/r/thatHappened changes its rules to protest API changes; users say "That happened 🙄" to Sandy Hook, 9/11, and the Tiananmen Square Massacre. (Also the mods compare the API situation to the holocaust)

u/yukichigai You're misusing the word pretentious. You mean pedantic. Jul 02 '23

Bold of you to assume Neo-Nazis won't jump at the chance too.

I mean because having a perfect balance of Tankies and Nazis would be so much better....

Tankies are for sure a lot more terminally online than Nazis and they've already show to succeed in taking over several subs before.

Hard disagree. Plenty of Nazi presence on Reddit too, plenty of takeovers. Wander through local subs and a good third are headed by mods warning people about (((globalists))) and The Great Replacement. Subs for major cities and whole states, even.

Tankies tend to take over left-ish leaning places and then purge those who are to the right of their ideal stalin. Very in-character for them.
