The Against Hate Subreddit orchestrated similar false-flag attacks last year and successfully shut down many other subreddits.
During 2016 on Facebook, similar spamming tactics were used to shut down many pages promoting Bernie Sanders.
If it really were something orchestrated by users of T_D, then why would they report it to reddit? It's more likely that outside forces had a hand in this.
- rofo1 7y agoMaybe it's unclear from my post, but I don't think T_D users did this, or even deserve this. I was merely commenting how easy is to do this to other subreddits, so any subreddit can get banned etc. So maybe Reddit should reconsider their position on banning solely because of this, if this is in fact the only reason they quarantined T_D.
- equalunique 7y agoSo I think we're on the same page. Not sure why you got downvoted, but that wasn't me. I was only trying to list a couple of examples that might add to your theory.
