MODERATORS
There are far-right Discord servers where they praise mass shooters that target minorities.
The most popular topic of discussion is "how to make more people more racist" and the most common suggestion is "memes", since they appeal to kids and are what started most of them down their path of dogshit.
It's not a joke.
This very much is a joke compared to that. This is a mass flooding and is actually more helpful to preventing further abuse. Unlike a controlled and curated slow release of tailor made messages.
Don't let your out rage boner ruin your ability to actually see the world around you. You do your own cause no favors if you are nothing but a zelot.
Or I can tell the difference between "making jokes" and "pushing far-right propaganda using jokes".
