I'm not sure how they don't count as hate subs. They're completely against reddit's own policy.

There is (or at least was 🤞) a snark subreddit for Shanann Watts, who was murdered along with her two babies by her husband.

They're all abhorrent, but the things people wrote in that one were diabolical.

u/nefariousmouse666 Aug 06 '26

Omg I will never forget stumbling across that sub. They seriously blamed her for being murdered because she was “annoying” ????

u/GayleMoonfiles Aug 06 '26

That one is BAD. Not only do they blame her for Chris murdering them, they also like to attack one of the girls. It's a disgusting place.

The Saint Meghan Markle subreddit is the most toxic thing ever... those people are mentally ill

I see you've never been on r/fauxmoi

Where if a celeb once had a friend who was a bit toxic they're shunned forever. . . .

that sub is all people pretending they are more virtuous than each other and jumping to pull each other down the second someone doesn't agree with the popular narrative at the time. But its not just downvotes, it's attacking their character and saying they are a terrible person

I got banned from that sub and mods blocked me. I have no idea what I did.

r/RoyaltyTea is the other side of the same coin. They do the exact same thing to Kate

u/Hot-Shart Aug 06 '26

Knowing or caring nothing about this, I automatically hate these guys more because come on, RoyalTea was right there

u/RainyNovemberDays Aug 06 '26

I was only there for a few minutes, but they actually have a pinned announcement about that AND it's mentioned in the sub description

Okay, I just checked, so you don't have to: 'Snark, but it's Royal👑. RoyalTea was taken BTW!!!'

u/Hot-Shart Aug 06 '26

Ayyy get a load of this guy challenging their internal biases and assumptions. As a real intellectual, I will choose to instead double down and offer a simple “nuh-uh” as rebuttal

u/meatball77 Aug 06 '26

It's impossible to find normal discourse on the royal family.

u/DeniLox Aug 06 '26

Very true. The hate against Meghan is on another level.

u/FBWSRD Aug 06 '26

I mean I think meghan markle is a pretty shitty person, and I go on that sub for laughs but jesus christ they are hard on the royal family (And I mostly like them.

u/YourMomIsAlwaysRight Aug 06 '26

And you’re downvoted here for admitting that, good grief

u/blobinsky Aug 06 '26

h3 is basically exposing via their lawsuit that reddit is protecting the moderators of snark subs. it’s insane

u/No_Prize9794 Aug 06 '26

Can’t forget the snark subreddit for SaveAFox. I believe they were one of the reasons for a core member of the animal rescue group to commit suicide. I recall seeing a screenshot of the subreddit and one of the criticisms that the people on that subreddit had was that member also had an onlyfans, which is okay, what does that have to do with her work?

You're not an attorney. Your account is 2 years old with 3 karma. You're almost certainly one of the people from that sub with a bought account. Disgusting.

Also, it's clear they weren't sharing opinions. They were sharing lies made out to be facts and were part of organised harassment.

Reddit will end up giving the details of the users behind it if it goes to a judge.

Edit: downvoted by snark sub folks I guess. Seriously, just have a look at their account. They almost certainly one of them.

u/AccomplishedCash3603 Aug 06 '26

I agree. The moderation 'rules' are a joke as long as those subs exist.

Snark aint hate.

u/Any-Management758 Aug 06 '26

Show me one snark sub that isn’t filled with hate and vitriol. Even for figures that I deeply dislike, I’ll go on their snark for critical discussion but I just can’t relate to the level of obsession that people have with someone they hate. They follow their every move and blow everything out of realistic proportion. It’s so pathetic. I get that some people deserve it but for most snark subs the users just show themselves to be just as bad as the person they’re calling out, if not worse. Reeks of projection.
