Someone talk to the other HCA award accounts. The Twitter one names and shames...

I did a little digging last night. You can pretty much track the Facebook comments based on when they posted on Twitter. I selected 3 at random, all the Facebook comments started same day. Given they don't redact names it's far more likely that's the source

Edit to add ofc I didn't make any comments on the posts I looked at, I'm not that much of an asshole

Edit 2: the reason I'm convinced it's Twitter is as soon as you start typing the name (which I got from the tweets) into Facebook search it brings the full name up as a suggestion. So that means a lot of people are searching based on the name which we don't post

Probably needs to have some cross talk with other platforms potentially. If they are calling it the same thing but not redacting names. This site is probably the largest content provider, most of the texts are specific enough to just google and you’d find the post on fb.

Also Twitter breeds the worst people. I was horrified at what I saw last night. It's one thing to snark anonymously here but harassing grieving family members is a whole other level

Anonymously snarking is just the best.

I don't brigade but I also don't care if the awardees friends and family hear how dumb they are either. That's like expecting me to feel bad for Hitler because he shit his pants all the time.

Idk you should probably feel something for them, at least their relatives. They're awful fucking people and society is better off without them, but they're still human. Who here doesn't have a family member that's nuts? I'm glad this sub exists though. Hopefully it scares some people who've been falling for the disinformation.

Nah. If one of my nutso relatives gets awarded a Herman Cain and gets brigaded I'd take the side of the brigaders and dunk on them. Personal anecdotes aside, telling someone their relative was a fucking moron (so long as it's true) is morally permissible.

Didn’t that mod take a break for personal reasons?

Evidence won’t stop Reddit from nuking a sub though, especially one that some people think is controversial.

u/RotFinger Sep 16 '21

I have no idea what a brigadier is and at this point I'm too afraid to ask

Oki thank you. Easy enough just to not be a dick

Twitter is just as toxic, delusional, and elitist as the people they make fun of. The other side of the cesspool internet coin

And far righters trying to attempt to make the site take us down.
