Are you aware that one of the /r/xkcd put links to /r/TheRedPill, /r/holocaust & several other (in my opinion) nasty subreddits in the sidebar masked as links to /r/AskHistorians and other actually relevant subs? I've seen SRS shout at people, others accuse them of vote brigading & they certainly control the content of their own subreddit with an iron fist, but if you think that tricking people into visiting nasty places that undermine the dignity of other human beings is not "imposing" your beliefs on others, you must be blind.
I don't see those links there anymore. It does make sense to remove /u/soccer, but to then put it in the hands of somebody else with an obvious agenda with be a mistake.
Links to /r/xkcdcomic are not only censored, but automatically censored. Links referencing that there might be something amiss in the subreddit at the moment without triggering /u/Automoderator 's response are being deleted. The current mods of /r/xkcd are intentionally trying to block fans of xkcd from being able to find information about xkcd.
As far as I know, he isn't censoring any opinions. If he doesn't want the sub to be used to divert subscribers to a similar sub, then I don't think that's a big deal. If users from SRS, with its well-deserved reputation for brigading and complaining about everything on Reddit, weren't involved, then I don't think he'd be cracking down like he's doing. If it were the general Reddit population that were demanding his removal, I'd see less of a problem with this. But seeing that it's a bunch of SRSers who want one of their own to be assigned to the sub, I just can't join in the witch hunt.
Based on what? As far as I know, based on my reading about this drama, /u/Wyboth [-29] doesn't mod for SRS, so what do you propose? Anyone who comments in or likes SRS shouldn't mod an unrelated subreddit?
Not anymore than you'd want a redpiller to mod a sub.
Really? Shouting at bigots on the internet is as bad as denying genocide?
Not only that, but it's pretty clear from Munroe's comics that he leans feminist. Why does it make more sense to have a bigot in control of a sub rather than someone who might be massively more feminist than the creator of the comic?
Acting like bigots while shouting at other kinds of bigots (and even people who just said something that displeases the feminist hivemind) doesn't work in their favor.
Hell, I'm not an SRSer & I'd happily take the sub & give it to a random person on Reddit, because I like xkcd & I think the creator deserves to have a say in xkcd's representation on Reddit.
Same here. I would just be careful not to give it to someone with a harmful agenda.
I get the distinct impression that this drama extends far beyond SRS.
Using subredditdrama material for journalism? smh.
No, I was asking because I wanted to know your opinions on whether you think, for example, that links to /r/TheRedPill, say, are reasonably related to xkcd & not just the peddling of ideology.
I don't think those links belong there as they obviously have nothing to do with the comic. I do agree with you on that.
There's nothing here!
