This shit is so annoying, even the “communist” subs are filled with ultras and liberals. They’re all so chronically online and just obnoxious
I’m getting more involved with FRSO shit anyways, so I’ll have less time to spend on there. Never was useful anyways.
Fuck these idiots
Use it as a tool only. Hobbies, DIY and the like. It’s no good for real discussion. They have an Atlantic Council member on their board. It’s not a real place, just hordes of automatons with false consciousnesses. You might aswell walk into a stadium of rival sports fans and start arguing with them about how their club sucks. You’re just going to annoy yourself.
I tried using it only as a tool for hobbies, but anti-communism infects damn near everything. Couldn’t go a week without some dumbass take about China randomly worming its way into just about anything. Glad I quit.
Exactly bro tell me why I am on a shitposting subreddit and getting “XI JINPING AFTER KILLING 100 THOUSAND BABIES” and it’s a picture of Walter white or something like dude I’m just trying to laugh not be inundated with dumbass westoid propaganda
I still have mine for following sports and some games stuff but yeah it’s impossible to escape. Guess it’s by design
I notice the shit everywhere. From kids and family shows to churches, social media, and education, regardless of state. They really do introduce it and hammer it in from the earliest opportunity.
yea every redditor should not exist
I left during the mass exodus, I miss very little. I recommend anyone divest themselves.
There were a couple small niche subs (like some of the hospitality subs I participated in or the dyson sphere program sub) I miss, but not enough to wade through the cesspool. There is about a 60% chance that any thread on that site, regardless of the original subject matter, will devolve to “Russia bad” or “China bad”. Sprinkling of “Kim bad” if they find a way to discuss world leaders.
The_Leftorium was my favorite sub, half-dunks half-history, and legit broke down theory faster using arcane Simpsons memes than any ELI5 you could create. All of the mods got banned by Reddit, and the only one to survive the purge is the most milquetoast lib that yesterday he started deleting critical comments about Biden on a post that said nothing but TRUMP IS THE WORST PRESIDENT. Cesspool status confirmed.
Deleted my old account and made a new one with the rule of not joining any remotely political or country related sub. It’s a good enough side for hobby subs which is why I went to Reddit in the first place. Much better experience.
Deleting it is fine too of course.
Even the hobbyist subs will find a way to sneak in some “china bad”, but it is at least greatly reduced most of the time. Definitely avoid any of the bigger umbrella communities (i.e don’t join general gaming subs, join specific game subs. Same for most media)
I’m currently on my 2nd temp ban from Reddit for supporting Palestine lol
I’m on my 6th accouft perm-banned for death threats/ban evasion/hate speech for… not sure what exactly lmao on /worldnews on 7 October, coincidentally
