New account but I’ve been using burner accounts and lurking since the sub got banned. I’ve been seeing all the standard liberal brainworms again for the first time since reddit-logo and everytime it’s an account from another federation. I was tepidly against federation at first but this has been entertaining, like the old days of pigpoop people who wandered into the sub.

I gotta imagine this will only last another week before everyone defederates us, but let’s enjoy it for now.

    Many people who jumped on board with GG originally weren’t people trying to harass women, they were people upset with all the condescension and derision they got from what were labelled “SJWs”.

    This is revisionist as fuck. Just like modern complaints about “woke” and “cancel culture”, most of people’s feeling about these things being real come from reactionaries telling them that it’s omnipresent and seeing a handful of exceptional cases. GG has a recorded history of being an impressively-orchestrated 4chan (etc) op, maybe the most successful that they ever had.
