Since our front page has about a 60% parity with theirs (don’t think I didn’t notice!) it may be good to offer some life rafts.

On the other hand, there is a lot of reddit brain over there. A lot would flip out over no downvotes or not being allowed to say certain slurs.

    it’s weird because r/trueanon is like a mix of hexbears who still use reddit, former hexbears who were naughty and went there as a life raft, libs, and this disgusting tiny minority of stupidpol reactionaries and redscare fascists (who are mercilessly found out and generally booted when mods catch on).

    there are some really cool people there though i wish would come here and hang out with us (the ones i like are all women of various sorts though)

        They kinda won the Taylor Lorentz thread which was one of their more recent struggle sessions. Caring about minorities in the abstract is easy, being asked to actually mask up to protect disabled people is… also easy, but that won’t stop most people from acting like it’s hard.

        yeah and i think they are planning on bring back the bots to detect them. usually those at the bottom of a thread with negative upvotes are always stupidpol posters

            I don’t fuckin know, gotta be mobile device HW IDs and MAC addresses or something.

            All I know is I got permbanned like 10 years ago for getting drunk one night and reporting every post in a fash sub (circlejerkaustralia), which went to the admins and got me banned for report abuse. Every single account I’ve ever made since has been permbanned within 2 weeks for evasion. Completely different burner emails, phone on wifi, phone off wifi, work laptop while actually in the office - doesn’t matter, all get banned some time between 1 hour and 2 weeks after creation.
