I wish there was a board where people would have the ideology of the left but without bring so triggered by anything.
Just no concept of humor as a coping mechanism.
It seems like you are getting either one extreme or the other. I’d be fine with no extremism on either political side and more rational moderation.
rational moderation is a pipedream
I got banned from unpopular opinions and a bunch of other communities on dbzer0 for activity not on that community. We’re slowly turning into Reddit
¯\_(ツ)_/¯DBZero(and Blahaj) have skin so thin that a bible page across the arm causes bloodletting.
I’m surprised the owners don’t divvy out ban quotas per month. Half of the users they ban aren’t even conservatives, who just had logical misunderstandings with an admin one day; wannabe couch revolutionaries looking for targets in the absence of anything real to do.
The problem is that 4chan is too degenerate and reddit is too, well… reddit. Unfortunately Lemmy is far from perfect as well.
Lemmy is just the right amount of degenerate.
I disagree, on one hand people are really easily offended and on the other you have blatant open pedophilia among the anime communities and people calling for physical violence. It might be “just right” if you agree with the majority of people here. If your views are more moderate and nuanced, not so much. Context and intent does not seem to matter here.
Well, it’s a mixed bag. There are those who want to house the homeless, and there are those who want to house the homeless in tents made of landlord skins.
Reddit is populated by Bill Maher flavored liberals, 4chan is populated by Asmondgold flavored cockroaches, Tildes is populated by approximately seven users (but they’re all pretty cool), and Lemmy users are smart with tech and stupid with everything else
I’d like a George Carlin / Bill Burr with some Carl Sagan as balance flavored community, please.
Yeah boo reddit.
I hate how much over reach the mods have. Reddit doesn’t want to pay them so they let them have absolute power in their subs and thousands of people are punished because the mods wife cheated on him with his brother and he’s having a bad week.
I was banned from the whole site because a mod got mad that I reported someone for abusive behavior that said mod agreed with.
I got banned because I said “1 like = 1 wank” in r/entertainment about a pornstar that had died. I thought it would be fitting but I guess I was wrong.
What is wrong with women with cocks? I find them very hot.
Anon is a futa hater
“Everywhere I go smells like shit.”
Stalinist approach
Capitalist prole looking at a private media institution managed by unpaid laborers intent on maximizing profits for a gaggle of overpaid administrative flaks and their indolent shareholders: “God damn, this is just when the Russian guy ran a Communist newspaper.”
Nevermind that these people think women can have dicks
Anyway, here’s why Reddit is broke. Too. Many. Trans-Friendly. Leftists. Amirite, folks?
I’ve found some of the more shit post focused communities to actually be useful (or at least I did back when i still used Reddit).
PrisonHooch had more helpful advice and recommendations than HomeBrewing; PoliticalCompassMemes actually allowed space for Leftists to debate the Far-Right; Cremposting was where you went to discuss your tinfoil hat theory’s on the works of Brandon Sanderson; etc. (I know there was a dozen or so of these I used to lean into, but those are the three that immediately come to mind).
2westerneurope4u unironically has some of the most important and honest discussions among Europeans, because people don’t need to worry that much about what they are writing. They have mastered less moderation, without becoming a hate filled cesspool.
Don’t suppose they have a fediverse equivalent space?
Asking about it was literally my first post on here. It would probably be against the rules, because a big part of it is making fun of national stereotypes and it might look racist, if you didn’t know what’s going on. I recommend checking it out on reddit. I think you’ll quickly realize why it would be a problem here and you also run the risk of people taking it literally and attracting the wrong crowd.
So found the Reddit reposting bot for it at [email protected] (its just a not that reposts thing from Reddit).
[email protected] looks more active. I’ll take a peek at it this weekend.
The fact anon used IPA as an example in the context of “acronyms they had to go look up the meaning of” says a lot about them, ngl.
The tacked on casual transphobia finishes painting the picture of the sorta person they are.
Yeah everyone knows about the IPA
“I was sucking my wife’s cock the other day, and it reminded me of this International Phonetic Alphabet I had recently!”
I’ve had that kind of sex lol.
I was confused when I read the transphobia part, then I remembered this was 4chan and cringed
As AVGN once put it, it’s like choosing the dog shit that is all mushy and wet that has been in the shade all day, vs. the dog shit that has dried out in the sun across the street. Yes, the dried out dog shit is still better to step in, but it is still dog shit.
Fake: anon hates reddit because they have jargon (every language has it)
Gay: women can and do have dicks, gtfo with transphobia
The jargon thing is pretty rich coming from the most jargon-dense place on the internet
I mean… /d/
Had me until the transphobia
It explains some.of the earlier stuff too.
He’s active on right-wing hate subs, so he’s banned from the remaining civilized subs.
Random transphobia in there can fuck right off
Indeed, one thing I love about being trans is that it gives me a radar for if someone is being based or just an asshole.
If I detect transphobia I realize it’s just assholery.
Yeeeeeaaaaah, when I read the bit about narrow talking points being allowed, I knew the author was either going to have a good point about Reddit’s tendency to circlejerk, or be a bigoted piece of shit. Not really shocked it’s the latter.
They’re coming from 4chan. It was obvious how it was going to go just by the format of the post, before reading a single word
Random? That or some other bigoted bullshit was forecast to come from the third sentence.
4th item is most likely referring to r/conservative as well which means they’re also mad they can’t participate in the hate chamber
Eh probably not, I used to get messages all the time saying “Oh you were subscribed to or posted in r/thisbullshit so we went ahead and banned you.” even though I didn’t even remember subscribing to or posting in said subreddit
Also Reddit’s policy is officially that you cannot be banned from one subreddit for something that happened in another. This policy is so god damn ignored, that you’d think it was an officer’s oath to serve and protect.
They really buried the lede with that one, huh.
Perfect description.
