Well there was a time that SRD banned all SRS drama off the frontpage, how did they manage to achieve that? Suddenly SRD was being called a brigade instead. Note that SRS has never accepted the .np script, well a lot of the users wanted it but the mods didn't think it was a good idea.

Yeah I was around when that decision was made. You know why it was made? To protect SRS from brigades from SRD. To insulate all criticism of SRS on SRD to a single, easily ignored placed.

Why? Because SRD mods are sympathetic to if not in fact SRSters.

Heh it was kind of funny when SRSer /u/greenduch was modded here by one of the older mods (forgot who) and it backfired pretty hard. I'm surprised they didn't mod an alt instead.

They didn't ban SRS drama. They put it in a weekly round-up. And people talk shit about SRS all the time here without the mods doing anything. ShitRedditSays is a subreddit full of angry activists and trolls. They aren't the fucking Illuminati.

Yes and participation and viewing of that drama dropped by at least 50%. It was a concerted effort to move SRS drama into a single place so that it could be easily ignored by the SRD subscribers and mods who think SRS somehow not a terrible hive of scum.

I kind of imagine them as that weird part of tumblr where just being a male is a crime, except instead of being on tumblr they discovered Reddit and their sole purpose is to be offended by everyone and everything.

They also love blueish colors. Especially when they point down.

What I love is that they think they have the definitive definition of what an ally is. Anyone else, including minorities of any description, cannot decide for themselves what an ally is. The predominantly white and male subreddits called the "fempire" have been host to some spectacular displays of racism, sexism, and general discrimination toward "special snowflakes". Which is their preferred version of "race traitor".

My guess is that it's because they brigade in a "good way", in that their brigading makes the less attractive portions of reddit get downvoted or berated into submission. The other side of the coin are your /r/[insert slur]. When they brigade, they make reddit look way worse to any outsiders. So when they brigade and harass other forums, they get chucked.

I'm getting a little conspiratory I guess, but I honestly think SRS brigades are tolerated because despite how insane they are, they effectively smother the uglier aspects of the website.

EDIT: For those downvoting immediately for thinking I'm supporting SRS, take five seconds to actually read what I wrote. For those that are now downvoting because I edited complaining about downvotes... shit, yeah, I probably have that coming.

But they don't really. They don't change anyone's opinion and they don't even spread their hate and insanity in a sensible way. Any target, at any time, for any reason. There is no thought given to it. Why bother finding out real information when all you have to do is call someone an oppressor to silence them in your own mind?

I don't think SRS is effective at changing anyone's mind about much. But I do think they go in and upvote one another and downvote people with offensive opinions, and that makes reddit look like it's not actually supporting wildly offensive stuff.

  • [-]

  • 19:03:49, 30 September

Yeah but they make no effort to do so any time the horrible thing reddit says agrees with their ideology. You will never find an SRS post about how somebody on one of their subforums said "Kill all men" and how that is sexist. Nor will you ever find a post about someone who "punched the first white person I see" is a racist. Or even at all a bad person. In fact they will go far out of there way to defend any minority for any reason, even if they are doing something they generally disapprove of.

I just think that their efforts are so disparate and fractured that they produce no real effect.

That's what I mean though. Nobody gets up in arms about anti white dude stuff. This website won't make national news by beligerantly screaming about the patriarchy. It's the marketably offensive stuff that makes reddit look bad. And while they're usually angry and derailing and stupid about it, those are some parts of reddit they target.

I don't want to come off as pro-SRS, because I hate that sub almost as much as TRP. I just think their brigades are much more tolerable from a PR standpoint.

See, this is the problem. I wouldn't mind SRS actually did focus on some of the shittier aspects of Reddit, what with so much cancer being on the default subs.

However, it's essentially just "this guy said something bad about feminism, ARM THE DILDOS". It's less "focusing on shitty people" and more "stop liking what I don't like". Not to mention that they aren't even trying to not be a brigade.

You've really got to think that if /r/ShitRedditSays is banned, then SRD won't be far behind it. SRD still has noticeable vote patterns with plenty of popcorn pissers and .np can easily be disabled quickly with a checkbox to the right, plus SRS has now made a very similar post to what /u/MillenniumFalc0n had made addressing brigading.

SRS is a brigade and so is every other meta sub.

Nope. SRD will switch to screenshots only if SRS gets banned. I don't think SRS is going to circlejerk over screenshots (it would gradually lose popularity) while SRD can perfectly continue being a drama sub without meta-linking.

  • [-]
  • closetedgay1234

  • 19:28:17, 30 September

Why do you think SRS would lose popularity and SRD would be perfectly fine? Why would SRS be banned first and SRD be given a chance to be improved? All meta subs are brigades: The admins should change their policy towards them or get rid of them altogether.

  • [-]
  • antebella

  • 19:38:20, 30 September

Part of the SRS subscriber base actually want to get rid off what they perceive are bad aspects to reddit (casual racism, rape jokes, etc.). If their efforts don't have an impact anymore (no more pissed of redditors, no more downvoted bigotry ) they will walk away from it completely. These are the people that go on Twitter and try to ruin other peoples lives if they said something racist/misogynist in the media, they want to be active and shouting at screenshots won't satisfy their needs.

SRDers haven't got anything invested in this sub, there's no underlying ideology, people subscribe here for fun. I even believe there's a chance that the quality of posting will improve because mods or users won't be able to delete the comments once the drama's posted. How many times do you see /r/cringe threads being nuked when linked to SRD for example?

  • [-]
  • closetedgay1234
  • -1 Points
  • 19:51:47, 30 September

ShitRedditSays is basically to circlejerk about shit redditors say, or at least that is my impression. I believe that they would still be able to circlejerk about how terrible redditors are through screenshots.

Why does underlying ideology really matter here, especially when SRS's underlying ideology is beneficial to the image of the site? And believe it or not, SRDers have their own beliefs and will circlejerk about certain things (ie. how much SRS sucks), this is why SRD always puts out a unified voting front, if we didn't have something invested in this then np wouldn't be needed.

Edit for clarification: I'm saying that SRS is a circlejerk as in a "positive feedback loop that can occur when ideas and beliefs are reinforced within a group or subculture’s enclosed space."

SRS hails itself as a circlejerk (specifically what it calls itself) and I thought that wasn't a debatable issue...

It isn't. A "circlekjerk" isn't what you seem to think it is. go to /r/circlejerk and see. What they do there is a circlejerk. Constantly joking about things that aren't their real opinions to create satire.

SRS does not do that. SRS seriously believes and attempts to enforce their "circlejerk" ideas onto the rest of reddit. By the simple fact that they are being ideologically honest they are not a circlejerk.

A circlejerk is a hivemind without self-awareness. they rarely involve satire outside of r/circlejerk, which requires self awareness.

interestingly, one hallmark of a circlejerk is silencing dissenting opinions. (through downvotes)

This is a good writeup of what a circlejerk is.

When someone uses the world "circlejerk" on reddit, they are refering to a specific thing and style of satire. One that SRS categorically does not participate in because they seriously believe their ideology.

Intortus probably uses that word because he thinks rape jokes, 'racist' humor, etc is undesirable for this website. Mods and admins don't like to have to deal with pissed off people anyway because someone said a naughty word or made a 'bad' joke.

Also you usually don't see SRS linking to a two day old thread, no it's always a couple of hours old, so the voting traffic is masked.

Because the site looks better in the public eye when racism/homophobia/misogyny/whatever is heavily downvoted and criticized. After the whole jailbait fiasco I'm pretty sure the admins are doing whatever they can to not seem like a haven for bigots and pedophiles, and SRS voluntarily helps that cause.

Not really, it's a pretty common thing. They're in favor of women's lib, gay rights, you-name-it progressive cause provided that cause asks absolutely nothing from them from except lip service.

Here we have tangible evidence that SRS invades and brigades. Where are the admins? While I certainly think it shines Reddit up that /r/niggers is gone, we need to enforce the same rules to other hate groups. /r/niggers was banned for invading. SRS should be, too - and the rest of their subs.

SRS even has a meta-post at the top of their sub to tell people not to invade so much. And it's not like they contribute when they're invading - it's just a variation over "go play in traffic", "did your menzfeel get hurt?" and "lol i dont even, dont real".

Why are the admins accepting this? Only a matter of time before the media catches on and exposes the nature of their doxxing and cyberbullying (Amanda Todd, anyone?), just like the media caught on with the pedos and those creeps that took pictures of girls.

EDIT: SRSMythos is now following this comment. And in a moment of almost unbelievable stupidity, the OP of the SRSMythos post admits to invading the thread that this thread is about. Here's the link.

Admins messaged. I feel confident they'll take the appropriate action against /r/ShitRedditSays - they've already established what happens to subs that work like this with /r/niggers.

Full disclosure, SRS pisses me off to no end - I think they're extremely damaging to the LGBT cause and they are the reason I no longer support that common 'grouping' of us in LGBT. I simply didn't know the lesbian culture carried such hate for the surrounding society and I do not want to partake in alienating the straight community from gay men at least. I don't want to be associated with hate groups like that, nor do I want them to "protect" me from people calling me a faggot or whatever.

Despite what we all know, we don't really have "tangible evidence", and certainly not proof.

They have investigated in the past, and they will probably investigate in the future, but only if it benefits them.

if you look at the comments by SRS people in that thread, quite a lot of them are in the negative. It's varied between positive and negative scores in terms of SRS comments, and the comment that SRS linked to in this case has a positive score. The main guy who objected to the joke also posted in SRSsucks that he's not from SRS. There really isn't an SRS conspiracy to downvote everyone.

It's not particularly stupid, there are just some subs where you can't link to threads you've already commented in, and I wasn't sure if that was the case with SRSMythos, so I said I'd already commented, and if that's not allowed for that sub, I'd delete either my comment or my post. Also, someone could just look at the Mythos post, look in this thread, and see I've commented in both. You're not the detective investigator you think you are pal.

I don't mind the downvotes, but I'd be interested to know why? Am I missing something? In all seriousness please inform me if I'm done something wrong and I'll try and address it.
