I’m an anarchist who gets called a tankie on Reddit for using the word “imperialism” and I approve this meme
Yes. No ads. Admins are comrades. Community is responsive to feedback. Mods don’t need to self censor to please capital. You could run your own server off a $30 raspberry pi in your house and it would federate with this community out of the box. This is not neoliberal “freedom”. This is self-determination and collective action. In other words, it’s what we would have all been doing if capital hadn’t commodified these behaviors.
Turns out there’s lots of stuff Reddit admins don’t like you saying
- Death to all slave owners
- Nazis get the pit
- Founding a social website posturing as a free speech space so that you can facilitate child pornography rings is bad and makes you deserving of painful death
You know, stuff like that. Stuff they have a personal stake in.
“No, it is the users who are wrong” -Almost a literal quote from the Reddit investors call after people complained about the crypto stuff

I believe the point is that they’re equally vague knee jerk reactions to seeing trigger phrases and relevant social signifiers, as opposed to legitimate and useful political categories
