    The guy who admin my lemmy instance is also the mod of r/Brasil and he and the Brazilian mod team worked a lot to avoid the subreddit to become an alt-right shithole like the rest of country subreddits (the losers from the alt-right national subreddit even had to pay for reddit ads to try to funnel user there).

      That’s hilarious. And surprisingly uplifting if the alt-right sub in question is r/brasillivre, since that shithole is still empty.

          Well, at least here we can talk about Voldemort without evoking him, right? (Unless this shit is like Betelgeuse - on the third time you mention his name, he pops up to ruin your day.)

          Okay, serious now: that’s sensible since in r/brasil it would be basically advertisement.

            They were also the “Freeze Peach”™ subreddit, and if you dare to talk about how they let racism, transfobia and other shit pass on they would ban you even if you never commented on their subreddit.
