Since when were they against shitposts?

Reddit is the new Parler

I looked on RiF, and that post seems to be gone and the subreddit seems to be going strong with its usual braindead takes.

Wow, absolutely nobody in here gets what they’re doing and just wants to shit on “conservatives”. What they’re doing is what the other mods should also be doing - mod strike! Take down the barriers and let Reddit get overrun with bots, spam, and low-effort posts. If every sub did that instead of the weak-ass “dark for two days guise!” Reddit management would fold immediately.

With this two-days-dark plan, management thinks (correctly?) that they can just wait it out and they win. And they’re probably right. No competent strike ever gives a deadline and expects it to work, that’s absurd. The smarter subs have at least said “at least two days, then we’ll reassess” - that’s the better approach, keep it open-ended.

But the best approach is what /r/conservative seems to be doing, which is just put down their tools and walk the fuck away. Reddit management would have literally no response to that approach if it was the approach taken site-wide.

But whatever, keep shitting on the nazis.

Everything about that post screams brainrot. It's so incredibly well woven that it might as well be unintentional art.

The special surprise is they got one of Trump's turds and they're all gonna split it

Oh god, I shouldn't have looked. Their idea of free speech is posting obvious propaganda and shitting on minorities. Classic

$10 says the "special surprise" is a shout out/recruitment post from something like "truth social" (or wherever they hangout nowadays) to go takeover what's left of Reddit.

Man I blocked all right wing subreddits the day I signed up, been so nice not having to ever see or think about them.

Wow, and I thought all the subs leaving + shutting down was bad enough. Now, advertisers are going to see this remaining subreddit flooded with racist and bigoted memes no doubt.

An appropriate legacy for the subreddit. Very "on brand." 🤣

Yeah, that will teach them. People posting more memes will totally change Reddit's politics.

But it's at least in character. It's about the same stance the conservatives take to any important issue.

Does this mean everyone who's been banned from r/Conservative can post freely today?

time to see this advanced conservative humor I keep hearing about.

In a strange way reading /r/conservative since the mods took a holiday has been kind of fun. I've always checked that subreddit, even though I hated reading it most of the time, I always thought it important to see what the other side has to say. Some of their memes today have been funny, even for a lefty and in some way it's like a beautiful and surprising reddit farewell gift from the place I least suspected.

I don't think spez really likes conservatives, he edited a trump supporter post to make them look bad so I'm not sure why right-wingers are licking the boots of a left leaning person. They're owning the libs so hard, they're licking the boots of one? (What is the political view of spez, anyways?)

No surprises 🥰
