Site with over a million users and one of the biggest agitprop vehicles of the last five years and now it's private. Lol. Lmao.

Edit: Ok, now the mods are saying making the site private is only temporary while they "deal with the cleanup from ongoing brigading."

    Everyone thinks they'll be able to beat the system because they are exceptional.

    Oh yeah, sure. All those other losers got dunked on, but they were dumb. I am smart.

      What's crazy is that this is exactly what Fox hoped would happen. A single bad interview shut down a platform threatening capital.

        Eh. They wanted a bunch of people to click on the Jessie Waters interview and like, comment, and subscribe. I doubt they care one way or another what happens to a subreddit.

      The most inane part of it is that Fox News here doesn't even ask hardball questions, the mod just decided to self destruct from the start. Any basic planning would have beaten the system in this case.

          Or if you're uncomfortable with that (many valid reasons to be), just do an audio only interview. Like it's also an option

        It would have helped. But any serious push back would have just resulted in Jessie yelling "Cut his mic" and abruptly ending the interview.

          It's what I've been saying: Fox News has 30 years of experience in this shit. If that moderator refused to answer a single personal question and tried to steer the conversation back to antiwork, the interview would have ended before they got 5 words in.

          You are never gonna beat Fox News at their own game, in their own house.
