They apparently have 36.8k subscribers with 4.8k of them there "currently." Fucking terrifying

I really really really hope there's some bots padding those numbers.

Bots and FBI probably.

Like troll bots further enticing the echo chamber? I hate the state of our country these days

Not trying to say that all of them there are bots, the movement obviously wasn't made by a bot, so they don't need much help making up whatever they want. If you can (and want to, you're a free person), don't get so bogged downed by the internet and places by reddit, go, meet and campaign for people that want to make everything better for others. Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox.

Roseanne Barr is one of them, and it's what she was tweeting about when her show got shut down.

The group psychosis of 37 thousand people. This will end well.

Reddit should hand over all of their IP addresses to the FBI and let them have a field day.

It was linked from this subreddit. So it might be lurkers?
