It's basically another tradition for reddit clones to surreptitiously setup beachheads for nazis. The ultimate effect of that is the site kills itself before it can ever become popular.
I've seen this pattern enough over the years. Reddit is the only OG that managed to succeed in spite of welcoming nazis.
Now that "hiding your power level" isn't a thing anymore, they can't help but run openly amok, which drives people away. They stayed in their own festering corners of reddit until 2016.
because it wasnt inhabited by them first.
Reddit wasn't popular until Digg dugg its own grave.
