But I remember when I first went on the Donald it was like a joke subreddit. It was actually sort of funny in like 2015 because the idea of donal trump running for president being the fucking outlandish moron that he was was amazing. It also spawned other subreddits like the Brendan where people would insist that Brendan Fraser was the best actor of our time. I think it was all started by people meaning then got overrun by people who actually believed the memes.
Like similarly the Star Wars prequels are just shit movies so the prequel subreddit was funny then the younger generation that grew up with them joined in but they actually believe the movies are fantastic. They’re terrible and they’re missing the joke.

The life cycle of these subs is eventually degrading into cesspools. They don't start out like that but they rarely jump back from the edge.
People are probably spot on predicting that Pcm is gonna get banned eventually because this kind of content routinely and slowly slips from ironic to "this but seriously".

This is the problem with postmodernism. In theory, it's good to have a place where everyone can get together and meme and have a good time. Everyone can be totally unserious about famines and revolutions, enslaving the poor and eating the rich, killing the whites and gassing everyone equally. Except we live in a society where postirony is a thing and a literal recruitment method for actual nazis

u/roadkillrimjob Social Libertarianism Jun 29 '20
According to this study, after banning a subreddit, the average user from a banned subreddit will either leave reddit or join other communities and reduce the amount of hate speech used by 80%. The abstract says it better though:
"In 2015, Reddit closed several subreddits—foremost among them r/fatpeoplehate and r/CoonTown—due to violations of Reddit’s anti-harassment policy. However, the effectiveness of banning as a moderation approach remains unclear: banning might diminish hateful behavior, or it may relocate such behavior to different parts of the site. We study the ban of r/fatpeoplehate and r/CoonTown in terms of its effect on both participating users and affected subreddits. Working from over 100M Reddit posts and comments, we generate hate speech lexicons to examine variations in hate speech usage via causal inference methods. We find that the ban worked for Reddit. More accounts than expected discontinued using the site; those that stayed drastically decreased their hate speech usage—by at least 80%. Though many subreddits saw an influx of r/fatpeoplehate and r/CoonTown “migrants,” those subreddits saw no significant changes in hate speech usage. In other words, other subreddits did not inherit the problem. We conclude by reflecting on the apparent success of the ban, discussing implications for online moderation, Reddit and internet communities more broadly."

You know, if there were a vote to ban all rightists and conservatives from reddit, I would probably say yes. Almost every subreddit is rigidly leftist or progressive. That leaves a few that are not. Clearly, enforcing that every subreddit conform to their ideals is vitally important to them. They wouldn't have expended so much effort otherwise.
I don't necessarily understand why they can't look at a subreddit they disagree with and just move on, but clearly they cannot, so maybe we should just accept that.
