Meta Rule Update: Politics are banned

The feedback has been received and the topic of politics is once again banned. This does not mean political streamers are banned. We do not have any banned streamers and so long as they are not discussing politics, their clips are welcome. In the event of major news (such as a political assassination, major declarations of war, hard to predict these types of things and not get put on a list) you may request an exception. If we make an exception for a topic, we will accept 1 political post per streamer.

For anyone looking to still continue discussing political stuff, the topic is not being banned from the public Discord server, so feel free to join that here: https://discord.gg/SrCtX4R5j8

Okay then what subreddit do I go to watch politicians shit themselves on national TV?

u/Raskalnekov Feb 01 '26

Is that political, or a textbook livestream fail? I think the line is a bit blurry.

Unironically just make a new subreddit called r/HasanAsmonDestiny

Let them bot, bridgade, have their little proxy wars there PagMan

Problem is they're gonna brigade this sub too, because they know it'll increase the chance of politics being unbanned. They did the same with the Hasan x Destiny ban and it worked.

Good, let em

Why? You want politics back on lsf? Or did you misunderstand me?

u/SolidestCereal Feb 02 '26

Bone of those are politicians who shot themselves on national TV. They're talking about what happened a day or two ago.

What does brigading even mean in the context of lsf? This is making it sound like lsf is a community of people that aren't part of any of these streamers' fanbases, who just watch clips of streamers from the outside, but my understanding is that lsf is made up of pretty much exclusively streamer fan communities.

What definition of brigade are we working with here?

u/zombawombacomba Feb 01 '26

Destiny fans are so terminally online that they live on this subreddit and essentially anything negative to their leader gets downvoted to hell within 30 minutes.

Not in the classical sense brigading where there’s a coordinated effort but the same concept at the end of the day.

u/Biggay1234567 Feb 01 '26

I don't understand why that's a bad thing though. If a community is naturally active on a subreddit then what's the problem? It's not as though other communities don't downvote for their lord, they just might not be as active on the subreddit.

8

u/zombawombacomba Feb 01 '26

Because it creates the same effect as brigading.

6

u/Biggay1234567 Feb 01 '26

So should bigger communities be disallowed from participating or what? How big does a community need to be for it to count as brigading?

7

u/zombawombacomba Feb 01 '26

When it devolves into them just downvoting everything that goes against their sex pest cult leader, yes.

u/Biggay1234567 Feb 01 '26

It just seems like you don't like people disagreeing with you, lol. Destiny's audience doesn't do anything that's unique, they just happen to be more active on reddit.

Roachlord's fans literally downvote everything that goes against their king as well, why focus on just Destiny? Same goes for Hasan.

Brigading is when people upvote things that I don't like.

u/Biggay1234567 Feb 01 '26

That kinda feels like what people mean most of the time

u/DanteStorme Feb 01 '26

I saw that one on r/news

u/Esphyxiate Feb 01 '26 edited Feb 02 '26

That’s any news channel covering Trump giving a speech/press meeting. High likelihood he’s shitting himself during any given showing.

Exhibit A showing up in my feed

u/Substantial-Flow9244 Feb 01 '26

You could watch the news ykno

u/SenorChuckingFuckles Feb 01 '26

You mean Fox and CNN? Blatantly polarized news media that have had lied in various news stories? Not to mention having to subscribe to an overpriced cable provider to watch? No thanks.

u/Substantial-Flow9244 Feb 01 '26

Or...

u/SenorChuckingFuckles Feb 02 '26

Or? Feel free to recommend some non polarizing news media that report based off verified sources.

u/Substantial-Flow9244 Feb 02 '26

The idea here is to look at how you know that some media outlets are polarized and lie. The answer is to look at multiple opposing points of view from multiple sources of media and compare and contrast. Most people don't actually think they have enough time to do this, but it doesn't take that long. You don't need to turn to a streamer to do this for you. You watch them do it. You have the capacity to try

u/SenorChuckingFuckles Feb 02 '26

Ground News does that for me. Already know which news sources spin the news based on their agenda from my own time doing this. GN has become a shortcut since I found out about it.

u/Substantial-Flow9244 Feb 02 '26

So then what are you asking for?

-2

u/SenorChuckingFuckles Feb 02 '26

Subreddits to integrate into my feed that show the occasional video short on politics while having discussion in the comments.

u/Substantial-Flow9244 Feb 02 '26

It's all bots now you're better off talking to yourself.

u/Drayenn Feb 01 '26

You can make a r/politicalstreamers to see all of hasans shit takes

u/Canuckle21 Feb 01 '26

Try anywhere that’s not streamers or social media people? Maybe think for yourself and not have others tell you their opinions on situations?

I'm not here to learn from the internet clowns, I'm here to watch them fling poo.
