The stuff they use now is way over the top and definitely doesn’t need to exist - advanced shadowbanning, manipulating the algorithm to boost stuff using bots to mark users who post in entirely different subs, etc
All of these things have been absolutely essential to leftist subreddits and efforts to move userbases leftwards.
Not to mention protecting of marginalised groups. Like yes it is absolutely suitable for /r/gamingcirclejerk to pre-ban everyone from fascist subreddits. Nothing of value is to be gained from having them participate.
Even in sports subreddits there's a case for using those features to fuck off the terfs brigade subreddits by pre-emptively shadowbanning them so they can't spread their vile shit every time a trans person comes 3rd in some event.
