POTUS campaign absolutely knows its history. They intentionally walk right up to the line of outright white supremacy, and go over it to test the boundaries like right now. When the response isn't that strong it emboldens them that they can go further. This is boiling the frog so they can get fascism into the mainstream.
That Facebook policymakers still try to pretend a neutral both-sides-ism exists and that people aren't bad actors (just like reddit with /r/the_donald) makes me think they're either idiots or in league with them.
- vkou 6y agoReddit did eventually clean house, though. r/the_donald is now a dead subreddit, and has been for quite sometime.
- bduerst 6y agoEven though it was quarantined, the mods eventually killed it themselves by restricting who can post. It's likely they're trying to move the userbase to another subreddit.
- totony 6y agoFrom what I've seen, reddit's policy is to quarantine a subreddit and warn the admin to moderate more heavily "or be banned". My guess is they did this to ensure reddit wouldn't ban the subreddit and wipe out its whole history (at least that's what I'd do if faced with such a situation).
