So I went back on againsthatesubreddits to search for the words Daryl Davis. If you don't know who he is, he is a black man with testicles of steel. A man who will agree to walk right into a group of bona fide KKK members or otherwise avowed racists to meet with them and to discuss with them. He has single-handedly made a lot of racists disavow their racism. What does Bardfinn think of a hero like that?
Yes, I was already aware that Bardfinn dismisses the heroic work of Daryl Davis. Because Daryl Davis represents everything Bardfinn himself isn't, and the narcissist Bardfinn can't stand that.
He's a self-professed communist.
At the same time, he tries to deflect from his very overt communism by attacking Tankies as "the one leftwing group you're allowed to hate" (literally go into the BreadTube thread and see for yourself how Tankies have practically replaced TERFs as the new target of justified left-wing scorn and hate):
You and the other Tankie assholes who are unironically fomaing at the mouth to stan the Central Committee and North Korea are, without a doubt, the shittiest excuse for theory-and-praxis-free "communists" I have ever had the sad burden of reading the drivel thought-droppings of. You'd fawn and kiss the rings of any bourgeoisie that dropped $100 at Hot Topic to buy a uniform and some tchotchkes and a copy of the Little Red Book.
This attacking of Tankies to distract from his own communism is very reminiscent of those posts where Bardfinn the repeat felon prided himself on snitching that pedo colleague and that domestic terrorist as even bigger and more heinous criminal than himself. Bardfinn attacking Tankies is just a political variation of that very same evasive tactic.
However, here is another thread where Bardfinn was confronted with the fact that /r/RedsKilledTrillions had posts that denied communist atrocities, and Bardfinn just shrugged saying he is applying a higher evidentiary standard to proving communist atrocity denial in that subreddit. The poster then replied with
"It's literally insane that you require a higher standard on hate that just so happens to align with some of the users here":
Bardfinn immediately locked the post lest he be confronted with his glaring double standard and hypocrisy as to which types of atrocity denial he finds sufficiently convincing.
The globe emoji is a tribal signifier used on Twitter by people who bill themselves as "globalists" politically, like how a certain set of lefty types use the rose emoji. Exactly what it means depends on who you're asking. But it might have something to do with that.
But why would he use an emoji that means globalism for a group he has tagged "PoMoCons"? Are Post-Modern Conservatives assumed to be globalists?
The idea here isn't that the abuse makes him Literally Hitler, it's that it contradicts his moral posturing.
Exactly this. LARPing at being a 30 year veteran Natsee hunter when in reality you're just a recidivist felon who fried his brains on drugs and fucked up every marriage he attempted, that's the very definition of moral posturing.
From a purely community driven standpoint, why does Reddit even let people mod so many subs? I know it’s beneficial to them to have someone that deletes whatever they want them to but to any outsider looking in it’s insane.
No one can realistically moderate more than 3 or 4 of the top 200 subs. Having just a collection of people moderate the huge subs is such a retarded idea. I guess it just makes sense the only people who actually want to moderate that much shit are insane.
You can to see how Bardfinn himself makes up excuses for the cartelism that is supermoderation on Reddit? Here's what Bardfinn had to say about that:
In case you haven't seen this yet, here is political commentator Youtuber Tim Pool's video on that one time the supermods of The League Of Extraordinary Trolls were exposed:
"Reddit Is Collapsing, Power Users Exposed, Political Bias And Manipulation Are Destroying Big Tech"
Tim Pool doesn't use the term League of Extraordinary Trolls but that's who the exposed "power users" referred to in this video are. They were League Trolls from Drewiepoodle and Bardfinn's crew.
As for the claim that the powermods deleted their accounts because they are breaking laws, absolutely they are breaking laws and they are doing so with the full knowledge and blessings of Reddit. Reddit essentially allowed them to break laws in their place so they wouldn't have to break them themselves because no matter what the powertrip of these mods, to Reddit they are disposable and replaceable.
I would love to hear an explanation of why the Gender Critical subs were killed. I was a poster there and it was one of the very few places on the Internet where I felt safe to discuss where the movement for trans civil rights became twisted around into a funhouse mirror of men’s rights. The moderators of the forums were watchful for hate speech and were diligent about keeping things clear of Reddit’s policies.
Edit: here are some of the tweets that TERFs themselves posted at the time giving their own assumptions about why they got banned.
One of the /r/GenderCritical mods claimed that just before the sub got banned there were malicious reports of people posting CP on their sub to then false flag those threads:
We were constantly harassed and brigaded. Violent rape and death threats, dick pics, and, on our final morning, malicious reports of posting child porn. Reddit did nothing that helped.
Given the subs that #reddit left up, it looks like we'd have been more likely to survive if we had actually been a subreddit about child porn rather than #radicalfeminism #RedditHatesWomen
This might have been a part of “against hate subreddits” campaign to shut certain subs down
That explains why r/gendercritical was taken down by@reddit. It was getting much too successful.
This is one very good reason why Reddit r/GenderCritical was so essential and why it had to be taken down: (includes a screengrab of a long confessional post by someone who almost trooned out but didn't due to reading /r/GenderCritical)
So perhaps the fact that the /r/GenderCritical mod was getting a lot of messages in their mod queue about supposed CP on /r/GenderCritical was another example of Bardfinn and AHS using the same dirty tricks they had already used earlier? I guess we'll never know because TERFs are too stupid to launch in inquiry with Reddit to learn what really happened.
Go and read the Site Wide Rule 1 I posted above and you will see that, when Reddit changed that rule. it specifically mentioned banning "communities that promote hate". Under that rule change TERF subs were no longer considered a community about women's rights (as their primary topic), they were now considered "a community that promotes hate" against transpeople as their primary topic, and banned. And this is true in a sense, because a lot of TERFs on those subs were rabidly misandtric and openly hated troons to the bone, but #NotAllTERFs I remember when there was a break in /r/GenderCritical and the more radical TERFs branched off to form /r/PinkPillFeminism and /r/MilitantFeminism (the latter of which immediately burned to the ground due to very sisterly infighting between TERF Mancheeze and TERF Sjabervanderlust), so /r/GenderCritcal trying to pander to Reddit just resulted in a split between the more mainstream feminists who were using /r/GenderCritical to discuss women's rights and also bitch about troons being troons, and the more militant misandrists who plainly hated all men and hated all troons and just wanted to freely express their feminist hatred of anything with a dick, with or without a dress or a wig.
Bardfinn not only wanted to shut down all the TERF subreddits under the new Side Wide Rule 1, but he specifically claimed that the TERF subreddits were infiltrated by far-right sock puppet accounts posing as feminists and lesbians in order to manipulate TERFs into hating on troons. Needless to say he never provided even a sliver of evidence for any of these claims.
Here are Bardfinns megaposts on /r/GenderCynical about how TERFs are a literal cult:
75 votes and 24 comments so far on Reddit

and
76 votes and 24 comments so far on Reddit

Keep in mind that these are just two posts. There are dozens of such gigantic wordsalads where Bardfinn is ranting about TERFs being actual Natsees and fascists/working with Natsees and fascists (winningly or unwittingly)/being a Natsee fascist cult, etc.
During what time period did this occur?
Here's Youtuber Tim Pool's video about the Reddit purge, watch this and you will get a summary of everything that happened and when:
Even though its clear he doesn't have a PHD, i thought that maybe he maybe had some open source software online or something that he had made. However, I couldnt find anything on Github, Codeberg, Sourcehut, Sourceforge, or Gitlab, and I tried both his real name and username. I even tried variations of his name, and still no matches.
You mean his own personal database on his laptop and the cloud? That's not open source. None of his "research" or his "research methology" is public, which is why isn't not
real research.
Real researchers have to make their research findings and their used methodology public for other scientists to look at in peer review. Bardfinn has never met any of the rudimentary standards for anything he does on Reddit to pass as "research", which is why his claims about being a "retired scientist" doing "research into hate groups" are so deceptive and misleading. He is trying to intimidate Redditors with the veneer of doing science, when he does nothing of the sort. He's just an obsessed loon with a database.
If you are wondering about the additional browser plug-ins Bardfinn uses to cyberstalk his enemies, go and read the list I posted of the software he uses. Some of those tools are open source, some of them only partially. For example Masstagger, one of Bardfinn's favourite tools, that browser plug-in is closed architecture (there isn't any entry on Masstagger site linking to a github profile or a source code). However, while researching Masstagger I discovered that an early version of the code is still up on Nathan Beam's own Github. There's just nothing there linking it to the Masstagger browser plug-in more explicitly. Plus, most people on Reddit only know Nathan Beam as /u/morpen, they don't know that he has a Github account under his own name. He accidentally doxxed himself in this thread on /r/Masstagger:
Gender Critical was going to get axed regardless because 'Transwomen aren't women' is well outside the overton window now, but I remember hearing from some pinkpill refugees what probably caused it. A handful of throwaways started up an anti-feminist bait sub where they talked about organising mass fake reports on feminist subs, and a bunch of absolute fucking no-brain idiots from the pinkpill sub started using their non-throwaway accounts to openly organise mass fake reports and doxing attempts back at them, despite being told what an absolutely retard idea that was.
Two or three days later the bait sub was wiped, all the femcel subs were wiped, and GC got wiped with them. I'm not sure if AHS even had anything to do with it and wouldn't be surprised either way.
I don't think it was anything specific the TERF subs did, I think Nika Dyen (the Reddit Manager of Internal Communication who brought in The League of Extraordinary Trolls), I think he just threw the League Trolls a bone for helping shut down /r/The_Donald as the primary target of the purge. The latter purge, where 1000+ subs got nuked, was just afterplay.
It was like "OK League Trolls, you helped us shut down The Really Big Fascist sub, so we'll do you a favour now by changing Rule 1 so we can shut down all the TERF subreddits as well. Tit for tat", which is exactly the kind of nepotism you would expact from a Yale asshole who is himself a TRA.
