Really the redditors have done way more egregious shit than simply pushing false MSM narratives against people they don't like and then memory holed it after
As the others have outlined, Boston marathon was bombed, Reddit tried to work out who did it and failed spectacularly.
Reddit ended up going with a kid that had been missing for a while at the time of the run, kid was later found dead for unrelated reasons however the "investigation" by Reddit put an already extremely anxious family through even worse because instead of their kid just being missing the news/social media was now claiming their kid was a terrorist who had bombed a marathon.
Redditors "investigated" and concluded a particular young man did dunnit.
"We did it Reddit!"
Nope! It turns out it was a pair of middle eastern youths.
Aforementioned particular young man turns up dead. Perhaps he killed himself before being accused of a terrorist attack? Perhaps? He was mentally fragile before being believed a mad bomber, terrorist by millions.
I don't have any links, but the gist is this: Redditors tried to do the 4chan Investigator thing to identify the Boston Bomber from the Boston Marathon in 2013. They screwed it up so badly that they identified zero people involved in actually doing the bombing and pointed fingers at 100% innocent bystanders. They were then attacked and harassed by said redditors in typical fashion. The phrase "We did it, Reddit!" became a meme afterward, which was a comment posted in one of their "investigation" threads after they thought they had figure it out.
Once the real investigation started and the police realized all the "tips" they were getting about the identity of the bomber(s) were just from a bunch of retard redditors and they started pointing fingers at the two muslim kids that were actually involved, there was a monumental sweeping-under-the-rug of all their "investigations" and everyone pretended they didn't do it. It is my hope that Internet Historian or Fredrik Knudsen does a video on it sometime.
NS Germany banned mandatory vaccinations and everything about this person screams commie, it's always silly to hear the muh Nazi comparisons when these sorts are the exact types of people the Germans had to deal with.
Mostly because they banned anything to the right of Karl Marx that isn't some establishment front (eg r/conservative pretty much allows brigades, constant leftist noise despite it being a sub rule that it's a place for conservatives, and rampant TDS but if you criticized someone like DeSantis you were down voted to China)
I got a ban from /nfl for a pollock joke. Someone wrote Justin Fields scored high on some intelligence test, and I wrote imagine scoring high on an IQ test and being drafted to a town full of pollock? Got banned for racism.
My most recent ban was from subreddit I never heard of, but I commented on a joe rogan post that was recommended in my feed. I got an automated message telling me, I was banned unless I wrote back and told them why I was on the sub and apologize for it.
Context? I know for Reddit that's an alien word but I'd like to consider us a 'better class of bastards'
Boston Bomber fuckup comes to mind.
We did it, Reddit!

There was a bombing at the Boston Marathon.

Getting banned like a boss lol

I want a lack of context and source to be cause for nuking a thread at this point. It has become a persistent problem.
Reddit is a more wretched hive of leftist scum and villainy.
This is good advice but we can't just continuously cede the public spaces to extreme leftist.
Mostly because they banned anything to the right of Karl Marx that isn't some establishment front (eg r/conservative pretty much allows brigades, constant leftist noise despite it being a sub rule that it's a place for conservatives, and rampant TDS but if you criticized someone like DeSantis you were down voted to China)
If you're not banned on reddit yet you should feel ashamed of yourself.
Dammit do I have to too?
Can I just get a pass for making a colour hair cry by saying that they'll never marry a chad?
