Not one of my usual rants, this time. I just…
It still amazes me how toxic Reddit is. Sure, it’s anonymous, but so is this place, and yet we manage to largely keep it civil, most of the time…
Even in small subs (geographical in particular, but also sports), though, Reddit is just… Fucking vile. Utter hostility on all sides.
And yet, it is still one of the most popular sites on the internet, especially amongst the demographic I “belong to” (white, male, under 30)…
How very fucking sad that is.
Yeah, that’s all I wanted to say.
Glad we got “off” that shithole, even if I stupidly still keep going back to that awful, awful site/place.
Maybe I won’t, after the last couple of weeks.
It’s honestly just extra-shit, anonymous Facebook, now, with the demographics and woke virtue signalling of Twitter and all the simping of Tumblr (and Twitter, of course)…
Few months ago I was banned for the first time on polish sub because I mocked how r*dditors treated summer of love like saints and people who peacefully protested in Canada like the scum of the earth. Reason for ban? "Comment in bad taste". For few days I kept asking mod team where it is written that 'bad taste' is forbidden, but one mod constantly changed the reason for my ban (at least 3 times in 2 days) and finally muted me from messaging when I said that I will sent screenshots to the rest of the mods that he only banned me because he couldn't stand that people were agreeing with me.
Later that month I noticed that a lot of people I liked writing with were suddenly gone. I realized that the same mod was permabanning people left and right for not agreeing with him or his views, so I decided to use ceddit and make a lot of print screens of people getting banned for anti-covid propaganda (surprise, surprise- not one comment was about anything covid related, he just banned people over the stupidest things and later boasted in the comments that he got rid of another anti-vaxxer) and created a thread showing that mod was abusing his powers.
Everyone got permabanned- me on 2 accounts (of course for being an anti-vaxxer), people who commented in that thread, people asking mods about previously banned people, users sending other screenshots with mods banning people over nothing.
I have RES installed and I checked that sub few days ago- every person who had positive upvotes from me is now gone. Fucking mod team turned our sub into another cesspool of yes-men and NPCs
I was permabanned from the Reddit KiA2 after amassing like 3 or 4 years of postings and being consistent in my favorably received opinions.
I don't even remember the BS reason. Insulting leftists and praising the right and Libertarianism, I suppose.
