Is this normal on Reddit when a country gets formally accused of genocide?
Is this normal on Reddit when a country gets formally accused of genocide?
This was on the front page a day or 2 ago, right near the top:
It seemed... inorganic. And I'm not sure what the gold trim is on those posts. Other posts didn't have them.
[Speaking as a mod] Given the topic I'll be monitoring this thread carefully. As such, if anyone here is eager to either promote fascism (rule #1) or witch hunt (to point fingers towards other users based on assumptions or faulty reasoning - rule #1, rule #4): don't. Also remember that the topic of this community is Reddit, there's a lot of leeway for non-divisive off-topic but please don't go overboard.
And if anyone here has concerns that some other user is doing either thing, please use the report button, OK?
[Speaking as a user] Yeah, it looks inorganic for me too. As another user said the gold trim signals that the post was gilded, gilding nowadays works like a "mega-upvote" and gives it that trim. It's possible that defenders of the Jewish genocide (Holocaust) and of the Palestinian genocide (the ongoing war) are dumping money in those posts, to promote their shitty discourses.
And that works really well in Reddit because the userbase there loves some oversimplification: they have a really hard time decoupling the Jewish people from the State of Israel.
