as a user-created newspaper where site mods/admins are the editors of said newspaper while the userbase are the writers.
Because it's right! There's a reason the newspaper is dying and it's because social media has directly replaced it.
This is a good change as it actually decentralises information, it has VASTLY empowered the spread of information and disempowered old-media.
What we're seeing in the midst of the current information war is a lot of sites like facebook, twitter and reddit attempting to re-centralise control.
You can't do user-submitted content without empowering the left though, as soon as you try to disempower the left algorithmically (the only way you can do anything on social media) what you do is massively empower the far right and turn your platform into a nazi-producing factory.
196, self-proclaimed leftist sub, has a post on the frontpage celebrating the genzedong quarantine but not the chodi quarantine. really makes you think :thonk:
when your politics are real and offline
edit: i was making fun of the :funny-clown-hammer:ites on 196 alongside deleted by creator's exasperation about upvotes on the post, despite the juxtaposition shown here lmfao
It will be a smaller right-wing sub that has already mostly died in popularity and isn’t useful to the :cia: anymore.
They banned thedonald as cover for banning the cth sub, they'll ban chodi as cover for genzedong.
quarantined, can't view without verified email nor can posts reach the front page
They have a pattern of quarantining several subs at once. Makes it so that the libs get some easy wins and don't have to think about the left-punching too much.
