Motherfuckers created a rule about how pointing out that overpopulation myths are ecofascistic lobbying is actually "bad faith" somehow so now every post, no matter what it is about, full of "this is why billions must die" bullshit.

There's 500k subscribers btw.

"Why are you concerned with the normalization of the notion that some people being alive is just simply over the limits?"

You're talking about Reddit, not the New York Times.

were you surprised to discover that the new york crimes echoes the same ecofascist genocidal sentiments that we see on reddit

they aren't anything new and have been around since at least the green revolution (in their modern iteration)

Reddit communities with 500k subscribers, for better or for worse, can influence culture at large. Making a post to begin a discussion on the potential dangers of such a large community's moderation policies is not an unworthy endeavor.

And also we're talking about a sub with half a million people.

half a million people

In a subreddit. You consider half a million subscribers to a subreddit to be worthy of concern?

[-] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 37 points 2 years ago

Yes, i do.

[-] rah@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago

Can I ask why? Like what consequences do you envision from the existence of this community that concern you?

[-] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 37 points 2 years ago

Do i really have to spell it out why it is bad that the idea "some people are ballast" spreading is bad?

[-] rah@feddit.uk 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You're talking here about a specific idea but I was just asking about the existence of the community at all. Regardless, OK, yes, please spell out what your concern is with that particular idea being discussed in the subreddit?
