I remember when that sub was centrist, maybe lib-con, but now it’s Wolfsschanze 2 electric boogaloo

      1. It happened to my country subreddit. The moderator migrated to lemmy and locked down the sub in protest to the api changes. An admin forced it open and it’s now a cesspool of facsists and ring wing idiots.

        The best way to shut down a sub is to leave it open but set automod to remove all new posts for “Unverified account”

      1. They really aren’t. German and Austrian national subs (de and austria) are mostly pro migration (there’s definitely an anti-migration camp but it’s nothing near the deluge of racism of r/europe) and I haven’t ever seen a post/comment there upvoted that could be considered pro AfD/FPÖ. The amount of faschos on r/europe is just insane compared to most national subs.

    Was this post made by AI, or am I missing some reference or dogwhistle knowledge.

    What is the connection between wiki article about horse from two centuries ago to r/Europe to nazism?

    Hehe, pot. Can relate, sibling.

    Also, kinda’ reflects the actual socio-political climate, Fascism’s been on the rise on this side of the pond, too. Hell, I’m nearer to Russia than I am the UK, and you can feel the scales tipping to overcompensate for what uninformed (i.e. most) people still think is Socialism. Gonna be a stompin’ party all around the globe when things come to a head.

      The funniest Thing is how it got its name.

      The origin of his name has several different versions. According to the most common, Bertie intended to call the young colt “Potato” and instructed the stable boy to write the name on a feed bin. The stable boy spelled the name as “Potoooooooo” (Pot followed by 8 "o"s; that is, a failed attempt at spelling phonetically), which so amused Bertie that he adopted the spelling.

      Also stable boy lol
