reddit General

One thing that I don't get is why have reddit admins picked now of all times to grow a spine and defy the mods? From what I understand reddit admins have usually gave in at every opportunity and given the mods whatever they want, and have had little-to-no issue banning wrongthink subs left and right the last few years. It seems like normally they would have banned it and be done with it.

Not even 12 hours and this post has already aged like milk. Reddit admins lived up to my expectations

God I really thought the NPC meme was an exagerration, but after hopping on an alt to engage in the most basic of discussion on that announcement post, I see it's true. Suggesting that "we should just keep social distancing forever, even if it only saves one life it's worth it" is not an "objective scientific fact" is met with complete non-sequiturs. It's as if they're a bot scanning for keywords and just vomit up canned responses that don't relate to anything actually being said.

Reddit is the worst site in the internet, so I love seeing it destroy itself. I can’t wait to see how this shitshow continues to progress

what other methods of getting rid of poor people can I use

Go to poor neighbourhoods and dig a really big hole. Cover the top with palm fronds and banana leaves after filling the pit with billions of dollars in cash

I'm always curious how leftists know that "the right to bear arms shall not be infringed" was never intended to be applied to modern weapons but the founders cemented modern abortion rights in the 1800s using language that doesn't mention anything close to that idea.

If "arms" doesn't mean modern guns, "papers...and effects" doesn't mean files and emails.

"The press" applies exclusively to printed media made using technology available in the 1790s.

Get fucked, CNN.

 

[NOT THE BEEEEES!]

Ideally now that NNN is banned the admins will turn their attention to all the troublemaking moderators.

Imagine the rending of garments and gnashing of teeth that would occur if, after such a glorious victory, they all got permabanned for their trouble.

Why would they, though? They’ve already caved to their demands. If they were going to crack down on mod temper tantrums, they’d have already done so.

i don’t really give a shit that NNN got shut down, I’m just disappointed that the reddit diaperfurs’ shitty power-grab worked out in their favor. Not surprised, just disappointed.

at least it was entertaining to watch for a bit.

I remember the Ivermectin sub started last summer. It was a sub for scientific studies and trials on how Ivermectin might treat COVID and testimonials of people who suffered from COVID and felt their symptoms improve after taking Ivermectin. It was trying to help people find a prophylactic without a vaccine and a treatment for people with lingering symptoms. Then apparently shitlibs filled it with horse porn and brigaded it for weeks on end. I'm so tired of having to live with these people.

Don't you get it? We absolutely must give money to Big Pharma who are the Good Guys!

I don't know which outcome I would've preferred. If the admins de-modded everyone involved, restored the subs and told the jannies to cry about it, that would've been hilarious. But since this sorry excuse for a strike actually worked, the jannies are gonna keep doing it whenever they get told no. Again and again and again. And it'll never stop being funny. This was just a win/win from the get go.

That’s exactly what it is, well said. They don’t actually have discussions. There’s no curiosity, no give and take, no benefit of the doubt for the sake of having a fun and interesting conversation. If they identify you as a potential wrongthinker, anything you say will be interpreted in the least charitable way possible. Where’s the fucking fun in that? It’s a miserable and pathetic way to engage with other people (assuming they are actual people in the first place). It’s not really about political alignment for me either, it’s about intellectual arrogance and lack of curiosity.

I notice this type of thing irl as well to a lesser extent. People will speak in their own voice but with someone else’s words coming out. Repeating word-for-word rhetoric from the news without even realizing what they’re doing. Maybe we all do it and just don’t notice.

Personally, I like watching reddit become the monster it tried to kill. Those rainbow troons legitimately think they are in the majority. They aren't. Even Jim Jones knew better than to drink the Flavor-Aid. A true cult leader finds his honor in a bullet.

Those rainbow troons legitimately think they are in the majority.

Even worse, they think they're in the majority AND simultaneously that they're perpetually subjugated by an irredeemably sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic society.

They bounce back and forth between the two mutually exclusive worldviews without missing a beat. The world has whatever characteristics make them feel justified at any given moment.

How long until reddit mods communities band together to demand the banning of anti-abortion subreddits to prevent abortion misinformation from spreading?

 

[AfghanBlue]

This whole Texas abortion issue is great because it screws over lefties and righties. Lefties get less abortions so they will seethe and seethe. Righties will now have to deal with Tyrone and Cletus having more kids since they cant afford taking a trip across state lines to fix their mistakes.

abortions for some, miniature american flags for others

 

[Bunny Tracks]

Part of me thinks Texas is gonna cave just like the reddit admins did as soon as major corporations, sports teams, and all that other shit start pulling out of it.

Keep in mind, it's never about feelings with these people. It's only about money and power.

The moment their wallets starts taking a hit, and they think that their powerbase has just the slightest chance of toppling, they're gonna backpedal.

Good, because if you care about demographics at all, banning abortion is a fucking horrible idea.

 

[LurkTrawl]

Caught up on the thread. I think this firmly places Reddit, perhaps not on the same tracks, but towards the same destination as SomethingAwful. Can't wait to see u/Spez having to explain that he beat his wife because muh sweaty feet or some shit.

Every single user of the Kiwi Forums is a nigger. More importantly, they're my nigger.

Nah. If they were concerned about that they probably wouldn't have done anything to begin with. This whole scenario was created with the intention of making Roe V Wade irrelevant, and it worked. Your average mainstream conservative is a degenerate nihilist who's entire "ideology" revolves around exploiting their white trash base for votes while clandestinely fucking them in the ass economically, but let's not pretend a lot of these parasites don't actually believe their own bullshit. Especially since the tea party nonsense and even more so since Trump normalized being a complete fucking lunatic with no shame.

No, they actually think god wants this. Though it kind of makes me laugh because if the biblical god was real America would have been turned into a smoldering crater multiple times over by now.
