Sure. I'm ignorant about this. Do you know the policy? I'd love to know more about it. I have a number of friends that have basically become full blown nazis

Sure. I'm ignorant about this. Do you know the policy? I'd love to know more about it. I have a number of friends that have basically become full blown nazis from bullshit online and I'd like to know if there's anything I can do. (maybe you have too)

It's really very difficult to miss; it's plastered over almost every page, and linked at the top of every thread. A good starting point to understanding AskHistorians is to visit it.

  https://old.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/wiki/rules https://old.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/wiki/rules this? I don't see it. Let me try again. Pretend an uneducated person reads some fabricated anti-semitic screed with conspiracy theories and nonsense and believes it to be true. How does one pull them out? It's not this forum's job, ok, fine. But the question stands. And what more the grifting propagandists writing those lies say "this is secret hidden history! you get banned for talking about it because it's all controlled by the secret order!" or whatever bogeyman they have to blame There's a significant number of people that are falling for this crap and next time there's a January 6th we may not be so lucky. There's usually a failed clown show coup a few years before the real one because society fails to address the causes. How do you think atrocities like the armenian genocide and other mass slaughterings gain support? These wacko-doodle conspiracy things like bitchute, parler, and gab are what produce it. It was pamphlets and parties back then and now it's posts and sites.

    You don't see it? It's the entire second half of the first paragraph of the first rule of the subreddit. If it was Fight Club, the rule we're talking about would be in the words "about Fight Club". I think you should actually visit the site before generating for yourself strong opinions about how it can be effectively moderated.
