Reddit’s too cheap to moderate subs themselves—unless it’s unpaid labor from their own loser employees.

The site would actually be usable if they didn’t just give total control to the first no-lifer who squats on a subreddit and their little clique of losers. Reddit loves throwing around the word “democratize” when it’s an excuse to screw people over, but never when it comes to moderator privileges.

Unironically, AI would do a better job. At least AI can be reasoned with and will admit when it’s wrong if you bring a solid argument.A mod will perma ban you for daring to hurt his ego .

Well, gay and women's rights are always under attack. If your politics does not include that, it means you're ok with government taking away our rights as lesbians. Furthermore, politics extends far beyond what government/politicians do. Everything Ideology touches turns political.

Lesbians who are completely and totally unaffected by Roe v Wade and troons being banned from the military somehow complaining about losing their rights. Literally the least affected gay people lol.

You know, sometimes technological unemployment is good for society and the internet as a whole. Once AI replaces reddit mods, I hope they at least get a generous severance package:

AI would eventually just agree with whoever is talking to it. Everyone who makes an appeal and talks to the model in mod mail long enough would just win and be reinstated. You'd have a useless ban system that way.

We gotta put him down boys...

Someone a few pages earlier complained that this thread sucks because half of its regulars probably have Reddit accounts. I didn't want to believe him. Most of all I didn't want to believe some of my faves could be... not only Redditors... but Reddit Mods...

Look I'm not going to pretend I don't have a reddit account to look cool on Kiwifarms. That's ridiculous. Threads like this only work because we're posting shit we see out in the wild and making fun of it. You'd have to be some kind of a psycho to do all this and not even have a frame of reference.

I don't have a Reddit account and yet know far enough of the lunacy over there, as nearly all Google searches nowadays lead back to Reddit. I have no idea why I would ever make an account there, why would I desire to post anything there.

The state already wants me dead and raped because I'm white, I'm a man, I'm not on welfare, I pay into the tax system, I'm not a foreigner, I don't commit petty crimes, and I am generally an overall contributor to society.

I don't really give a shit if the state had a binder somewhere saying I eat twinks. We're beyond that being a concern to the pernicious state religion of burning white girls on the altar of cuckoldry and rape.

Bit of a long post but a vegan tried discussing the college adopting a vegan diet and doesn't go well.

Veganism recently became a hot-button issue at my leftist college, and I’m struggling not to feel demoralized

self.vegan
submitted 1 day ago * by LiviasFigs
UPDATE: someone just wrote a response to the op-ed. It’s about what you’d expect, but the part that really got me was that they claimed many students would experience “hunger and emotional discomfort” from being vegan. Please, won’t someone think of the meat-eaters’ emotional discomfort? 🥺🎻
I attend a very small, very leftist liberal arts college. Many of the students here are politically involved, many of them come from privileged backgrounds, and we’re pretty much the right-wing stereotype of a “woke” campus. There’s always some sort of political event going on, or some intense political discussion.
Recently, a friend of mine wrote an op-ed in support of the college going vegan. Now, with our college administration, this was never going to happen. But his piece was more about the need for us to think more deeply about the moral choices we make with our diets. The blowback was intense, more so than I’d ever anticipated. There was a lot of mockery, but it was the sheer vitriol that bothered me more. The op-ed was the subject of heavy discussion on our anonymous forum board, and I got called a prissy narcissist for supporting veganism, along with pretty much unanimous dismissal of every pro-vegan point I brought up.
What shocked me most, though, were the in-person interactions I had with other passionately leftist students. I’m currently taking a course that deals with capitalism and its alternatives, and in a recent class, we discussed climate change. I brought up veganism and the op-ed (not in a ‘preachy’ way, but to point to another form of climate activism we hadn’t mentioned yet), and was told that veganism was elitist and pointless. Now, most of the what we discuss in that course is as pie-in-the-sky as it gets, and that’s kind of the point of the class. But why are other ‘solutions’ viable for discussion and veganism isn’t?
None of this changes my mind about veganism, obviously. But I guess what I’m dealing with is an overwhelming feeling of confusion. How can such intelligent, dedicated, empathetic people dismiss animal suffering so resoundingly? How can they joke about how little they care about it? How can they refuse to consider the mere possibility of consuming less meat? And if this is the reaction from the so-called “far-left,” what about the reactions of everyone else?
All of this is unfocused venting, and I’m sorry. But I guess I just feel deeply, deeply disappointed in the responses of people I admired and respected, and I feel deeply, deeply sad. I feel like most people are only willing to give lip-service to leftist positions when those positions don’t require that they change their lifestyle or do any actual work.
Do you have any advice for dealing with these feelings? Or points of rebuttal to those who dismiss the harms of the agro-industrial complex on people and animals alike? How do you productively deal with encountering this kind of cognitive dissonance?
EDIT: some are asking for examples. I have a lot of screenshots, but I’ve realized that I can’t add photos here. I made a forum post in support of the op-ed after seeing a lot of criticism, which someone then reposted to criticize for elitism. Because your post/comment is deleted once it’s downvoted enough times, most of what I wrote is gone. But (for the portion I have saved via screenshot) it started with, “I'm the OP, and you're making a lot of assumptions about vegans. Veganism means harm reduction for animals AND people, many of whom are suffering because of factory farming's effects on health, climate, and working structures.”
Their response(s):
“jfc holy superiority complex i'm not making a lot of assumptions about vegans, im speaking from personal experience from talking to vegans, interacting with them online, and hell if you took two seconds to look it up online i'm sure you would find the exact same criticisms about vegans. YOU are making the mega assumption that all vegans actually practice what they preach and are interested in the people side of harm reduction at all. … i think the biggest issue people have with vegans is the virtue signaling, "oh if you eat meat you're automatically a bad person." but i bet all vegans aren't preserving the life of bugs they find in their homes, nor understand the nuance that people living pay check to pay check literally cannot afford to go vegan, but they rather those people starve for the sake of morality instead of actually targeting the capitalist system that is responsible for all of these avenues of harm. … i genuinely have never once seen a vegan advocate for anything beyond telling people they are evil and should feel guilty and awful for hurting the poor innocent animals kinda of like yourself in the last line of your self grandiose statement, where it's ironic that you criticized me for making “assumptions" when you did the virtue signaling vegan thing while knowing absolutely jack all about positionality and socioeconomic status. you should at least be honest with yourself that you are an out of touch, prissy little narcissistic person that can't fathom any stance outside of your narrow worldview because you care more about feeling good about yourself and your minuscule impact on the Animal-Industrial complex since you think targeting individuals is more important than addressing the billions of dollars from US govt subsidies that makes AIC even possible. if you think caring about people is a moral failing then idgaf 😀 … circle back to the point of virtue signaling and my original comment about omnivores and deficiencies sweetie this is just becoming a very circular argument where you prove literally every assumption about vegans that you are so adamantly against. i don't eat dining hall food because it's disgusting, but i'm not going to look at down on everyone who doesn't want to eat fucking lettuce and carrots all day everyday (because you are fucking lying if you say there is a healthy variety of options) … anygays i'm quite bored of you and your uninspired and unoriginal commentary. have the day you deserve”

And the many comments are disgusted at their fellow leftist marxist not taking veganism seriously:

Unfortunately veganism is still considered pretty fringe, even among people you'd think would naturally gravitate toward it, for obvious reasons. However, most people are strongly averse to confronting their own shortcomings. That, tied with the caricature of the stereotypical preachy, better than thou vegan image created by the meat industry and other participating right wing ideologues, has kept veganism on the fringe of society. Just because people are politically left doesn't mean they aren't also susceptible to right wing propaganda.
However, veganism has grown over time, and even vegetarianism and pescatarianism. Sure the latter two are still very harmful to animals, but it shows that progress is being made. So keep strong.

[–]mayflowers5- vegan 5+ years 140 points 1 day ago
I know many liberals who get very butt hurt when I talk about veganism. They’re also big animal rights activists. The only conclusion I can come to is that they feel so guilty and gross that they won’t give up eating meat and turn that guilt into an argument and whataboutisms.

mryauch- veganarchist 0 points 19 hours ago
Veganism isn't about your feelings, thoughts or beliefs. It's about your action. Your choice.
Not all vegans feel guilty. Some have been vegan their whole lives and simply find it logical.
On the flip side, some people can go vegan without feeling specifically guilty. Others can feel guilty before going vegan. That feeling may be the catalyst that drives them to look closer at the effects of their actions, and eventually change their actions. Some people will fail to have self awareness, and though they feel guilty, their sense of self preservation, peer pressure, and convenience will win out.
Your proclamation lacks nuance and you seem to severely misunderstand how humans work. Our brains, hormones, and feelings are wildly illogical at times. We can contradict ourselves it turns out.

[–]CrestedMacaw 0 points 14 hours ago
I strongly believe that no non-vegan person feels guilty for eating food.

[–]Luinger- vegan 10+ years 1 point 13 hours ago
Then you are just wrong

[–]CrestedMacaw -1 points 13 hours ago
I don't think so - but that's just a matter of opinion.

[–]Luinger- vegan 10+ years 3 points 13 hours ago
You're essentially saying you can read other peoples minds. It's a bizarre claim to make

[–]CrestedMacaw -2 points 13 hours ago
This isn't a matter of reading minds. If you felt guilty for eating meat, you wouldn't eat meat. Therefore you would be vegan.

[–]mryauch- veganarchist 3 points 12 hours ago
Why do you believe people don't do things that make them feel guilty? There are all sorts of behaviors that prove this incorrect. Psychologists have made entire careers from this.
Guilt is a feeling. You can choose to take an action that aligns with that feeling or conflicts with it. It's called free will. You can feel guilt over an action, but believe the action must be done for the greater good. You have WAY too much faith in humans being consistent to think such simple logic as "guilt = feel bad, human avoid feel bad, thus human stop behavior that causes guilt" actually matters.
There are people that don't like how animals are treated in animal ag, but due to industry propaganda believe they have no choice. They think they need animal products to be healthy, so they make a choice that continues to make them feel guilty (when they think about it).

[–]Trained_Mushroom 3 points 12 hours ago
If you felt guilty for eating meat, you wouldn't eat meat.
This is not just wrong but self-evidently wrong. Even thinking this could be true is incredibly stupid.

[–]CrestedMacaw 0 points 6 hours ago
Yet it's true.

[–]Trained_Mushroom 1 point 6 hours ago
Except it's not and you are literally just making shit up.




Valuable-Run2129 -1 points 21 hours ago
The current prevalent liberal ideology is incompatible with veganism. They want 8 billion humans to live like they live without sacrificing their preferences.
It’s sad to say, but I prefer conservatives because at least they are ok with inequality and not lifting up the rest of the population to this insane level of animal consumption.

winggar- vegan activist 565 points 1 day ago
Yeah I just got a pretty similar response to talking about veganism in r/leftism. I think people really struggle with the fact that veganism is the one social movement that requires you to actually do something instead of just have the right opinions.
Edit: environmentalism used to be similar before it devolved into blaming corporations for producing the products that the people complaining want to buy. Kudos to any of y'all still boycotting products that are bad for the environment.


Immediate-Daikon-572 185 points 1 day ago
A bit ironic how they say veganism is 'elite' when some of your colleague come from a privileged background. If you can do it but don't want because 'in X country there are no resources available' you just don't want to do it and are making up an excuse - that's fine but don't lie. Like why would I care what I eat in an isolated island if I am not there right now?? I think the irony of the left being so 'open-minded' and then refuse veganism because whatever is not being talked enough. This makes my blood boil I am sorry. I know it's hard but you just have to keep fighting! And keep showing them your values and the reality of it. And thank you for what you do:)

[–]LiviasFigs 173 points 1 day ago
It’s funny, because a lot of the responses to the op-ed were “veganism isn’t feasible in X country,” which, like, okay, but we’re talking about this college in this country… so what’s the relevance? It’s really annoying.

[–]Ning_Yu 110 points 1 day ago
It also ridicolous cause, unless you're an Inuit or something, the poor people diets has always been grains and legumes and vegetables, certainly not meat and such. But suddenly they wanna make it seem like it's the other way around, pretty much climbing mirrors to make excuse not to take personal accountability.

[–]MBEver74 51 points 1 day ago
100%! Like - I don’t think it’s good that Inuit people kill whales & seals - but I’m not about to start a hunt sabotage in the arctic LOL. Let them do what they do. But I sure as hell am going to criticize Chaz, Olivia & Ronin for grabbing a factory farmed burger after their anti-genocide feel good protest in NYC. LOL

[–]Willing_Day_2010 31 points 1 day ago
It especially gets me when it’s at a feminist/women’s right/pro choice related. Like why are you supporting industries that involve the rape and forced impregnation of females?l (of other species)?

[–]sadvegankitty 7 points 22 hours ago
Omg the intersectionality of veganism and feminism when I read about it just stunned me to my core. Still to this day I can’t believe how powerful it is but wow you try and say that to a non vegan woman and they just can’t handle it.


Marxist infighting never gets old.

What the hell happened to vegetarianism? It used to be that there would be many vegetarians for every vegan but now anyone who doesn't eat meat is automatically a vegan who won't touch dairy, fish, or anything else.

It's still around as a popular diet, ironically enough vegans hate them too.

They're still around, they just don't force their beliefs in your face like vegans do, that's why you don't notice them.

I don't know if it was because I was younger or because of some societal shift but I never even heard of veganism until several years after I was very familiar with vegetarianism. Everybody who avoided meat was considered a vegetarian. Then a few vegans started popping up and now its vegetarianism you hardly hear about anymore.

Always funny to see the online vegan groups applying these tactics from other progressive causes without realising they only work with generous institutional support. Yeah turns out that, normally, if you're really rude and act with undeserved condescension and insinuate any deviation from your morals is evil itself, everyone laughs at you. Not enough vegan elites in media and education to make it work it seems!

This whole r/art drama is a microcosm of everything wrong with Reddit. One power tripping asshole issues 4,000 bans and only a tiny fraction of them are for actual rule violations. And thats just the art sub. One can only imagine the ratio of arbitrary bans to legitimate ones on the more political subs.

Every time the subject of hamfisted reddit moderation comes up, I always think of that one subreddit that's about the last photos of people when they were alive. Morbid, but it's mostly just pictures of people's loved ones or historical figures.

The hamfisted part comes in the fact that one of the rules is "no animals", which a rational person would interpret as the entire subreddit being flooded with people moping over their dead pets if it weren't for that rule. Problem is, reddit moderators are not rational, so they ban people for posting photos with any animals in them at all, even when they're not even the fucking subject of the photo. Like, what the fuck is the message here? "Shouldn't have died right after holding that dog"?

I have an account so I can save my favorite JAV subs. I've said it before, and maybe some won't believe it, but you can post on reddit without being a redditor. Being a redditor basically just means you're an insane leftist who can't control yourself.
