This is a solid topic ban by being clear that supporting Kirk is a ban and reddit probably sees any criticism of Kirk as advocating violence so there isn't any reason to mention him at all.
/uj Untrue. There are subs with millions of active users that are filled with posts and comments about him on the front page. Even if it were the case though, the right course of action would be to advertise the Fediverse and get people to move.
Edit: Even if you go to r/popular/, it won't require much scrolling to come across a post about Kirk.
It‘s not about bringing him up. The sub is quite big and users tend to be quite cynical and hate the far-right. Chances are high that sitewide rules will be broken.
Its the peoples choice to shit on a known fascist
How do you think subs like Fauxmoi feel about the far-right? Still, he's all over the front page. If reddit rules were truly the problem, why not make use of the AutoMod to review all comments before their publication for the next few days, or do it only for posts that have certain key words relating to Kirk in their titles?
No one knows what fauxmoi is.
Edit. Lmao it's a freaking celebrity gossip reddit sub. No one cares about that shit gethefuckouttahere
I don’t know, mods are volunteers, maybe they don’t want the hassle. There is little reason to think they secretly mourn Kirk.
"Kirk my neck" might mean something different now tho
I wasn't sure you deserved an upvote until Kirk-a-lurk-in. Genius
Lol dude removed the comment
All the fucking knee jerk censorship is already making people skittery, even on here, to the point where self censoring is starting to be normal.
The fascists are going to come for us regardless of how much we appease them.
Eh. I vote no. No one is scared about censorship.
