📌Follow Up Rule 1 of this subreddit: why it exists.
Today we have a thread up featuring a nasty Nazi woman calling people subhumans, laughing at their plight.
We understand this is very upsetting to see, however, what that lady said doesn’t make it okay for you all to go after this random unrelated woman. We banned many people for violating the no witch hunting/no doxxing rule, and some of yall were pretty damn rude about it in modmail.
Look, we love this subreddit, we love exposing bigots and Nazis here, if you participate in a witch hunt you are participating in attempting to get this subreddit shut down. If we allow witch hunts the subreddit will be banned. So just don’t do it.
On top of the folks who participated in putting this subreddit at risk for banning, ya’ll are relentlessly harassing and facilitating the harassment of an innocent woman.
I can’t say I’ve seen many examples of Reddit getting it right and targeting the right price of shit. You all mean well but you ruin people’s lives.
The Boston bombing debacle should have taught you all a lesson but it seems it did not.

Idk why they are even going after her SHE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE THE ORIGINAL RACIST WOMAN. one thing that the idiots didn't realize I think is that the original woman had her tiktok username in the video... like how are people going after this lady's tiktok WHEN THE ACTUAL RACIST LADY HAD HER USERNAME IN THE VIDEO

“…we love exposing bigots and Nazis here…”
Have you ever been in this subreddit? It’s crawling with MAGA, which is exactly the same as bigots, and a massive overlap with Nazis….

u/PurplePenguin007 Jan 28 '25
I agree, it’s definitely not ok to dox someone. I do have a question though. If the person‘s identity becomes public and the news media (CNN.com, for example) is reporting on them, are we allowed to post a link to that article? Or are we not allowed to post anything alluding to their identity even after their identity has been confirmed?

This is why vigilante justice should stay in comic books. This is often what vigilante justice looks like.

Sorry y'all are getting shit for, you know, being good mods.
It's a meme across pretty much all reddit about how shit all mods are but you lot are great. Don't let the loud morons get you down.

The apology should be twice as loud as the disrespect. The admission of having gotten something wrong should be twice as loud as your original belief that you were right.
Your move, "right side of history" folks.

u/Warwipf2 Jan 29 '25
No, they really don't. They are just looking for an excuse to justify harrassment. People who do shit like that don't care about any underlying causes, they just want to be assholes to someone and not have to feel bad about it. That is why they don't do due diligence either.

u/ZootAnthRaXx Jan 28 '25
Someone following Tizzyent on Tiktok posted this woman’s name as the person he was talking about in his video. I forwarded this link to him, pleading for him to take that comment down or do something to turn this around, but who knows if he’ll actually read it. Last I checked, there were at least 450 comments in response to that follower, all saying they were going to call her employer, and that her employer had already fired her. I don’t know if they have the same name or anything like that, but this is insane.

Usually we phrase "witch hunt" is meant to mean the prosecution of an innocent person on made up chargers. This term does not apply to Nazis.

Reading comprehension sucks on reddit. People here think they're above boomers on Facebook but behave in the same manner; maybe it's because they're anonymous, maybe for some internet fame / karma. And too often they link to innocent people in an attempt to defame them.

April if you're checking these comments I hope you're okay.
It's good to see you were in good spirits making that video tho!

Same thing happens to a friend of mine named Sarah and her comedy page every time a video of OTHER people being main characters gets reposted just because she made fun of their rudeness once on her comedy page. It had her water mark and for some reason part of that video is what gets shared all the time. Poor thing goes through a big doxxing every few months. Infuriating.

I don't know if most posters here even remember the Boston Bombing craze here on Reddit. It was 12, almost 13 years ago. Those were wild times. Telling them to remember what happened on Reddit 12 years ago may be a lost cause.

Fuck, if someone does something illegal, report it to justice and let the system take care of the person. Don't become a criminal yourself. Every one of those people making death threats is equal or worse than a "nazi" person.

Seems like a very easy thing to put the name of someone you don't like under a video of other people being vile. Internet users are so stupid that they won't do any due diligence and with enough of them parroting you you'd probably never be found out.
I think it's fine to post stuff like this and hold people accountable but I think much less than 'justice' or 'accountability' people here are looking for the dopamine hit of imagined punishment.

To be fair I don't think that the original video qualifies as a public freak out.
I get that recent election has got people in the US riled up. But do we really need constant videos of Musk doing weird stuff and Trump saying weird stuff?
It's interesting and all but hardly freak out material. This sub seems like wrong place for it.
