I like how they felt like they needed to specify twice that Reddit rules still apply. They sure know their audience.
Oh god, I shouldn’t have looked. Their idea of free speech is posting obvious propaganda and shitting on minorities. Classic
5D Chess to get the community permanently closed lol
Tbf, maybe a shitstorm of racist rants will make advertisers pull their ads, and start a bunch of bad press.
Maybe /r/conservative were playing 4D chess all along.
They’ll just get the subreddit banned. I highly doubt Reddit admins want to bother fixing smaller subreddits when most people use the bigger subs.
free hate speech
Typical conservatives. Everyone else is fighting for the greater good and they’ve opted to selfish children.
It’s so obvious that they are going for a traffic grab. The message is basically “post stuff that maximizes reach and doesn’t scare off randoms”. There are subs that decided to address the problem, subs that ignore the problem and then there is r/conservative who try to take advantage of the problem. So fitting.
Gotta admire their ingenuity in taking advantage of people.
This is exactly what happened to DIGG* and what’s currently happening to twitter.
Conservatives get beaten down by the vast majority of users and get a chip on their shoulder. Then as the site starts to die and the users move elsewhere conservatives jump on the sinking ship and declare their the new captain. They start drilling holes in the sinking ship cause theres nkthing else to do, and eventually realize the echo chamber sucks and then move on to the other social networks that everyone else went to, and the process repeats.
I hope with federation that the cycle doesn’t repeat but we’ll see.
- DIGG made their big DIGG 4.0 change to overhaul the algorithm because it was being gamed and brigaded by members of conservative forums at the time. It just so happened they did it with a user interface overhaul. For a while, after most everyone moved to reddit, the top posts were mostly conservative stuff.
They’re doing the same thing that Republicans in Congress are doing/proposing: gerrymandering and raising the voting age. Conservatism is at odds with democracy.

This is a really clever metaphor. Someone with the skills needs to draw it in the style of a political cartoon from the 1910-20s.
(Also, I saw a great quote somewhere about how conservatives destroy things because they don’t have the capacity to build. Your “drilling holes” reminded me of that.)
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.
Someone throw a padlock on that group to keep them in Reddit.
Please!
I’m all for freedom of speech, but I’m really irked by the lengths people go to just to be offensive.
r/conservative is also not a place for free speech. They ban people for asking questions.
I was banned for “promoting the party switch myth” when I pointed out that the Republican Party of the 1860s is not the same as the republican party of 2020.
nobody doubted that the worst of reddit would take over after we left

Reddit is the new Parler
Boots ain’t gonna lick themselves…
The special surprise is they got one of Trump’s turds and they’re all gonna split it
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.
People are shitting on this but have no problem with r/interestingasfuck and r/perfectlycutscreams doing the exact same thing
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?)
A boot is a boot.
What is the political view of spez, anyways?
He’s a tech bro with pp envy towards those peers who flipped their startups for more than he did. He feels silly for having sold reddit for “only” 10 mil and wants reddit’s IPO to springboard him into the deeper end of the pool.
I don’t think there is a political view of spez, because I think he’s just a wannabe Zuck, Dorsey, etc. His motive is cash.
Is it possible they lack critical thinking and research ability?
So a corporate douche CEO wants to screw over their own userbase in the name of money alone and they are 100% onboard with opposing the boycott/protest…
…but are perfectly fine harassing and threatening stock workers at Target over Pride Month displays, outright absurd-levels of “boycotting” because of a limited-edition can with Bud Light, and the whole Chick-Fil-A DEI hire?
What if, and hear me out on this, you go and start posting a bunch of ai images of trump sucking Putin off. Just a thought.
