Can we officially nominate /r/subredditoftheday as biggest troll on this site? i don't know how long they've been doing this for, but i'm sure they actively try to stir up as much shit as possible by making sub of the day all the most controversial, discussed or just weird subs they can find, then watch at the mess it results and laugh, and somehow they manage to look neutral and innocent because the sub itself doesn't have a controversial identity

they are clever masters of trolling

[–]ZadocPaet 304 ポイント305 ポイント  (35子コメント)

Haha.

We actually didn't do this one. At least not on purpose. I'll explain...

There's a public announcement coming on Jan 1, but a several months ago we changed the way that the sub operates. It used to be that when a person nominates a sub that they just gave a suggestion and we'd get a modmail, which 99 percent of the time would be ignored unless some mod had a personal interest in the subject. Now we have a new nominate thing that prompts the person nominating to write the feature. This month more than half of our features are from this method. In fact, we're booked until January, which is like a first for us. Usually we're scrambling to just get the next post up.

If you look at today's post you'll see that it was written by "special guest writer" /u/nowaydaddioh (who is now also banned has now deleted his account). When you see that "special guest writer" tag it means it was a user submitted feature. Basically a little while ago he submitted his feature, I took a cursory look at the sub, seemed like just a far left circlejerk to me, and then scheduled the feature for the next available date, which was today.

So, that's what happened. Wish I could say it was planned, but it wasn't.


Edited for accuracy. Writer not banned, he deleted.

[–]ZadocPaet 28 ポイント29 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I mean... Well, I don't really wanna talk bad about anyone or throw anyone under the bus. One of the mods posted it themselves kinda last minute. I still don't know why. It may have actually been a troll for all I know. For a number of reasons, most obvious, I didn't think it was a good idea and I didn't like it.

Wow, I thought you guys picked subs as random and just give them nice advertisement but I sure was wrong.

[–]ZadocPaet 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Random would be a bit difficult. Unless you're just posting a mod interview, you gotta write about the topic. Like with anything, it's a lot easier to stick more closely with what you know.

[–]justarandomcommenter 21 ポイント22 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I love the way that mod handles SRotD. It's always entertaining to read an "interview" with some far/alt type, where the writer/interviewer removes all emotion from the submission entirely. No bias, no lies, just well documented information in a way you weren't expecting to receive that info.

I'd like to imagine that many of the posters in those subs, could go read the descriptions for then on SRotD, and still be completely lost after reading the "interview". I'm glad I'm not one of those posters.

I'm serious though, I think that guy/those people do a great job! It would be difficult for me (putting it mildly), to even attempt to be unbiased in the same role. I think he deserves a huge round of applause for generating consistently entertaining content across multiple subs!!

They made fun of killing cops a lot.

It was tongue in cheek for the most part, extremely juvenile, and generally about as far from politically correct as humanly possible.

Never liked it. It was like a distillation of stereotypes about leftists. That being said I can't help but shake my head at reddit's hypocracy. They keep bullshit like r/altright around, you'll notice. And they are actually worse if only because they're sincere

Well it could have been all the memes and posts encouraging the torture and execution of police, white people, anybody not destitute, anybody with an education, anybody not sufficiently interested in torture porn, etc, etc.

This comment by one of their prolific users is pretty much typical of ALL the content that was there: https://np.reddit.com/r/subredditoftheday/comments/5i3fyu/december_13th_2016_rleftwithsharpedge_dont_cut_yo/db57vej?context=3

Well, it's certainly distasteful, but it's not seemingly any different to the "looks like one snuck out of the oven, hehe burn the jooz" posts you see on /r/altright (or, who am I kidding, any political sub these days, yeesh.)

I guess I'm confused as to why this particular set of distasteful comments were deemed to be more distasteful, sufficiently so as to be banned.

[–]freet0the Golden Meme 46 ポイント47 ポイント  (12子コメント)

No, they literally would tell people to go kill others. Like, "go to this demonstration and knife them" kind of thing. Serious, direct calls for violence. I'm amazed they weren't banned long ago.

It honestly seems like non-political subs are getting in on the action. I saw a highly up voted post on /r/creepy that was essentially about how Islam is evil and /r/thathappened started going down that route until the mods put their foot down. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if /r/eyebleach or /r/wholesomememes started getting affected

Care to expand on that? It sounds upsetting but I don't know what you're talking about.

[–]Prince_Kropotkin¡Hasta la victoria siempre! 150 ポイント151 ポイント  (56子コメント)

This sub gets a lot of traffic so I'd rather not link directly, but someone in /r/drama quoted it just before they banned the sub. A few months ago some LWSE people with creepy obsessions with me made a series of Youtube videos that sang or rapped about graphically murdering and torturing me in very, uh, creative ways. When LWSE became Sub of the Day, they prominently featured all those songs so all the hundreds or thousands of people coming in to look at the place would see them. That's pretty fucked up and Reddit probably doesn't want to be the kind of website that hosts huge witch-hunts about seeking out and murdering some of its users. Like I don't think I can be doxxed that easily but I don't want thousands of people trying to find me, you know?

[–]whisperingmoon(◍•ᴗ•◍) casual scumbag, real-life bureaucrat 57 ポイント58 ポイント  (42子コメント)

That's fucking bonkers! I'm so sorry to hear about that-- clearly you're still alive and well but what a horrible thing to endure.

Uh, if I may ask, why do they hate you so very much? For the grievous sin of trying to have political discussion without edgy memeage? That seems like an awful lot of effort for a difference of opinion.

[–]Prince_Kropotkin¡Hasta la victoria siempre! 108 ポイント109 ポイント  (35子コメント)

The story goes way, way back, you can probably search Prince_Kropotkin and find most of it in SRD.

As I said somewhere else, basically it's just that I didn't want to burn down all small businesses for fun, don't like the idea of killing liberals and people I disagree with, and think that people who are a minority (trans, etc) don't automatically get the privilege to engage in threats and suicide goading without consequences - this latter point has made them call me a transphobe, since I complained when a trans person gave me a vague threat about putting me in a grave. In short, I think extreme childish edginess is counterproductive for the cause of socialism/anarchism and try to attack it wherever I see it, publicly engaging in mocking the edgelords. That appears to be the one thing they absolutely, positively cannot bear, so it's inspired some almost two year long grudges at this point from people who spend 16 hours a day at their keyboards. Not backing down from their bullshit makes me a bigger target. I dunno, sometimes it's funny, other times way more creepy.

On the bright side, I've been interested in creating a sort of "Coalition for an Edge-free Socialist Reddit" with some other prominent socialists (there isn't a total overlap between subs and this isn't actually a formal thing). We have subs like /r/LeftWithoutEdge, /r/AnarchismOnline (this last one has less to do with combating edge but it is a good alternative to /r/anarchism which is filled with terribly edgy people), /r/Comrade_IRL, /r/protestsongs, /r/EdgelordDepot, and /r/EnoughCapitalistSpam. A lot of these subs are really small but we're trying to grow them.

So what's the deal with the claims that A_O is full of pedos or whatever? I want to hear your side of things. This drama is juicy...

[–]Prince_Kropotkin¡Hasta la victoria siempre! 33 ポイント34 ポイント  (10子コメント)

So the pedo thing started as a joke. Basically, people like nowaydaddioh would make up outrageous accusations against everyone they didn't like (fascists, bernie bros, liberals, cop apologists, transphobes, you name it), so some people started calling nowaydaddioh a pedo as a "no u" kind of joke to make them realize what they were doing was ridiculous. Of course they didn't back down, and instead started having total meltdowns over the accusations which made them look super guilty. The end result and funniest part is that all of nowaydaddioh's accusations didn't really stick (the desperate "NO ACTUALLY ANARCHISMONLINE IS THE PEDO DEN" stuff isn't bought by anyone) but the accusation that he was a pedo did, and now half of Reddit thinks LWSE was a pedo den and nowaydaddioh a child groomer.

Now since all that ramped up, people have talked about some weird comments he made about teenagers and went through his Youtube videos and said there was some sketchy shit there. I don't know if that's true or not, but I was happy to keep the (very poor taste) joke going because this dude was a seriously hateful person leading daily threats against me, and I have zero sympathy for them.

Cool! It's no surprise they aren't well known, a lot of them are very small and I just started ECS a few days ago.

at this point they just say I love the police and hate trans people, but this is how it started

[–]Norbits 32 ポイント33 ポイント  (1子コメント)

The sub basically only existed for teenagers too talk about who they'd kill if they got the chance, before coming to the consensus that it was everyone to the right of them.

And I'm not really exaggerating. More than half the threads on the sub where either about that or quickly became that. And, again, by "that" I mean calls for political violence against everyone that didn't agree with them.

Even /r/altright can't claim that type of dedication and high post-to-call-to-violence ratio. I'm not sure any sub can, although /r/SJWHate, /r/FULLCOMMUNISM, and /r/anarchism might.

Common thread between them? Edgy kids.

[–]Ace_in_thehole 20 ポイント21 ポイント  (7子コメント)

Well, it's certainly distasteful, but it's not seemingly any different to the "looks like one snuck out of the oven, hehe burn the jooz" posts you see on /r/altright (or, who am I kidding, any political sub these days, yeesh.)

The scale and quantity was multitudes larger on LWSE. It's not even close.

Also, the moderators- instead of deleting that type of stuff and at least paying lip service to site rules- actually encouraged it.

I'm not understanding why SRD is having such a difficult time with this. I mean, I am, but it's kind of pathetic. This sub is apparently down with violence or totalitarianism if it's in line with their values. Which is just fucking lol

[–]ChipChippersonAMA 28 ポイント29 ポイント  (12子コメント)

They also made youtube vids about killing a prince kropotkin

[–]whisperingmoon(◍•ᴗ•◍) casual scumbag, real-life bureaucrat 21 ポイント22 ポイント  (9子コメント)

Yeah, I just heard about that from him a moment ago. What the heck is going on? Why are they behaving like this?

[–]mentabolisms 47 ポイント48 ポイント  (1子コメント)

r/anarchism in the past two or so years kind of took a nosedive. I don't know what happened, exactly, but it got a whole lot less....tolerant. I think the issue was that it in large part fell victim to the same trend that happens on a lot of political subs (regardless of initial viewpoint). People talk to each other in an echo chamber, they chuck memes at each other, and sooner or later the people with no lives who spend all day on the internet end up dominating the conversation and more or less taking it over. End result being that the language alienates new members and they just go further down the rabbit hole.

From what I can gather in the long, convoluted, saga of the prince who cannot be rinsed he basically just said "this is stupid" about that shit, which infuriated that cliquish segment of the sub to no end, and the hate boner has yet to go flaccid since.

Shame really, I think anarchism is a beautiful collection of ideas. If people are getting their first exposure to anarchist theory from r/anarchism it's just gonna end up turning them away.

[–]ChipChippersonAMA 12 ポイント13 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Started out as a circle jerk I guess, however some people take it too far/way too committed. In my opinion thay whole sub was basically filled with people on the left who can be described as "that guy"

[–]MelungeonQueen 17 ポイント18 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Never been to altright but if any other sub has that kind of stuff it is on the moderators to remove it. The issue with leftwithsharpedge is the moderators were the ones explicitly and graphically encouraging the violence. I doubt you could find another sub with mods that do that. The real question is why they weren't quarantined ages ago?

[–]abyss6 38 ポイント39 ポイント  (20子コメント)

Certainly not a lot different than the consistent hate-pms sent from the_donald and altright users to default mods and other users who dare mock them.

[–]enuma-elish#SpiritCucking 75 ポイント76 ポイント  (18子コメント)

Reddit's spineless admins wouldn't squash the_donald while it was a small neo-Nazi cesspool for one of many running in Republican primaries, so now it's grown to the main subreddit for the US president-elect--and is still a neo-Nazi cesspool. Of course, reddit's admins are still as spineless as they were a few months ago, so there's no way they're gonna shut it down so easily now that it's this big.

Honestly I don't know what it'd take at this point for them to enforce some common decency, not to mention their own site rules. It's been continually harassing other people, other subreddits, abusing site functionality to take over /r/all, and oh yeah, being one of the intellectual black holes responsible for the creation and promulgation of an insane conspiracy theory against their political enemies that has led to an armed man "investigating" a restaurant for a secret child rape dungeon, making international news in the process.

[–]mentabolisms 49 ポイント50 ポイント  (12子コメント)

I really don't blame reddit for not wanting open advocacy of violence and harassment on their site. Same time they are indeed fucking cowards when it comes to the American right for some reason. They should have learned their lesson from r/coontown and started IP banning neo-nazis instead of tolerating them under some bullshit notion of "free speech".

What they're actually afraid of is those same neo-nazi trolls making them look bad, let's be real. Those people are fucking relentless.

I'd like to point out that /r/LeftWithoutEdge wasn't my idea or "my" sub, it was InOranAsElsewhere's. People often get that confused, same goes for /r/AnarchismOnline (neither my idea nor "my" sub, I'm not the top mod of either place). I just tend to be the public avatar of those subs at times, for better or for worse. PS: Both these subs are great and worth subscribing to if you are a leftist and/or an anarchist who doesn't like edge!

I'd rather not link it here, because of the amount of people who might see these things, but someone in /r/drama captured one of the last things they posted before the admins came down with the banhammer, and it was a set of four or five creepy Youtube videos about murdering, dismembering and eating me, basically channeling the large flow of /r/subredditoftheday users to a specific call to torture and kill another Reddit user. Which is fucking creepy (it's hardly like I want more people threatening me) and well worth banning a sub for IMO.

Someone made this song in response to those songs about murdering me, months ago, and it's funny, so I'll post that instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJOOCg4o8zA

So subs like /r/altright, /r/european,and, especially the_donald, which has been remarkably hostile toward reddit and openly breaks the rules consistently get treated with kids gloves.

But this left circlejerk sub gets straight up banned with no warning and no details?

I've never heard of leftwithsharpedge till today, and looks like it was a shitty subreddit so no love lost there, but the drama's gonna be good.

Edit: Since people seem to be getting the wrong impression, from what I've learned about that subreddit this ban is totally deserved. What I'm saying is the admins are being inconsistent and should act this swiftly and decisively more often.

[–]interiorlittlevenice 86 ポイント87 ポイント  (11子コメント)

It got banned because the mods and users personally participated and encouraged the participation in death threats and direct harassment of a user (our own Prince_Kropotkin) over a period of many months. The sub basically became a bullying sub for an individual user, and was almost definitely banned on those grounds, not on ideological ones.

[–]OntolodoxVacationing in Fuck-Offity Land 66 ポイント67 ポイント  (2子コメント)

They also had a thread after the Dallas shootings calling for the murder of /r/ProtectAndServe mods.

Say what you will about the shitty state of American police, but I can advocate for massive reform and punishment without advocating murder.

Fuck LWSE.

EDIT: How precious. I got linked to /r/ShitLiberalsSay. Normally I'd say I should post them to /r/aww, because they're so precious, but considering the OP who linked me has such progressive viewpoints as "Trans pigs are no less deserving of the rope than any other pigs.", I'm leaning more towards the "they can go fuck themselves" camp.

EDIT: And banned from SLS. That should tell you something.

[–]Prince_Kropotkin¡Hasta la victoria siempre! 141 ポイント142 ポイント  (177子コメント)

The_Donald is terrible but those other subs I think are more careful about brigading and threatening specific users, despite their awful content. I imagine if /r/altright started harassing and talking about murdering specific Jewish users on Reddit then they would get shitcanned pretty quickly.

[–]ThyrotoxicSozin did nothing wrong 227 ポイント228 ポイント  (146子コメント)

So it's ok they talk about murdering some jews, but not specific jews. Lol.

The admins have either swallowed the libertarian kool-aid and legitimatly think free speech on a public forum is a good idea, or they're imcompetent cowards.

[–]Prince_Kropotkin¡Hasta la victoria siempre! 132 ポイント133 ポイント  (75子コメント)

Well from a legal perspective there is a difference between threatening a group of people and threatening specific individuals, so maybe the admins just follow that lead. Frankly I think they should ban anyone talking about the desirability of genocide, but my point is that they aren't necessarily being inconsistent or hypocritical here, with the obvious exception of The_Donald which does brigade, threaten people and break Reddit.

[–]ThyrotoxicSozin did nothing wrong 72 ポイント73 ポイント  (74子コメント)

From a legal perspective they should have banned /r/jailbait long before they did.

Is it not illegal to call for the murder of certain races in the US?

No, but if you send death threats to a particular individual and refuse to stop, you can be arrested for that. So repeatedly saying "Kill all the Jews!" won't get you arrested, but if you have a specific Jew in mind you'd like dead and send him/her death threats, or encourage other people to kill him/her in detail then that could get the cops at your door.

[–]FilleDeLaNuitDoesn't Believe in Nuance 28 ポイント29 ポイント  (0子コメント)

if you send death threats to a particular individual and refuse to stop

You don't need the second half of that sentence.

[–]Jhaza 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (0子コメント)

There's a legal concept of a "true threat", which is speech which a reasonable person would interpret as a statement of intent to cause harm (so, for instance, a random troll saying he's going to murder you is not a true that because, in context, it's obvious that they can't and won't ACTUALLY murder you), and incitement, which is something like "speech intended to, and a reasonable person would expect to, produce immediate lawless actions" - so talking about general, untargeted (at individuals) actions is almost never going to be incitement.

From what I've seen, basically nothing online that doesn't specific address a very specific person or group ("abortion doctors" vs. "These five abortion doctors, here's their home addressed and work schedules") will be illegal in the US.

[–]Prince_Kropotkin¡Hasta la victoria siempre! 48 ポイント49 ポイント  (52子コメント)

Jailbait had a lot of child porn, which is illegal. Calling for the murder of certain races isn't illegal in the US, though. I'm fine with that, I think giving the government the power to arrest people for political speech a) isn't very effective (look at Europe right now despite its hate speech laws) and b) often leads to government censoring more and more people, like socialists, because they've been given that initial power. Much better to crush fascism with organizing, protest, social opprobrium and taking away their resources, and if all else fails and brownshirts are gathering in the streets to kill minorities, through privately organized violence.

[–]aspirethat 22 ポイント23 ポイント  (27子コメント)

My favorite part about these Internet libertarians is they say that free market needs no government oversight, while saying that reddit can't touch it be cause of free speech. Wouldn't that go against their own philosophy?

Their philosophy is basically just that nobody should be able to stop them from doing whatever they want.

[–]interiorlittlevenice 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (15子コメント)

The main reason is definitely that they were frequently devoted to personally harassing and threatening to kill you in particular. The admins clearly don't care about broad threats of violence or half the socialist and far-right subs would be banned, but in this case it was personal.

[–]Prince_Kropotkin¡Hasta la victoria siempre! 24 ポイント25 ポイント  (14子コメント)

Not just me, mind you. They had a big campaign against some nazi edgelord called "communism kills" or something like that a while ago, and recently they started branching out to threatening my fellow mods at /r/AnarchismOnline. So the harassment and attacks were expanding beyond me and, uh, threatened to get entirely out of control, I think.

I'm glad to see them go, a few months ago I was harassed by the sub's members. I was on a list of "liberals and pacifists" posted in the sub, and every now and again there were comments saying I should kill myself.

I messaged the admins at the time, but they did nothing. It's a relief that they finally have.

[–]Herman999999999 20 ポイント21 ポイント  (6子コメント)

Lol, I'm a pretty typical socialist and constantly get called a liberal.

Thing is, some leftists think their movement is insecure, so it pushes them to abandon common sense for the sake of protecting an ideology they believe has no power.

The same could be said for feminists who believe killing men should be the solution. Even if they make up a small minority of feminists, the reason they're on edge is because of how insecure they believe their movement is.

Honestly though, I feel like banning T_D would be like ripping off a bandaid. They'd bitch and disperse and cause tons of havoc for a few weeks at most. Of course there are tons of ways it could go wrong, but if I was in charge of banning them I'd do it before The Dumpsterfires term begins.

[–]clunting 34 ポイント35 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think the admins should just hijack moderation of the sub, ban users from posting and commenting, and then add a stickied thread which just contains a link to the frontpage of Voat.

[–]ThatPersonGuWhat a beautiful Duwang 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (3子コメント)

No one cares about T_D pulling a FPH and shitting up the front page. It'd suck for maybe a day at best.

The concern is the possibility of a media circle surrounding one of the largest Trump fansites on the internet being taken down because MUH FREE SPEECH. And trying to explain how this digital internet group broke your imaginary internet rules to the media is one hell of an uphill battle.

I mean it can, but even the most batshit sections of the far left are (generally) pretty harmless.

The far left doesn't grow domestic terrorists as much as the far right does. The far left generally targets banks, governments and other powerful institutions, far too big for one group to commit violence against: the far right tends to attack vulnerable groups like refugees and Holocaust survivors. For this reason I think the neo Nazis on reddit are a much bigger, more important problem than the tankie circlejerking that's been taking over some of my favourite subreddits.
