Briefly had a look at the Australian subreddit. My God, the racism over there is disgusting. It's been very visibily brigaded by the no-campaign, yet the mods do nothing.
Really, really glad I'm moving on from reddit, if only because I'm sick of seeing this shit.
Moving this community to a smaller site will drop so many of the brigading trolls that swing by the big subs and topics. I'm suspicious of social media, all that racism could be coming from a few people with many accounts.
Thanks for the heads up, I'm trying to avoid negatives now, we all need more positives in our lives.
I'm still mad that I got banned for 7 weeks for talking about politics when other people were talking politics in a thread. And IIRC it was pretty tame too.
The Canada sub was the same with the posts about Canadian Muslims protesting drag queen story times and sex ed for kids. Full of hate for Muslims, lefties, snowflakes etc.

that sub has been terrible for a long long time.
