Official replacement for Reddit's r/GamerGhazi

Content should be articles, video essays, podcasts about topics relevant to the forum. No memes, single images or tweets/toots/... please!

Community rules:

Be respectful and civil with each other. Don't be a jerk. There is a real human being on the other side of your screen. See also the Blahaj.Zone Community Rules

No bigotry of any kind allowed. Making racist, sexist, trans-/homo-/queerphobic, otherwise demeaning and hateful comments is not ok. Disabilities and mental illnesses are not to be used as insults and should not be part of your comment unless speaking of your own or absolutely relevant.

No gatekeeping and being rude to people who don't agree with you. Leave “gamer” stereotypes out of your comment (e.g. sexless, neck bearded, teenaged, basement-dwelling, etc). Don't compare people to animals, or otherwise deny their humanity. Even if you think someone is the worst human on the planet, do not wish death or harm upon them.

No "justice porn". Posts regarding legal action and similar is allowed, but celebrating someone being harmed is not.

Contrarianism for its own sake is unnecessary and not welcome.

No planning operations, no brigading, no doxxing or similar activities allowed.

Absolutely no defense of GamerGate and other right-wing harassment campaigns, no TERFs and transphobia, racism, dismissing of war crimes and praise of fascists. This includes “JAQing off”, intentionally asking leading questions while pretending to be a neutral party. This also applies to other forms of authoritarianism and authoritarian or criminal actions by liberal or leftist governments.

NSFW threads, such as ones discussing erotic art, pornography and sex work, must be tagged as such.

Moderators can take action even if none of the rules above are broken.

Very interested to see what happens on r*ddit now. The Frontpage has shown a lot of right wing stuff in the days after the lockdown, that has not went away since.

That - unfortunately - was predictable: Most right-wing subreddits never cared about the protest anyway, never locked down and thus retained most of their active subscribers. Meanwhile people who care about topics like accessibility and/or are anti-capitalist are leaving the platform.

I also noticed a lot of the replies on Reddit were far more right-leaning than they used to be. Specifically was on a video of a creep getting called out for taking creep shots of a woman, and around 50% of the comments were saying that he should be allowed to do what he wants because it's in public ???? It was honestly disgusting.

Secret Internet Police, but only for chairlegging men with awful posts and actions.
