    The guy who admin my lemmy instance is also the mod of r/Brasil and he and the Brazilian mod team worked a lot to avoid the subreddit to become an alt-right shithole like the rest of country subreddits (the losers from the alt-right national subreddit even had to pay for reddit ads to try to funnel user there).

      That’s hilarious. And surprisingly uplifting if the alt-right sub in question is r/brasillivre, since that shithole is still empty.

        It was customary in r/Brasil to never mention the other subreddit, but yes I’m talking about that one.

          Well, at least here we can talk about Voldemort without evoking him, right? (Unless this shit is like Betelgeuse - on the third time you mention his name, he pops up to ruin your day.)

          Okay, serious now: that’s sensible since in r/brasil it would be basically advertisement.

            They were also the “Freeze Peach”™ subreddit, and if you dare to talk about how they let racism, transfobia and other shit pass on they would ban you even if you never commented on their subreddit.
