There is r/meth. A subreddit LITERALLY dedicated to meth, a dangerous addictived substances. And then theres r/GenUsa, subreddit that actually advocates to bomb brown children and supports us imperialism. Reddit quarantined soon-banned r/GenZedong. But not banned r/GenUsa and r/meth.

Srsly fuck reddit

    I see people making posts angry at reddit here quite a bit, so I thought Id share some advice.

    Whenever I get annoyed at reddit I always remind myself: what happens on reddit is ultimately inconsequential to how this whole geopolitical situation concerning socialism and the multipolar world will play out.

    When you hammer that into your head then you’ll feel much better about the stupidity that goes on. The battlefield is not a website full of idiots.

      This. Reddit doesn’t matter in the end. The amount of weird shit that gets posted on Belgian subreddits by right wing lunatics is not a reflection of society at all. You could get in fights over the most trivial shit over there.

      Meanwhile in real life people are much more balanced and willing to listen to my talking points. You have to keep in mind that online social boards often attract a certain type of miserable people who are terminally online.

        You didn’t have to call me out.

        But to be serious: me quitting all forms of social media except some to keep in touch with those I know in real life, and to follow some news, has done a lot in improving my mental health and ridding myself of misanthropy.

          quitting all forms of social media

          Does that include Lemmygrad? On a personal note, I’m trying to reduce my time here a bit. I quit Reddit and Instagram because the people suck and it’s addictive, but I missed the memes. There are sadly not enough memes on here, so I look for them on discord. Both of these are still a little too addictive. I really wish I could have an RSS Instagram feed, but of course Meta sucks and cares about their “intellectual property.”

    Reddit reacts to bad Western press, it’s as simple as that.

    Genzedong is threatening their IPO, /r/GenUSA is not

    like they said so many years ago about some nazi and pedo communities they had “we banned them because they were becoming too inconvenient not because of morality” im paraphrasing i dont remember what they actually said but it was something like that. they dont care as long as advertisers dont care

      That’s basically it. As a federal glow farm, Reddit is essential for pushing propaganda. That becomes difficult if the nazis and pedophiles make themselves too apparent and people start asking questions.

    The MIC profits off off of the forever wars.

    The hospitals funeral homes, CIA and FBI profit of the epidemic of meth and other drugs.

    Supporting AES and peace is too healthy for them to profit off of so we had to go.

    Racist fascists discriminate against demographics and Reddit wants to have all of the minorities on their site for advertizing. Liberal racism is tolerable not not fascist racism.

    the admins are notoriously right wing compared to the general user base (not that the general userbase is socialist but they are normally at least sympathetic to social democratic ideas)

    Breaking Bad reference, but that’s not the worst… There are literal incest, gore and pedophilic subs that are not banned or talked about at all and are still up! Along with all other lib and openly nazi and genocidal ones.
