Ok, so it looks like stormfront is a website that promotes white pride. It sounds like there might have been a subreddit at some point based on that stormfront image.
I’m using non-reddit links because I don’t want to direct traffic to reddit.
Can you help me find a source that shows, stormfront, a white pride website, influenced the 196 rule please? This seems like an important point to learn more about. I’ve been googling, but I haven’t found any connection yet.
“Trans friendly” is a weird way to say creepy chasers, the amount of overt sexualisation and objectification of trans people from non-trans people there is horrendous.
You’re reading too hard into the reddit=stormfront thing. It’s just a common leftist refrain off-reddit because 90% of the site is pro-nato white supremacy and nationalism even if a handful of communities might be slightly less bad.
I honestly know very little about Stormfront, beyond what I’ve googled. I don’t support white pride groups. I have seen people referencing it on Lemmy though.
I won’t contest that racism and bigotry existed on reddit. It definitely did. I also experienced and saw kindness and acceptance. Saying Reddit in its entirety is racist is really no different that saying everyone is racist. And not everyone and not everyone on reddit is racist.
They said elsewhere that they’re autistic. The need to be exact and truthful when people generalize something like a community is something i identify with. Its why I dont really love the stormfront joke myself, just go along with it for community peace. This person to me is clearly well intentioned and is an example of the dunk impulse going too far because I think they’re trying to do right.
ETA: Actually I got them mixed up with another user they never said they were autistic. But I still think they are well intentioned.
It goes without saying all lives matter. It needs to be said that Black Lives Matter. I am aware racism exists on reddit. I’d love to see a survey or study that indicates a majority of people are racist on reddit.
I’m not convinced that calling reddit predominantly racist is based on actual sympathy for people of color. There is a competing reason I can think of why someone would want to discredit reddit however. They tended to moderate against authoritarian communists, people who are notorious for their support of governments that committed genocides against minorities.

reddit is full to the brim liberals and liberals are at best fascist enablers, at worst - especially when foreign politics are involved - they are fash-lite, consciously or otherwise
can someone please explain why the word rule appears in titles so often
its a
thing from /r/196
/r/196’s thing is its a “rule” that you have to post something whenever you visit the sub. And most people post “rule” when they do so.
This comm is just reusing the tic.

And /r/196 is a leftist meme posting subreddit that is trans friendly.

Its a hexbear joke to call reddit stormfront
It’s a long running hexbear joke to compare Reddit to stormfront given how racist and white it was
That’s why the emoji booty used is called :reddit-logo :
I see, thanks.
The original sub was banned from Reddit for repeatedly saying a person who killed slave owners did nothing wrong, as some additional context
Who was the person who killed salve owners? I honestly do not know the history of the original sub.
John Brown
Redditor trying to decipher the bit:
I think you should be more judicious about who you’re dunking on tbh. This person seems well intentioned enough.
ETA: I take this back.
What does your ETA acronym mean? I usually read “ETA” to mean “estimated time (to) arrival”…

196 was creepy and chaser-y about trans folks?
Also the
emoji is just making fun of how openly or (poorly) covertly white supremacist reddit is in general.
196 kind of was chasery at first but got less chasery as time passed
Ah, gotcha
Not from what I’ve heard. edit:spacing

I think stormfront the user, Stormfront the right wing website, and Stormfront the Apple store are all 3 seperate entities.
I think you got them mixed up. I hope you mixed them up and they aren’t somehow connected anyway.

it’s a joke about reddit’s tendency towards racism and other bigotry, not the literal stormfront website.

Reddit (the platform) banned us for celebrating a guy who killed slaveowners, that’s why we call them
.
Who was the guy you celebrated?
yeah its a joke making fun of a large portion of reddit
you’re giving real “all lives matter” vibes with this response

hence the stormfront joke
It’s a redditor habit.
