The instance seems to be mostly right wing trolls. I know defederating is unpopular but I don’t think much is to be lost in this case and it can save the mods some headaches.

    Almost like tankie subreddits weren’t gaming the Reddit vote system to push literal propaganda to the front page for years or something

        I mean, yeah, but my point is more that they were uniquely shitty for actively fostering the echo chamber and regularly intentionally breaking containment onto All.

        I distinctly remember in 2016 how many pro-trump posts would pop onto the top of All with thousands of T_D upvotes, because the mods would pin posts they’d want to rally behind to the top of the subreddit. It really wasn’t largely the same content.

            At least they have the courtesy of being disguised. Lol maybe you remember how on the nose the trump-stump posting was.
