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.

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.

Making a post to begin a discussion on the potential dangers of such a large community's moderation policies is not an unworthy endeavor.

This doesn't seem like such a post. Firstly, it doesn't seem to me like beginning a discussion on a Reddit community's moderation policies here has any worth. It might have worth if the discussion was begun in the Reddit community itself but I can't see any worth beginning a discussion here.

Secondly, this post doesn't seem like an effort to begin an earnest discussion about potential dangers of moderation policies at all, it seems more like a mindless "ZOMG1!!!!1 LOOK AT THE FASCISTS ON REDDIT!!! WERE AMAZING AND THEIR STOOPID!!!"

It has been brought up multiple times there but it's banned outright as it's being "bad faith".

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

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

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?
