oh it gets worse. there's a whole subculture of places like this. it's absolutely teeming with bad actors. mix that with edgy angst riddled teens. you got a radioactive concoction right there.  fun fact. several years back the reddit admins unceremoniously nuked the all the moderator accounts. rumor had it it was all one person posting as several different personalities. possibly someone clinically insane or something. it may also have been a group of people though. nobody is really sure. that's how fucked it all was.  they had been basically inciting the subreddit userbase. psychologically manipulating people and stuff. weird shit like that.  there's a scheme on those neet subcultures where they lure people off site. to discord servers or other more private messaging platforms. where they fuck around with them. that subculture skews young. tweens and immature teenagers who are not in a good place mentally. so they get preyed on.  there are chat rooms where they coach people into suicide or self harm. goad them into ruining their lives. indoctrinate them with insane ideas. in some ways it's basically one avenue the alt-right uses as a pipeline to radicalization. at least that's my theory. target those who are lonely, suggestible, uneducated. the people there are already on the precarious fringes of society. they have nothing in life and to lose. it all fits perfectly.  anyways. reddit corporate had put that subreddit under some sort of extraordinary measures. every post and comment had to be approved by someone which i suspect were reddit employees for a brief while. it went on for a while until they eased it back into a normal operating subreddit.  i've never seen another subreddit get treated to such unique measures. not even the political ones at the height of all that subreddit quarantine drama. reddit corporate basically lets moderators run subreddits however they want. with the neet subreddit, the admins went full nuclear but not a ban
