Ew wtf we don't want PCM users here
Are they that bad? Haven't followed that sub (or any, except my local one) for a while
The big problem, essentially, is the "All viewpoints are legitimate uwu" pushed by the moderators, and the fact that right-wingers used that to shitpost to their heart's content, driving out less pugnacious non-right wingers and resulting in an overall majority (or at least, vocal plurality) of right-wingers and the normalization of their views showing up in PCMs.
There are still legitimately left-wing posters on there. They're just the minority. And don't trust the flairs that say 'left' or 'libleft', because there are plenty of false-flag right-wing chuds.
Reddit's PCM is a bad place to go to, but as someone who enjoys PCMs themselves, especially back in The Good Ol' Days, I also know what it is to like something but hate the only community of note.
So an illustration of the nazi bar.
There may still be left-wing people there indeed. Worst case they raid us and we can document the drama on Reddit x)
Yeah, basically. r/PCM let the far-right post as long as they tread the lines of the rules, and it turns out, even 'within' the rules, Nazi shit is still repulsive to anyone with a hint of morality. Which means the only non-Nazis/non-Nazi tolerating remaining on the sub are those who don't mind fighting with Nazis mixed in with their memes. Which is a much smaller population than the Nazis and Nazi-toleraters.
As a side effect of this, the whole sub is dominated by low effort wojak memes because online fash has a terminal case of 4chan brainrot. Our own pcm comm quality is much closer to the very early pcm sub which I think will go a long way to bring the good audience here.
