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)…
I still visit a sub for gun owners in my state because eit has the most up to date news and gossip on what's happening in the legislature. Every time the Dems try and push another gun grabber law, sane people will post "this is what you get when you vote for these people".
They are instantly downvoted by fools who are deluding themselves that they're not voting for the very politicians who are trying to destroy their hobby.
That and any opinion, no matter how innocuous (that gun isn't priced well, store X has the best deals in town, etc.) always gets downvoted without any reply that would give you insight as to why.
