In Trump's 2nd Term, Reddit Takes Turn Toward Violent Extremism
Following Republicans’ election win, the social media site Reddit has seen an unprecedented surge in violent political content and rhetoric.

Lemmy's going this direction as well. In fact, I personally reported some links and communities to the FBI tip hotline.
And they called me back and we discussed it. I know a lot of Lemmy isn't US-based, but a lot of users are. Especially the ones I reported.
I don't give a fuck how mad about shit that Lemmy is; calling for murder, armed revolution, and saying "Let's Luigi him!" is bullshit and should be stopped.
So just in case anyone missed it, and they wanna be even more pissed at me: I reported some Lemmy communities and posts to the FBI tipline.
And my local state's FBI called me back the very next day. So yes people, report. It works.
No regrets.
I'm sure there will be a nice Iron Cross for your efforts in protecting the coup.
So you are accusing me of being a nazi (tho I'm bisexual and biracial) just because I refuse to let you guys threaten the president?
Nah, fuck that. I'm stoked that I contacted the FBI. Even more stoked that they called me back.
Lemmy is on their radar. And I'm glad to have done my part.
Thanks, comrade.
Being a target of the Nazis doesn't stop you from being one too. Just makes you a member of the leopards eating faces crew.
But that means nothing to me because I'm not a nazi. I've never even done anything nazi-like. So I don't know what you're going on about.
No I'm not. No one is talking about the election.
Try to keep up. Most dictators were elected to their position before they performed their coup to keep it
No one gets elected to break the law
This is not democracy. He's violating the Constitution left and right. He has private individuals with zero clearance breaking into secure locations and accessing confidential information they absolutely do not have the right to access. Gutting congressionally mandated agencies without congressional approval, and illegally purgung the government of workers who refuse to break the law for him.
Stop pretending this is normal!
Calling for his murder, or anyone else's, makes you a crap person though.
It IS democracy. He got voted in. Cry all you want. He's gonna be our president for a while.
Getting voted in doesn't mean you get to break the laws with impunity. I can't believe this needs to be pointed out to you. Most other dictators also initially took power legally. Then they seized more illegally.
This man has previously called for the murder of Americans. Excuse me if I show no empathy if those he's threatened aren't happy about it.
Up to the FBI and secret service. I did my part.. I reported
Yep, agreed. I DO think most of it is keyboard warriors LARPing.
But some were severe enough that I reported to FBI and secret service hotline.
So lemmy is at least on government radar now.
Goated
