Who's BardFinn?
Admin/moderator of r/AgainstHateSpeech, or whatever it's called. They are almost hilariously infantile, yet it is in no small part their fault that reddit quarantined r/GenZedong after they brought the sub under further scrutiny during the apex of the Uyghur genocide discourse.
Of course, us commies were deemed genocide deniers (I mean, you got me there I guess) and anti-Uyghur racists for criticizing violently Sinophobic myths and exaggerations, and then quarantined. I'm sure there are other reasons, but IIRC the quarantine is primarily the result of BardFinn's efforts.
Otherwise, they are the archetypical :: moderator. Language policing, banning any and all dissenters, stirring shit up. Probably a fed.
Pretty sure the main reason was the "pro russian" stuff when the SMO had just kicked off and not the "genocide denial" which we were "guilty" of for years before the quarantine
That's what I remember as someone who came here right after the Genzedong quarantine started. Up until that point Genzedong was THE best aggregated news/commentary community I could find which wasn't parroting obvious western propaganda on the re-escalation of the conflict/SMO and other subjects too
