Or the fediverse in general.
I wanted to ask everyone their personal least favorite communities on reddit.
Whic subreddits do you absolutely not (personally of course) want to see recreated as magazines here on kbin, or as fediverse communities in general?
My pet peeve is CMV. I always felt while the idea seemed doable on the surface, the implementation within that particular subreddit with the delta system, the requirement for the top level comments to oppose the OP even if the “view” is an established expert consensus on something like climate change made it impossible to have meaningful conversations.
I haven’t checked if we have a CMV magazine here, but as soon as I see one, I know I’m blocking it.
What is your “instant block” community?
It’s hard for an outsider to separate Chinese people from the Chinese government. I got to see both in my third world country. The people who immigrated were mostly just hard working and didn’t deserve whatever racism was being thrown about. But knowing that your country is almost selling out to the CCP is infuriating. Knowing that your country is nothing more than a political pawn in the Belt and Road initiative is infuriating. But the people? They do nothing wrong.

Oh, absolutely! I’m from an authoritarian third-world country and have personally experienced racism. I am well aware of the actions and ongoing activities of the CCP. I’m perfectly fine with people roasting the CCP or discussing China’s politics in relevant threads. However, racism is where I take issue.
On Reddit, every thread about the things happening in China (or outside of China but related to Chinese people) turns into Sinophobia. Even a thread about floating road over water turns into sinophobia(I’m not sure if I’m using the word correctly lol). Ridiculous don’t you think?
So, I’m just saying that it would be nice if we don’t have that here but that’s highly unlikely since the whole world is against China and Russia right now. And like you said, an average person is pretty racist and cannot separate between CCP and the Chinese people (even the ones who are born outside of China).
I just want to see to see less racism in the world.
Sorry if my thoughts are all over. I find it challenging to express myself clearly, and it’s not something I’m accustomed to. English being my second language doesn’t help.
I thought you expressed yourself very clearly, and your English was perfect.
Haha thank you. I actually used GPT’s help for improving some part of my comment.
Uhhh no? You would be hard pressed to find someone who legitimately conflates every Chinese citizen with the CCP.
