Cool, so now the alt-right nutbags who control r/canada can take over all the other Canadian subreddits and promote far right propaganda and hatred in all the local subs too?
I projected that same fuckin thing too. That’s what happens for every platform; when the decent, good-faith followers get ran off, the scumbags inherit and just ferment the environment into a cesspool. I’m sure Spez is gonna be pleased with his soon-to-be new userbase full of center/far-rights, apathetic loyalists and equally money-grubbing dipshits.
A former T_D mod messaged /r/aww announcing that he intended to take over their community. Can you imagine what would happen if these bigots got their hands on 10m+ subs? Spez is just empowering the most out of touch, angry dissenters to take control of some of the most high profile communities. It won’t go well for him.
Yes. This is what will happen. The far right will capture large numbers of moderately sized mainstream subs, they’ll think they’re crafting narratives like traditional media does as they alienate larger and larger groups of users, and then the whole damn thing will collapse into the ever widening cesspit.
I’ve been trying to get a kbin instance set up for Atlantic Canada, but I’ve been extremely time constrained the last two weeks. We’ll see how next week goes…
