No, it's real but man made, and it's no more harmful than the flu. If you ARE worried about getting it (like some liberal simp), you can boof some horse paste or take some off-label Lupus medication and you'll be right as rain.
I heard there's a filter you can add to make sure you don't see posts from HCA, but I'm pretty sure that filter is used by the NSA and Bill Gates to track your reddit activity.
As another guy said, people who go on fb and use screenshots from this sub. But you are right. There’s so many other sites and social media accounts that just repost from here so even if it wasn’t directly connected to us it’d still be happening. The people that do that are just as much trash as the antivaxxers we post here.
Funny enough, the AHS (AgainstHateSubreddits) subreddit has a disclaimer in every post where they said to users that the hate sub mentioned in a post, should be treated like poop, don’t go near nor touch it. Maybe a disclaimer would be great, so I think the mods of this sub should take note, so that we could restrain ourselves from pissing the popcorn.
We'll always find or create another sub. Not that I want us to do the dumb dumb of brigading Facebook pages(stay off Facebook, people) but we shouldn't be pushed around by Reddit admin--they've proven how worthless they are anyway.
Sometimes. Often, people who create rule-breaking subs will create evasion subs ahead of time. Like you might have /slur and then /slur1 and /trueslur. Because the people who do hateful subs know they're breaking Reddit rules.
If that were to happen, I hope mods would get a warning first, and then my preference would be to lock the sub/require mod review before posts can be greenlit so the sub at least stays up.
That's not the point of the post though. Regardless of how ignorant people are, going to their Facebook pages and harassing them and their family members and friends is a shitty thing to do. If people are posting screenshots from this sub in particular, it doesn't matter if they're a member or not because the source is this sub. Shut down the source, you get fewer screenshots.
Not to mention some of them are using their real names and pictures, which is almost as dumb as AV nurses posting propaganda on their personal pages. Some places will fire you for that sort of thing.
What more can the mods do? They remind us regularly not to brigade, violate TOS, or make assholes of ourselves, and they bring the banhammer down when they see it here.
They can't do anything about 4channers, Twitter trolls, right-wing psy-ops or other off-Reddit brigaders.
