    Brigading was very much allowed on Reddit as long as it didn’t push the neoliberal imperialist status quo. Since the biggest leftist subs were banned or quarantined the shitheap of a website has seen an unceasing drumbeat of “China bad” and Cold War 2.0 propaganda, with any dissenting opinion piled on and follows across subs and threads. Often for weeks.

      It was explicitly not allowed. You can argue about enforcement if you want, but it wasn't allowed.

        Rules only exist to the extent they are enforced. Words aren't magical. Only the directed use of power gives rules reality, everything else is just so much pablum.
