LockdownSkepticismAU, which has, to a point, been useful for local discussion and sharing of events and stuff, refuses to come over to the Win forums… 😑
Also, the old KIA2 sometimes, surprisingly still features stories and discussions that don’t make it here. 🤷🏻♂️
But otherwise no. It’s pretty much just those two subs, now. For me, anyway.
Some certain hobby subs but even those have their distinctly reddit-tier (because literally reddit) astroturfed brainrot so grain of salt. The eternal tranny janny reaches far and wide and their lust for power shows no bounds
Checking the local reddit for whatever city you may live in or travel to is a good way to find out about the local antifa or DSA chapters (reddit does not faithfully represent the attitude of a city only of its most reddity-esque people)
God I wish the sports, music and film subs did this... But lol, nope!
All of the sports subs are explicitly politicized, except the local soccer ones (which are wholesome), and this is on the other side of the world, yet the point others have made, below, about sports subs, still holds...
I don’t think I’m “allowed” to direct link to the Sub in question, to show how that page currently looks, but safe to say I am not the only one absolutely fucked over by this idiotic “update”…
One more step towards making Reddit completely useless for ANY sort of discussion…
dom didnt like it case he thought that MAYBE reddit mods would do something. but we also dont allow no spez motherfuckers to come in here, so its only cautionary.
Lol, not calling him for anything that breaks rules or other shenanigans, just that he can explain the reason why he doesn't allow it better than I do. I am going on my memory here, and it is far better a fresh explanation and from the horses or janny mouth.
Ngl, Dr J… I have nothing against you personally, or what you post, but calling in the mods like this, where they do not need, or probably want to be, is possibly, possibly a reason why people find you rather annoying… Sometimes.
It’s super, super schoolyard. No matter how “well-meaning” you may think you are being.
I am calling him to explain exactly why he doesn't allow it. As my explanation is based on memory of what I read from him(and to make matters worse, from a long time ago, so my memory is even more cloudy) . Nothing more. Better it be from the horses mouth than from a third party.
KIA is still pretty liberal. Just got booted from Reddit for 3 days for enraging a tranny advocate on the Jordan Peterson sub. My objections to the tranny lobby's subversion of our understanding of sex and sexuality was reported and accepted as "hate speech."
The left is turning us into fucking Soviet Russia. Useful Idiots.
.
To be frank, they are turning us into every fucking authoritarian regime out there. They are borrowing tactics of every single one(fascism, collusion of private companies with government for instance). Soveit Russia, nazi Germany, fascist Italy, maoist China... Everything.
Also, more and more subs are banning you for positing in other subs that "promote Covid misinformation."
The practice goes back years not just today I received messages that I was banned from oddlysatisfying and a few other subs that I never post in or even view lol
I just realised that this means Reddit has quite literally just become Facebook-but-worse… “Shit Facebook”..?
Aside from the vague illusion of anonymity, if you take Subs as being essentially Facebook “groups”, they are almost indistinguishable, in “rules and function”, now…
Insane. Especially when you consider that Reddit started specifically as a sort of… “Opposite”, of that. 😑
Acceleration-wise, I do think this move may very well be a net contributor to the death of Reddit, completely, because, going by the post replies there, even normies, even the fucking jannies in some cases (!!), absolutely hate this shit, as it has been rolled out…
Bring on the death of that fucking shithole. Even I can see that as being a net positive, and I still actively use that dumpster fire…
jannnies hate it because its harder to ban people for things they said IN OTHER SUBS lmAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Also, them blocking you blocks ability to see how they have behaved on other subreddits with similar rules. I've decided a ban duration based on how I have seen someone interact with mods on another sub
For normal, non-political conversations, there's lots of current and archived content for hobby-specific things.
Yeah, you see the occasional virtue signal, troon and/or tranny enthusiast, LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ+-!? propaganda, and the like, but I've just gotten to the point where if someone intentionally and willfully participates in or promotes that shite, I just click my 'ol buddy "block user" and continue with my day.
I'm not gonna let the AEO faggots and brownshirt legions get in my way. If I get banned, I get banned. I can always make a new account with a burner email if I absolutely need to.
I wasn't trying to tiff. I was trying to be a smartass about how retarddit is shit and everything they do makes things worse, not about your reporting on a new awful feature. This new bullshit from retarddit is new to me.
You're right, but the fact that this observable phenomenon exists across virtually all sports subs (except, notably, non-UK soccer/football subs, oddly), across all English-language geographical markets that any of us here have seen (for me personally, North America, Europe + the UK, and Oceania), suggests a coordinated effort of some sort...
Any good reason to still be on reddit? Other than to attempt to plant red-pilling seeds in enemy territory?

Quality comedy.

every sub is astroturfed now. the auto sub has mods without cars.

Fucking Christ these people are morons. 🤦🏻♂️
True, but last time I did it (ages ago) with a Reddit link, Dom complained no end…
I’m pretty sure it was in a comment, too, not a post.
I pointed out that it wasn’t in “Da Rhulez” to not link directly to Reddit, to which he just got shitty, so…
Didn’t feel like invoking his wrath again, this time, basically, lol.
His reason given was the same as you describe, but he still cared…
Apparently it “Threatened the continued existence of KIA and KIA2 as subs” on the site, or whatever… 🤷🏻♂️
You’d think being off Reddit, we would no longer worry about old Reddit rules, and I did point that out at the time, but anyway…
The reason, as he explained, was that reddit will see where the user is coming from(.win) and then they will enact their revenge on reddit kia2.
Who cares
U/DomitiusOfMassilia can explain why
Don’t blame me for this one, Dom…
I was just explaining myself, here. 🤦🏻♂️
Which I kinda regret, now, ngl…
dom didnt like it case he thought that MAYBE reddit mods would do something. but we also dont allow no spez motherfuckers to come in here, so its only cautionary.

Just a tip. 🤷🏻♂️

"Learn from history" to some means avoiding the tragedies of the past. To others, it's a checklist and instruction manual.
Similarly, 1984 is supposed to warn of coming fascism, not being the amount of cocks the jannies have sucked
So this enables trolls and soy suckers to always get the last word in?
its to save the astroturfers. now they can silence everyone who calls them out. reddit needs to be banned until they get better.

this won't be abused at all
Inhuman scabs deserve lifetime amy schumer marathons.
Wow, that’s… Even worse than I realised.
Reddit really is unsalvageable, at this point, hey..? 😑

And Bamboozler1 in his vestments, ignored the congregation to continue his sermonizing for the musical accompinament.
I mean, I’m not wrong…
But that sounds fun enough. 🤷🏻♂️
However pastors get paid. I don’t, lol.
that guy has some serious autism.
"Preaching to the choir." Telling people who already know what you are talking about what you are talking about.
Sidenote: Did you downvote me???
I mean, while I see your point, this change literally only came in ~ three or four days ago, so…
While we all know Reddit is shit, I can imagine there are some here who hadn’t seen this stupidity yet, so… 🤷🏻♂️
For those who still use the Reddit sub, or Reddit in general, it’s relevant, “preaching to the musical accompaniment” notwithstanding…
We were on a roll of like 20-something days without a tiff, GB! Let’s just agree to leave it be, lol…
I wasn't trying to tiff. I was trying to be a smartass about how retarddit is shit and everything they do makes things worse, not about your reporting on a new awful feature. This new bullshit from retarddit is new to me.
Fucking fish are just as touchy as Polacks.
A pollock walks into a bar.
Bartender asks, “What’ll you have?”.
Water.
Anyone ever notice how all the leftists tend to be really active in r/nfl, r/nba, r/nhl and any of the other major sports subs?
What's the deal with that?
Because Reddit scared off all the normal non-Leftist people with pro-pedophile, pro-trans, and other scary and disgusting shit?
theyre in some gaming subs too.
You're right, but the fact that this observable phenomenon exists across virtually all sports subs (except, notably, non-UK soccer/football subs, oddly), across all English-language geographical markets that any of us here have seen (for me personally, North America, Europe + the UK, and Oceania), suggests a coordinated effort of some sort...
Too coordinated to be coincidental, I think.
Is "pillock" an insult in other countries, or is that an (admittedly old-fashioned) Australianism..??
Because there's a rhyme, here, clearly, lol...
