r/TrueOffMyChest - I used to teach in a black inner city school. Their issues are their own fault and I’m tired of pretending otherwise.

Can't be talking about black culture, otherwise the wrong people might be correctly blamed.

From the post: "And again, couldn’t do anything about it because the school cop told me, along with the principal, it’s just their culture."

Sounds to me like the school cop and the principal are the racists here, not the teacher/OP for calling it out.

r/raisedbynarcissists is a weird sub, since sometimes you get stories from people who are victims of extreme abuse, and then the rest of the time it's kids complaining they got their phones taken away and you're supposed to pretend those are the same things. And then you get posts like whatever this is:

one time I went from a legit sub to subreddit simulator while being too tired to look at the title and convinced myself I might be having a stroke.

Quoting this because something of the sort happened and I stumbled upon it now. r/redditmoment, a subreddit made to mock how redditors act was taken over yesterday by Merari01, who sneaked into the mod team, removed every single old mod and added the usual reddit powermods (with everyone's favorite, Bardfinn) in their place to make the "toxic" sub into a "wholesome subreddit about the things people like about the website".

It was such a transparent power grab they half-assedly put out an "apology" and brought back some of the older mods, without removing a single one of the new powermods that were put in place.

reddit can improve a bit just by imposing on maximum number of subreddits that a user can mod

Sure, but the admins approve of what these people do so don't expect anything to happen.

They already do that. Creating alts on Reddit isn't forbidden unless you're using them for ban evasions and such, but considering all the power mods do with the blessings of the admins nothing will ever come out of it even when they get caught. And speaking of the powermods and admins conspiring...

r/TrueRedditMoment, a sub created because r/RedditMoment was taken over, got banned 12 hours ago because it broke Reddit's rules against "creating or repurposing a sub to reconstitute or serve the same objective as a previously banned or quarantined subreddit".

The bold part is a little important because r/RedditMoment is currently public and was not banned nor quarantined at any moment. Really activates one's almonds, this one. 🤔

The pedophile Bardfinn is still a moderator of r/redditmoment. It is becoming more evident that this is not going to change.

There's a simple explanation - some time ago, Reddit introduced a new system which essentially autobans any new sub that gets populated overwhelming by accounts that have been active in previously banned subs. The stated ban reason is always the same line about repurposing you posted, that's how you'll easily spot subs banned in this manner.

I believe, or I've heard anyway, that this was put in place when the original Opie and Anthony sub got banned and its members kept creating offshoots and jumping from sub to sub, and were apparently fairly heavy on "harassment", so admins came up with a solution that's now applied universally.

I thought it started with the Million Dollar Extreme subs.

Yeah I'm pretty sure Based Reddit mostly started with the MDE subs.

When those subs were originally founded back around the time of World Peace, especially the original sub that was moderated by Sam Hyde himself, they became pretty much /pol/-lites as soon as they were established and general AuthRight (well initially LibRight and AuthRights were in harmony but with the recent 'trad' trend ever since 2019 its now solely AuthRight) themed shitposting and discussion ensued that wasn't entirely related to MDE.

If I recalled they also did a lot of brigading and trolling of other subs although it was generally 'harmless' stuff like brigading the Soylent subreddit or something. Of course between that and their edgy posts, Reddit inevitably banned the original MDE sub and it caused a lot of back-and-fourth where new MDE subs were made but were taken down as soon as they were made, eventually culminating with the mods of r/CringeAnarchy allowing the MDE refugees to stay in and eventually that got banned in early 2019, where around that time in mid 2019 r/ZoomerRight, r/ConsumeProduct and r/Coomer were founded and became the new hub those of Based Reddit but now only r/ConsumeProduct stands. r/CleanLivingKings is also around but thats less of a shitposting and political discussion sub than it is a weird mix of /fit/ and /pol/.

In all honesty, I think if Reddit didn't want Based Reddit to be such a 'problem' they shouldn't have banned the original MDE sub and just kept it as-is as their containment sub. If Moot banned /new/ instead of converting it to /pol/, it probably would've had an influx of more-than-usual edgy posts all over the website and would've been an even bigger problem than before.

The two things in reddit that are really depressing are the severely mentally ill like this girl and actual retards, like that guy a while back who was an actual retard with problems holding a job and a whole lot of anger. He was just smart enough to sense all the things in life he would miss out on because he was a tard. It's very sad when it's genuine.

They don't want containment subs, they want easily marketed metrics of Nice and Approved users and shill farms. They've been gunning for The_Donald since day one, and have the useful idiots in AHS chasing Based Reddit around.

I can't understand how the people at /r/raisedbynarcissists can read those posts and not see it for what it is, a crazy person ranting in to the void. Then again that sub discourages people even questioning things a little bit. They're doing way more harm then good.

Jumping ship under the guise of BLM:

1.) He's going to be selling stock soon. I doubt Reddit stock is going up anytime soon.
2.) This probably has more to do with Trump and Section 230 + current admin problems.
3.) That money will likely never show up in Kaepernick's account once the hubbub dies down.
4.) I really hope they get the most militant BLM person onboard who can then purge the rest of the Reddit admin and institute BLM rule over Reddit, just for laffs.

AH HA HA HA HA!
Calling it now, they're gonna do an Ellen Pao round two.
  1. Alexis steps down
  2. Someone is brought in to replace him, preferably someone who can get reddit some minority-representation cred
  3. New person makes changes as directed by the board/shareholders
  4. Changes are unpopular with reddit users, site gets pushback
  5. New person is fired/steps down
  6. Alexis swoops in to be the returning hero a la King Richard the Lionheart
