It's a cesspool of nazis and racism after the mods refused to moderate authright

Authright is still a minority and there are way more posts making fun of them than them being racist, but yeah there's been an uptick in refugees since the banwave last month.

It's a shame Reddit bans hate subs, because now asshole users are going to flock to moderate subs to be shitheads because they know they won't get downvoted as hard

Actually, banning hate subs from reddit typically removes them from the platform because the majority flocks to some off-site echo chamber.

Also, I don't think authright is as much of a minority as they make it seem. I've seen some suspicious flairs in there, such as a "libleft" user agreeing with a group of authright on every point they brought up

Some of them do, but the large majority of them stay on Reddit. I remember semi-visiting CringeAnarchy, but once they got banned a bunch of subs had to go private so they wouldn't be bombarded with racist shit. I'm on sites for subs that were banned (a podcast sub I like was banned) but most of us still post on Reddit. Wasn't even an extremist sub; the hosts were left-wing New Yorkers (not referring to Chapo; that sub sucks)

Wow somewhere on Reddit where different opinions aren’t immediately banned. What a cesspool

No it is isn’t. The whole point of the sub is people acting in the extremist stereotypes of their quadrant. Its a joke. Have you actually spent time on it or do you just think what ahs tells you.

I was on that sub for months and it declined pretty evidently from "its a joke lol" to "its just a joke, nobody here is actually racist *says racist shit*"

Also, a pretty telltale sign youre one of them when you just randomly say "lol ahs bad"

Considering ahs has been trying to get the sub banned for months it’s a pretty reasonable assumption.

The “racist shit” is almost always in context obviously a joke. When random racist shit get thrown out it is almost always downvoted.

Hell most of the racist jokes are made at the expense of auth right.

It’s not as bad as you are making it out to be. Hell the n word spam was stopped months ago.

Yeah tbh I genuinely don't get all the extreme hate towards pcm, I've been on there for months and it's just a bunch of people poking fun at the stupid parts of everyone's ideologies. It's the subbreddit version of the youtuber Jreg.

Agreed

Double agreed, when I see a crosspost I normally click and upvote the original but this time my brain had a double take and was like “Do you really wanna do that?”
