Like how fragilewhitepeople was huge and fragile anything else was taken over and banned?

Yep. There are many instances of that. Some guy named Herman Kane said he wouldn't take the vax, then he died. They created a whole subreddit to make fun of him, and other people who didn't want the vax.

Some time later, people started "dying suddenly" and if they had been big vax supporters, that looks suspicious, so a subreddit was created to talk about it. Nope. Instantly banned. You can make fun of dead people if they didn't toe the political line, but not if they were "the good guys."

There was a misandry subreddit which posted news articles about people hating men. The mods were banned and it was given to the SRS types. You can talk about misogyny, but not misandry.

There was a subreddit which posted news stories about people who had claimed to be victims of hate crimes, but then ended up getting arrested for perpetrating the crimes themselves (so like, if you burn down your own business and claim yt did it) - subreddit banned. You can talk about (supposed) hate crimes, but not fake ones.

I don't feel like checking, but I'm pretty sure "the left can't meme" has been banned. This example is particularly funny because it started as a right-wing meme - just observing how inept and unfunny the left is. So then of course they immediately try to turn it around and say, "nuh uh we're funny, it's you guys who aren't!!"

Not that I'm aware of. The modern Left's concept of "safe" is a fairly new thing, and clearly very, very retarded. They want to be protected from ideas they find offensive - as opposed to be equipped to rebut those ideas.

One of the most famous advertisements in history is the Apple "1984" ad: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_(advertisement)

In that ad, the bad guy has the following dialog:

Today, we celebrate the first glorious anniversary of the Information Purification Directives. We have created, for the first time in all history, a garden of pure ideology—where each worker may bloom, secure from the pests purveying contradictory thoughts.

I think about that a lot. How, in 1984 it was clear to everyone that that was a bad thing and yet modern Leftists unironically believe in and actively seek exactly what the bad guy wanted!!

"We at Reddit are protecting you from the pests who post in no-no subs and may contradict what we want you to believe."

This one is particularly egregious because one of the biggest subreddits on the website is the "/r/therightcantmeme" it's one of the most obvious examples of Reddit's blatant leftist bias. You can mock right-wing memes all day and talk about how stupid the people who made them are but not the other way around. By the way if you have to go around writing books and screaming ERMM YES WE CAN MEME you clearly can't and are insecure about it. No one who is genuinely funny has to go out of their way to tell people they are.

Reddit's VPN IP bans that block anonymous browsing are kind of infuriating. The fake ass cutesy cowboy speak is what gets on my nerves. They should state "We suspect you may be using our data to train AI in a manner we can't monetize. You must pay us money via our overpriced API instead of webscraping. Please log in to continue."

Look at this thing.
Look at it's smug fucking face.
This thing looks like it's about to lecture me about how I'm on the "wrong side of history" and how I need to "do better".

Herman Cain. He had been CEO of Godfather's Pizza and a Tea Party candidate for President.

A site that wasn't completely cucked would allow both sets of ghoulish weirdoes but maybe throw them together into the same subreddit and force them to interact with each other.

IIRC there's even a site-wide rule that forbids it but it has been a thing since forever. It's one of the most nigger cattle things they do over there.

Reddit is famous for doing this. Everyone on r/The_Donald and r/NoNewNormal was banned from all the "front page" subs (eg: r/pics, r/gaming). Speaking of r/The_Donald are there any right leaning subs left or have they all been banned? I haven't visited that shithole of a website in years.

It's a bit late, but I noticed /r/TheRightCantMeme has implemented a new rule, where they put a gay scribble on their images to discourage sharing. This is because right wing individuals were actually using the sub to share memes rather than mock them.


Hello, we're announcing a new rule today requiring all users to deface right-wing memes before you post them.
What do we mean by "deface". Example Meme

- a simple "x" or "cross" on the image would suffice, anything that keeps the meme readable/legible for critique on this sub but makes it useless for spreading propaganda.

The rationale is simple, for some time we've been concerned that this subreddit is essentially platforming and spreading reactionary propaganda as much as it is criticizing it. We want to solve that issue.
We feel that defacing the memes will stop people from being able to use this subreddit as a resource to share propaganda further. Plus, it will make people who see it slow down and think more critically about what they're seeing if it appears in r/all or on a user's homepage. It also takes away the power and visual impact of the propaganda when it's got some scribbles or whatever over it.
And on a slightly more "meta" note, it means that this sub will be able to catch out bots and karma farmers easier.
Further examples - all just suggestions, you don't have to follow all of these exactly.
You're free to be as creative as you like with it, you don't have to follow the exact same methods as we used here. My examples used MS Paint but you can use whatever software you like. And every meme you post will require its own approach. The important thing, however, is that they are reasonably defaced in someway.
We understand that people often get used to doing things a certain way there can be some "growing pains" especially with a dramatic shift like this. We're going to give everyone til the end of the month to start doing it and, starting June 1st we will be enforcing this rule heavily. We will not necessarily issue bans but we will be removing posts that do not follow this rule.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them below or click here to message our mod team.
P.S. Just a reminder to keep censoring reddit usernames and subreddit names. You do not have to do this for Twitter or any other platform however.


Now that we are a few months after the rule was put in place, here are several examples of how they seeth deface memes.
The main effects of the rule is that the subreddit hasn't had any highly upvoted or front page posts since the rule was implemented, and all the images are massive because people are manually saving them after doodling on them.

I know I spend a lot of time redpilling people about communism in this thread, but "reactionary" is a word you might see them use and not understand. "Reactionaries" are "reacting" against specifically the revolution (originally the French Revolution) rather than participating in or facilitating it.

Reactionary - like many of the slurs they use - has no semantic meaning beyond "not communist."

Isn't that what r/Dankmemes did to the "instagram normies" which resulted in them being mocked relentlessly. Do redditors not learn from their mistakes?

There is /r/conserative which is Reddit's equivalent of an ethic ghetto. Every single other major right-wing subreddit has been banned so every who didn't just leave got trapped there.
