It’s very bad. The insidious part is that 80% of the sub is normal so the propaganda isn’t immediately obvious. I left a comment there earlier today bringing receipts about the racist propaganda (didn’t even bring up the sexism that is equally rampant) and of course got downvoted by the bots lol

Such a bummer too because it used to be one of the funner meme subs a few years ago

Yea I joined for the memes, but it seems all meme places get infiltrated by nazis.

They fuck up every sub they show up in. Memes are targeted as a form of youth outreach, but anywhere they inject themselves it goes to shit. r/conspiracy used to be a legit fun and mostly rational sub until those fucks got their hands on it.

Conspiracy forums were never just fun, those people were never "just talking about JFK and big foot" as many people always like to claim. I'm not denying that it got objectively worse, but most of them were always into antisemitic global conspiracies. They were just more careful about it than now.

I’ve been noticing this. It’s like reddit got overtaken by 1-8 month old accounts with usually more contributions than karma and they’ll just enter whatever sub posts something about a person of color or woman and be bigoted. I’ve noticed for sure sipstea, woahthatsinteresting, and really any wnba sub but especially wnbagossips/sportsgossips. But then you’ll get the fuckers like some above saying “you’re just seeing normal stuff now and not the far left hate” lol I didn’t know being a bigot was something to be proud of?

It's always like that. The_donald was a troll subreddit people took so seriously the US government is collapsing.
