Russian security forces raided gay clubs and bars across Moscow Friday night, less than 48 hours after the country’s top court banned what it called the “global LGBTQ+ movement” as an extremist organization.

Police searched venues across the Russian capital, including a nightclub, a male sauna, and a bar that hosted LGBTQ+ parties, under the pretext of a drug raid, local media reported.

Eyewitnesses told journalists that clubgoers’ documents were checked and photographed by the security services. They also said that managers had been able to warn patrons before police arrived.

    It’s one loser making a bunch of accounts and spamming several instances.

    If anything this shows the need for better automated mod tools.

        No, someone made a bunch of accounts and wrote a script to post comments with graphic shock images faster than humanly possible.

        The mods finally removed them.
