I saw one of these comments yesterday; I’d post it there, but it got deleted :(

Based on OP’s comments on this thread, I can only imagine what the modding of the community is going to look like

Let’s characterize it!

I won’t abide stanning for the billionaire class or calls to impotent civility. I very much have in my heart EXACTLY the spirit of what /r/HailCorporate was and if you doubt that, you are exactly the type of corporatist cuck that I created this community to reveal.

Now to characterize your privileged perspective:

“I have no sympathy for marginalized groups, quite literally pleading for their lives. If they wanted my sympathy, they should have done so more politely!”

wahming,

I haven’t even gone into my personal opinions, but gj on deducing them.

Just what the fediverse needs. Another pit of toxicity and baseless witch hunting.

These communities end up with so many false positives. Some people just like sharing when they find stuff they like!

I’m sure we will have false positives. Luckily, having your comment or post shared on hailcorporate doesn’t disqualify you from anything.

I’ll hopefully be able to recognize witch hunts for what they are. If this community isn’t for you, please exercise your right to ignore it. :)

That’s how a lot of marketing astroturfing works though.

You let people post things organically, then you signal boost the shit out of them, and nobody can claim it’s false or contrived, because OP really did just post a thing they like.

How is a corporation going to signal boost someone in a website they don’t even know exists for a platform of a few thousand reliable everyday users when they have no presence with which to “boost” it?

Eh, I think this community would lead to me seeing even more posts shilling for companies. No thanks.

That name and image are really confusing with the stated intent of the community
