Inspired by /u/dezmodium, I've created a Python script to auto-tag users from racist and neo-nazi subs (self.socialism)

Because of the large amount of racism in certain subs I thought it would be useful to have an easy way to identify birgades and individual users coming from certain neo-nazi and racist subreddits. I've created a simple python script to generate RES tags for users on these subs, both so we can observe and actively fight them.

I've included an already-generated list here. To use it you will need RES. Once RES is installed open Reddit and hit the period key (« . ») to open the RES console, and paste in the command:

RESStorage update RESmodules.userTagger.tags

Then paste in the contents of the already generated list and press confirm. You should now see tags containing the names of racist/neo-nazi subreddits a user frequents.

If you already have some RES tags and don't want to loose them you will need to fetch your tags before importing the new ones. You can do this with the command:

RESStorage get RESmodules.userTagger.tags

And copy-pasting your old tags into the new list of tags, right after the first curly brace. You will need to remove the first set of curly braces at the beginning and end of your tags (as they mark the beginning and end of the tag data), and add comma between your tags and the new ones.

The script itself is very simple, and was written quickly, without much planning or thought. If you see anything you can improve, feel free to contribute! I've tried to make the script as readable as possible so it's easier to modify. Even if you don't know how to program you can still be a huge help by contributing to the list of subreddits (in sublist.txt).

NOOOOO. Now the capitalists can't claim hoomans are da selfish.

Could be a problem because I enjoy spying on racist punks for entertainment when I'm bored or want to get angry at something. Seriously, those reactionaries are hilariously degenerate.

Neonationalist, miss-andrea (they've begun to tone it down to the point that they're mostly conservatives with some blatant racism thrown in), whittneydoll, yung-babushka. Follow this link for a master post of fascists http://thelittlestnazi.tumblr.com/post/113282597623/anti-communists-list

I didn't put in any conservatives or libertarians but tell me if you want me to add some.

youre stronger than I. once I clicked on /r/nationalsocialism (leave it blue, trust me y'all) because I wondered if it was a joke like pyongyang. didn't get halfway down the page before I had to nopenopenope. needed a hug and a stiff drink after that

I'm also considering (if people want it) adding a second, much larger subreddit list for ayncraps, misogynists, and other reactionaries that don't quite land in nazi-land. Those subs are much, much more populated than neo-nazi subs, so you'll see a lot more tags in the wild.

EDIT: I'm doing it. Please feel free to tell me the names of any subs you want on the list!

Perhaps you could make a thread in which we all upvote which subreddits to blacklist. There's a ton of reactionary subreddits too, they could be added if a "reactionary" distinction is possible.

[–]robotevil 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I would be interested in the additional anycraps piece for one of my subs.

Also, would you be willing create something that instead of tagging or flaring the users through RES, it adds them to Automod's auto-remove list automatically for subreddit moderators? I always thought about creating something like this, but I know nothing about Python. I tried to learn a little bit of it, but it's so different than PHP and C, that I get lost real fast.

edit:

Also, make sure you check for false positives. Like sometimes normal people go in and try to talk sense to them, only get downvoted to hell. I would make sure that you're only adding people that have net-positive karma in these racists subs so normal users don't get tagged as Nazis.

[–]skeletorsass#include <marxism.h>[S] 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

That wouldn't be too hard. I'll give it a go if my work schedule stays clear.

[–]kekkymanMarxist 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Would it be possible to do it by ratio maybe? Like a certain threshold of upvotes per post rather than a flat positive or negative karma rating. A single unnoticed post that never got downvoted there would tag you otherwise.

[–]Ragark 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

What's the criteria? I don't want to get hit with accusations of ancapism/libertarianism/etc cause I really like arguing in those subs.

[–]rocktheprovinceMarxist 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think an expansion is a good idea, but was wondering if there's a way to tag users specifically known as racists and such that don't frequent subs like /coontown.

I don't know how that can be done tho. Either way, a larger compilation would be cool. Definitely for the mens rights subs, and some of the other creepy/abusive reactionary ones.

I added the ukip subreddit, which seems to be another (unfortunate) hub of far-right hatred in my country.

I have a question and am ignorant of a lot of this, but will you be marked as something like an an-cap purely by being subbed there? I am subbed to /r/Anarcho_Capitalism simply for easy access to agitate over there.

[–]skeletorsass#include <marxism.h>[S] 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (2子コメント)

The ayncrap subreddit isn't on the list quite yet, but the script works by tagging users who contribute to the sub (comments, posts) so you would probably get tagged. That's why a reactionary subs tag list would need to be taken with a grain of salt.

    I would love to see a bot like wikibot that would reply to popular (+10 or so upvotes) posts in subs like /r/Europe and /r/worldnews with the poster's racist subreddit history. Perhaps only activate it for posts that contain certain keywords tho.

    [–]Cyridius/r/SocialistPartyIreland | CWI | Marxist-Trotskyist 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

    /r/Europe doesn't like bots or novelty accounts and will ban them.

    [–]MadAce 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Bummer :(. But it'd still be awesome to be able to track these posts/posters and publicly shame them and/or make it possible for people to find out about their background. It would also be immensely interesting to find out which subs get brigaded at what times. You know, find the patterns...

    I don't suppose someone could give a point by point, click by click explanation of how to make this work? I have followed what seems to me to be the sensible things to be doing but I have no idea.

    [–]ChicomoztocM-L The revolution will be feminist or it won't be a revolution 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

    Excelent contribution, it tags users with the racist subreddits they are subscribed to. By the way, do you have a list of the subreddits you used? and how could we add more subreddits to the list?

    [–]skeletorsass#include <marxism.h>[S] 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    In the git repository linked at the top there is a file called sublist.txt that gets read at the start of the script. git lets you request to make changes to files so that anyone can contribute. You can find tons of tutorials online for it (although if you're just editing the one text file you should only need a github account and to press the edit button on the page for the text file). You can also just say the name of a sub you want included in this thread and I can manually include it.

    How does it deal with those of us who go on those sites to antagonize reactionaries? I'll admit, its been kinda funny to go on /r/European and watch them go berserk over simple lines of questioning.

    [–]skeletorsass#include <marxism.h>[S] 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    It currently flags everyone regardless of score. I'll probably change that soon though.

    As someone who's been on Reddit 5 years now, and seeing the other comments here; quite a few of us will end up on one of these lists just for reacting to said offenders. Also, if I can be philosophical, didn't guilt-by-association work poorly for us in the past?

    [–]skeletorsass#include <marxism.h>[S] 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    I'll be changing it to have a score cutoff to aid this a bit. Things that get voted up are more likely to be actual offenders.

    [–]DrowningEmbersNo Gods, No Masters, No Tyrants 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    I dunno, it goes on the assumption that anyone who is tagged is actively part of that circle instead of merely someone who has posted in protest of something there.

    Does it make the distinction between people who are there because they like it/agree and people who post there to debate them?

    This is very useful script but I can see some flaws like i suggested.

    It would have saved me some time, quite recently i got in an argument with a catholic doctor, and I browsed his posting history, lo and behold he was a racist and a homophobe.

    [–]alexwagboEco-Socialist 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Don't you think it risks getting people who just want to know the enemy? Otherwise fantastic.

    [–]xveganrox 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

    The anarchists and libertarians and social democrats and even nationalists are all potential future allies. Almost everyone in this sub fit into one of those categories at some point. Filtering out racists and other bigots is one thing, but expanding it to nationalists and other groups doesn't seem like a very good idea. I've seen how similar filters have worked on Twitter to shut down potentially productive conversation with people who are fairly reasonable centrists.

    [–]skeletorsass#include <marxism.h>[S] 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

    This isn't a filter. It just tags them in RES so you can identify them. If mods of subs want to filter certain users (which may be perfectly reasonable for certain sub topics) that's their choice.

    This is great work, and I thank you very much for it, but beware that it has had some mistags, like a robot that links to wikipedia has been labelled as a white nationalist.

    Once again thank you for your time and effort, I have been wanting something like this for a long time!

    doesnt anyone think its just a little cliche and telling how socialists are known for creating lists of their undesirables and those who have dissenting political opinions from them and that thats just what you are doing here?
