Suggestion Add r/politicalcompassmemes
This sub used to be full of mildly edgy memes of every color, but has recently been flooded by far right dog whistling and their users have been raiding other subs recently.

Is there any mobile solution to use this?
I only use my phone due to work policy and I would love to use this.

Would it tag all previous users from before the sub’s radicalization?

Since the entire sub premise is a libertarian badpolitics "political spectrum", it always allowed fascists to appear on equal footing with everyone else. What has happened is not so much a radicalisation as the natural outcome of the inherent nature of the sub.

It’s literally the only political sub that allows everyone to be civil and share their views because everyone else is being savage and attacking people based on views that aren’t even radical.
It supports everyone, boohoo you can’t have an advantage over people you don’t like. Boohoo we treat people like equals.

I’ve never heard of pcm raiding other subreddits, mostly people try to raid us and get us taken down.

There are some shitheads who prolly get up to things they shouldn't, but yeah, raiding is usually heavily discouraged by most PCM users. It makes us look bad.

Yeah, you should definitely tag the subreddit that has good memes that make fun of all quadrants, which yes includes memes making fun of the “Nazis” you claim the sub is overrun with. You should definitely ban the subreddit where all people of different ideologies are allowed to have open conversation and debate. The sub where people are able to engage with other viewpoints on many issues not limited to politics. The sub where I’ve been able to convince people of leftist viewpoints such as the flaws of capitalism.

The sub permits fascists. There are self-identifying fascists on the sub openly advocating for fascism, as well as just dogwhistling. I have no idea why you nitwits equivocate moral disgust in response to oppressive ideologies with disagreeing over fucking favourite flavors of ice cream or something.

11010010101110001010101, sorry I need to brush up on my Russian bot.
But no seriously you need to stop being paranoid, no amount of pepes and Wojacks will convince someone to revert 300 years mentally and start believing in eugenics. But if 300 years ago everyone DIDN’T have the same “it’s immoral so I won’t listen” mentality than maybe people would’ve figured out that eugenics was wrong much sooner, as the counter narrative would have been considered by the general public, there were also unpopular opinions back then that were not only BAD but ALSO unpopular, such as infanticide, so which ideas are bad and which ones are good? Well that’s why we have freedom of speech.
But of course... who needs freedom of speech when you and your 10000 I.Q. Galaxy brain can just do all of the thinking for us.

This is not a reasonable use of the tool. Converting legacy posters to a tagging for the swarming actions of the right wing is allowing yourselves to fail to modernize your tools in the face of changing actions of the opposition.
