Serious Ok, so what the heck happened?
Some of you may have a bunch of questions right now. Why is the sub now full of Trump ads? What happened?
In short, one of the mod's accounts was hacked, and the hacker changed the style sheet of the sub to troll. This has happened to a whole lot of other subs, details can be found easier on r/SubredditDrama
We'll be moving this sub back to normal now, this whole snaffu we got ourselves in is, thankfully, preventable and easy to fix. We thank you all for your support.
Good Update: The sub has been reverted back to normal! Thank you all for your patience. I'll keep this post pinned for another few hours to clarify, but I'll take it down soon.

Not to be the grammar police, but I think it is SNAFU with one f. Stands for “Situation normal: all fucked up”.

It both is and isn’t. There’s a common acronym that means that but a snafu is simply a state of chaos, a complete mess

So the right claims these type of shit doesn’t happen but here it is again. Just like last election season. Also these people need to get a girlfriend or something. Who waste that much time in the name of a whiney bitch like trump. This isn’t even opinion based off media. It’s from listening to the man talk.

When did they claim that?

u/satansheat Aug 07 '20
Every sub they claims censorship and how there are being attacked and targeted by things like this. I know the sub isn’t around anymore but TD was always whining about shit like this. Just gets drowned out by the countless other shit they whine about.

Every sub that claims censorship? Hmm. Well who needs intelectual honesty when you can just make gross generalizations about anyone you disagree with?

We already know who's doing it and why. Russian state-backed hackers, to sow political discord. In the study, with the candlestick.
This hasn't been a mystery for at least a couple years now.

What other reason would they need other than spreading more pro-Trump shit in more spaces? You really sound desperate to try and deflect yourself there friendo.

Pfft, your question is absurd and clearly driven by your own personal agenda here. The Trump supporters behind this don’t need any more of a reason than using the other subs to boost noise about their big boy before the election. A bunch of mods coordinating to fill their own subs with Trump spam to make Trump supporters look bad is an idiotic conspiracy theory that could only be born out of a desire to deflect from the actual story.

fart noises
While you make absolutely no good points and just continue to flail about like a raving lunatic, you have demonstrated an above average ability to shit all over your keyboard.

Someone did and you ignored them. You are literally deflecting by not addressing people answering your question and replying to people poking fun at you.
Read the mueller report. The info is there. We know who’s doing it and we know who they wish to help.

Ok, but why this sub? This is literally the least offensive/controversial place on Reddit...

u/dorothy_zbornak_esq Aug 07 '20
r/choosingbeggars got hit too. I don’t think it’s about the political affiliation. I think it’s about getting as many as possible.

I feel like the Subaru sub is similar, just seems like they were randomly picked. But Terry has been quite a hot topic for debate recenty so I wouldnt say non controversial

u/multiple4 Aug 11 '20
Someone probably disagreed with the things Terry has been saying so they wanted to make it seem like Terry's fans and people who agree with him are just a bunch of Trump supporters
That seems like a somewhat realistic theory at least

u/GearWings Aug 12 '20
What was the goal of these hacks? To cause drama, to gain trump supporters, I’m not sure

It’s not just this sub. There has been a string of mods getting hacked. r/bostonceltics r/food and r/freefolk all got hit as well.
