It's not just a western problem, it happens in developed Asian countries like Japan as well. Japan doesn't actually have a crazy high suicide rate compared to western countries like most people think, what they do have is a police force that has been trained to classify all but the most obvious murders as suicides to keep the crime rate low (and sometimes even the most obvious). It's an open secret that has been going on for decades.

Yeah it’s interesting. I used to read victim’s rights groups and a lot of people drawn to these groups are families whose children were obviously murdered but lazy cops want to cover it up as a suicide so they can have easy investigations and close cases. Probably happens way more in Japan than here though.

Anyway,
Idk as lame and corporate Reddit has gotten (it was always those things but surely worse since ten years ago) this came up in the algorithm and most of the comments were supportive. Struck me how older Reddit would have had a lot of comments saying that that’s just the price of being in the public eye and she should get over it.

Unfortunately it's still very much there, when similar drama struck the h3h3 podcast, most of the subreddit users considered a married man jerking off to AI porn of his friend's wife to be totally normal and understandable and women, even teenagers in school, should just ignore it because drawing attention to it just makes it worse.

Granted, the average age of posters in that sub skew younger, but it's just a retard replacement as time goes on and new children get internet access.

Why is she checking her own social media? She should have a media person for that. I suppose if her parents were responsible enough to keep her away from her own Twitter account, she wouldn’t be in Hollywood in the first place.

The great thing about reddit was the threaded discussion format. You can still see it at old.reddit.com, for example, take a look at this: https://old.reddit.com/r/kotakuinac...usivity_activists_are_destroying_open_source/

That's so much better than the flat format of almost every other site, including this one. Threads are ...actual threads - people start talking about different things, and those different things are collected in a thread, which you can collapse if you're not interested in what's being said.

Hilariously, reddit managed to fuck. up their only really good feature when the redesigned the site some years ago.

It's been the same way for close to 20 years just with different UI/UX changes. Comments in threads, updoots and downdoots used to appraise and evaluate discussion and shut down whatever doesn't stay consistent with the hivemind. If other sites had Reddit's format, your post would get hidden.

It gets hidden, but people still see it (at least, under the old design). My experience was always that I got a lot more back-and-forth conversation on reddit than on any other site, including this one.

Enough people find the pic below irresistible. They click to expand the conversation, so you still get plenty of eyeballs.

...or at least, it used to be that way. I just checked and in the redesign, they don't show that "28 children" bit, so I'm sure fewer people see downvoted comments these days (and I'm certain that's intentional - literally everything they do is intended to create thought bubbles, to hide dissent, and to push a narrative).

The culture of the site is trash, but the format of old reddit was objectively better than what we have here: 1553 pages and counting of stacked comments.

There are advantages to the type of format Reddit uses and I don't think you're entirely wrong, but I believe it's overall a negative, at least for serious discussions. It makes it too easy to simply ignore certain people or opinions entirely, particularly when combined with the upvote/downvote system that changes the order of threads and posts. With oldschool forum formats like KF's, even if someone is being stupid or annoying or wrong, you can't simply click a button to make them basically disappear from view by pushing them to the bottom of the page. That means you are more likely to respond to them and point out why it is that you believe they are stupid/annoying/wrong, leading to actual discussion, not just echo-chambers.

Another advantage is that this format allows for an organic flow similar to that of real-life conversations. Topics can subtly shift, change entirely, come back, disappear again, the tone of a conversation can go this way or that way, etc. It makes conversations feel less sterile.

Again, not saying you're totally wrong. I could see the Reddit format working better, for example, for simple questions with exact answers. If I wanted to know how to fix some bug in a game, I would rather go into a Reddit thread, look at the top comment which was upvoted exactly because it presents the right solution, and then go about my day, rather than have to wade through 5 pages of posts like "Dunno" or "Anybody know? I'm wondering too" before somebody posts the correct solution. But I think that in many (maybe most) other cases, it doesn't work as well.

Then again, that could also be due to how much larger the userbase of Reddit is/was.

A lot of times it's just going to be a snarky comment, possibly about how ur dum for not having gotten the answer from google or something.

I'm in the habit of asking ChatGPT any question I think it can handle. A better bot than redditors for many purposes.

The vast, vast majority of people are not going to manually click to expand hidden comments. And those few who do will, at best, expand perhaps a couple at most before getting tired of it and moving on.

If the purpose and effect of hiding comments was not working to actually hide comments from being seen en masse, then the feature wouldn't even exist.

Also, don't forget, "if the shrink doesn't validate me then I bully him and get his license suspended and get him fired from any job."

Ever heard of "Lysenkoism?" The tl;dr is that Mendel, who was from a capitalist country, discovered how genes work. The guy Lysenko didn't believe in genes ...and was from a communist country. So Stalin decreed that Lysenko is right and sent anyone who believed Mendel to the gulag.

The redditor's statement is as retarded as saying, "Lysenkoism must be true because otherwise, our Soviet scientists would tell us!"
 
This is a NYT article from about 10 years ago, but I think it's relevant: https://archive.is/RgAX5

tl;dr: studies show that people who associate only with like-minded others (i.e. they get into an "information bubble") tend to drift toward extremist views.

The censorship on Reddit isn't just lame and gay, it's also dangerous. They are literally creating extremists. And here's a warning for everyone else - continuously seek out people who disagree with you. Even if you're certain that you're right, test yourself by talking to the other side.

Here's a quote by CS Lewis that I quite like:

“There is always the danger that those who think alike should gravitate together into ‘coteries’ where they will henceforth encounter opposition only in the emasculated form of rumor that the outsiders say thus and thus. The absent are easily refuted, complacent dogmatism thrives, and differences of opinion are embittered by group hostility. Each group hears not the best, but the worst, that the other groups can say.”​

I'll try making more troon/nigger centric L posts after this one, but I'm still milking the laughs that I'm getting from the depressed faggots at r/vegancirclejerk.

Ever wonder why you see so many "vystopian's" and those of that type are often troons, faggots, or in mental health subs when you go in their post history? It's mainly because that people like this are often neurotic, and usually cave in to ad hominems, and have deep people-pleasing instincts.

Most of the comments are essentially people saying that they were bullied by a vegan family member or browsed depression subs during horrible periods in life, and decided to switch in order to feel morally superior to feel like they need a reason to live.

The reason why they think that this strategy that goes against anything that you could learn about the psychology of changing another's opinion is that they fail to realize that nobody goes vegan by calling them holocaust-supporters unless they are extremely neurotic/suicidal and need something to cling on to to feel superior.

No amount of veganism will stop the AIDS from the needle, nigger.

A quick glance at the previous OP's history show that they literally eat dog food as a snack. Eat the slop, goyim!
1724707711564.png
And of course, other Redditors in the thread chime in to admit that they ate literal dog food as a kid :story:
1724707836866.png

If there's one thing to take away from this post, it's that not only have I officially discovered that most of these communities have high overlap with troons, subreddits like r/196, r/latestagecapatilism, and breadtubers, but that most of these people literally eat actual dog food. Let that sink into your mind before you try arguing with literal dog food eaters.

To end off this post, here are some off the facebook boomer-esque memes that they post, as well as somebody literally commiting suicide for La Animal Resistance.

Instead of writing fantasies about killing meat eaters on Reddit, these people could try writing emails and trying to get laws passed/changed that would give slaughter animals more rights.

Constant Redditing will make you like that. I swear, you step into Reddit thinking it will be a fun forum, and you leave as a transgender/furry/vegan/atheist hard leftist who struggles with drug addiction, lack of motivation, and has a litany of self-diagnosed mental health disorders. Not even Tumblr was this bad.

That's what gets me about these Reddit complaint/activism subs. These people genuinely believe they're bringing about change and are part of a strong activist movement, but all they're doing is becoming unhappy, with their only hobbies being politics and doomposting.
