Progressive redditors hated r/The_Donald but they recognized that it's methods work and they adopted the same tactics and created a few dozen subreddits using the same playbook. Ironically, the AOC-people are championing The_Donald's tactics better than anyone else and the Admin's don't feel like stopping them.
- 4ggr0 6y agoWell, you know. One subreddit spreads hate against non-white, non-straight, non-american people, the other subreddit spreads hate against fashists and billionaires, and people with power who discriminate others in general. That being said, it really annoyed me how many AOC posts I saw on Reddit. I kinda like her, but I'm not from the US, so ultimately I don't care that much. It felt like Reddit was just a place to post every AOC tweet in existence. Of course we can argue that hate is always bad, but this would turn into the ancient argument about what (physical) targets the right has, vs. the left. One group punches down, the other group tends to punch up.
