I'm starting to dislike Reddit (self.CasualConversation)

I_Like_The_SunsetSunny が 投稿

I think I need to stick to certain subs at this point. There's just so much negativity everywhere. I've noticed a trend of women hating, and I hate all the political posts and drama.

DAE get tired of this site?

Personally I feel like the more specific the subreddit is, the better the community. I could never have gotten into shadowrun without the RunnerHub subreddit community and get an interest in hacking without the BlackHat and Hacking subreddit community.

Conversely the more general the subreddit, the more cancerous it is, as we've prob seen in News and gaming subs.

[–]DwellinghamWhen I grow up, I wanna be a flair 79ポイント80ポイント  (19子コメント)

100% agree. The more specific it is, usually the less there is for people to argue about.

[–]StormUnit00 53ポイント54ポイント  (18子コメント)

I think I know why.

Let's take 2 hobbies, to use as examples: Gaming (any kind of videogames, on any platform) and Ornithology. I haven't checked the numbers, but I bet my ass there are more gamers than ornithologists on their respective subs, right?

When there aren't that many people to choose from, people tend to be nicer. They are more interested in helping people become an active member of the community, exchange ideas and experiences, etc.

If there are too many people, everyone is already tired of hearing the same old things over and over again and become bitter.

A good example of a sub going downhill is r/politics. Now it's always had issues, but I return just to see what it's like as a kind of morbid experiment. The entire front page was the same story, just different threads. When a sub gets too big and the mods are able to not keep up or don't have rigorous standards it can become a cesspool fast.

You could always also filter posts out of your subs by using certain keywords rather than unsubscribing.

[–]StormUnit00 19ポイント20ポイント  (8子コメント)

I'm not a fan of political discussions as a whole, so I try to avoid any kind of discussion around it. Not because I think it's useless, but because rarely someone learns something or changes their mind. But I can totally understand your 'morbid experiment' thing. I do that with a few forums I used to visit as well. They went downhill, I left, and sometimes (maybe once or twice a year) I like to visit them for 5 minutes and just say to myself "Jesus Christ, what is this".

[–]undead_tortoise 4ポイント5ポイント  (7子コメント)

Yeah I totally understand what you mean, politics is not everyone's cup of tea. I don't mean to push a topic in this nice space. Another good example is r/gaming & r/truegaming. I usually go to r/neutralpolitics to get my political news/discussion. They are much better modded and recognize the issues subs have when they grow. Gotta find the small sub for the same topic to get that old Reddit feel.

[–]hashtagwindbagyeah buddy 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

/r/truegaming is great for (sometimes unique) discussions, but I find that /r/Gaming4Gamers is a solid gaming subreddit with great moderation and a nicer community overall than (for example) a more generic gaming-related subreddit. It's got discussions as well as news and interesting videos, and you won't see someone posting a thumbnail of the cover of a hugely popular game with the title "Anybody else remember this one?"

[–]LuckMakerEmerald Council represent 2ポイント3ポイント  (3子コメント)

For me /r/truegaming goes a little overboard in their discussions. I am happy with just using /r/Games, as they are essentially what /r/gaming should be. I don't really rely on Reddit for my political news because I would rather just read/watch something and draw my own conclusions. So many comments about anything like that just turn into cancer.

      I don't mean to come off as elitist, but most people are very emotionally reactive.

      Gaming is an activity that encompasses a far broader cross section of society than ornithology.

      In addition, the very activity of gaming is often an emotional one (pretty much every non-FPS game, and even some FPS ones), and is almost always reactive in nature (excepting sandbox games).

      Furthermore, there are human-related politics that exist in the gaming world, which drives emotion and attracts emotional people, because many games have humans in them.

      Ornithology is just birds. There's no controversy, and it also attracts fewer controversial people. It's an activity which is appreciated completely for what it is, and not how it relates to the individual, because it has almost no direct relation to human identity politics (unlike gaming, TV, films, politics, literature, etc.)

      A sub about primarily non-human phenomena (ornithology, gardening, DIY, programming, etc.) will have much less room for controversy, and probably attract less controversial people to begin with, because people who feel stressed are generally less inclined to mobilize large amounts of mental resources to topics that don't directly affect them.

      There was that chat thing reddit did on I think April fools? You could merge rooms and double their size infinitely until people voted to disban. Basically what people found is that the larger their chat rooms got the more cancerous and downright mean it became. I think this hold true for most things.

      The theme of the sub has a lot to do with it too. Subs like GuildWars2 is for a game that has hardly any competitive aspects and little room for elitism. Then you can go to a subreddit like playrust, much smaller but about a game that's all about screwing people over for no reason and the community will be much more hostile.

      everyone blew shit so far beyond any recognizable time line and any coherent story was swallowed up. Not helping things, every post was either

      1. Banned and removed

      Or

      1. So fucking agenda pushing that I stopped reading because I just didn't believe people

      And to be honest I learned fast that I'd rather not deal with that particular online war

      What a shit show that was. You couldn't mention that you wanted better games journalism without someone trying to rope you into fighting for or against Zoe/Anita.

      I made a comment on Facebook IN 2016 about wondering what games journalism would look like if GG never turned into a flame war and a very condescending person immediately came in and gave me her canned response about GG being about this and that and that games journalism is fine. Like my concerns aren't valid because she didn't like GG. I had no involvement in GG from any angle and still got this unwarranted crap like this all the time.

            I agree with this, but it also makes the subs get old after a while, because with many really specific topics, there's only a few things to discuss. Also I like to be introduced to things that are outside of my day to day thoughts as well - I'm not just referring to political/confirmation bias items, it applies to music, hobbies as well.

              [–]frammatt2 145ポイント146ポイント  (30子コメント)

              You know what I find strange? Not the fact that people here complains about the gregarious way (the hivemind) the people on reddit behave, but the fact that in big threads in default subs these rants are always upvoted, like everybody is well aware and tired of being hypocrital, misogynist, or tries to be funny when unable to say something insightful. If everybody is aware of this kind of behaviour, then why it is growing? Is just a false critic in order to obtain karma and feel... different and deep? I find it really sad...

              [–]Raeli 123ポイント124ポイント  (0子コメント)

              I think perhaps it's more that reddit has a really large userbase. It's possible that those people upvoting these sort of sentiments aren't the same people that are also going around doing these things.

              [–]Potato_and_Rainbow 54ポイント55ポイント  (14子コメント)

              That behavior is growing because most redditors AREN'T aware of those problematic behaviors. Just because this thread is upvoted doesn't mean it's the general opinion of reddit.

              Also, in most default subs these types of rants aren't upvoted at all, they're usually if not always downvoted. It's only when the circlejerk reaches its peak and starts being ridiculous do people start voicing out against it, maybe by clicking the upvote button to show support to those rant threads, or those in favor of those opinions become self-aware of their status as circlejerk and refrain from downvoting. Only then does rants like this have upvotes in the default subs with default userbase.

              That's why most opinions that are blatantly racist/sexist are downvoted, that's when the circlejerk becomes self-aware. But generally, reddit's racism/sexism/unfunniness are subtle and permeate throughout the site.

              [–]frammatt2 5ポイント6ポイント  (8子コメント)

              You make a good point, but for example you will always see on askreddit comments about that there is no fact-checking, or how people make the same question over and over, how misogynist certain people are... Comments that in a way or another are about the flaws of the system, and sometimes they are gilded and liked (i was seeing one with circa 2000 likes a hour ago). You are right by saying that many are new or cretins that don't understand that this behaviour is negative and doesn't bring anything new to the community but i don't understand, if the hivemind is so strong, how this type of comments gets so many likes. Is this a sort of narcissism, so when you like a comment that says that reddits has its problems you are automatically better than the others? Sorry for the english

              [–]Potato_and_Rainbow 4ポイント5ポイント  (7子コメント)

              The comments about fact-checking and making the same question again and again don't actually go against the hivemind, they're general and vague and can be applied to anything. The comments about sexism against women are actually specific and goes against the hivemind but I rarely see comments about how mysogynistic certain people are tbh I'm not sure where you're seeing it so much.

              And remember, you see those comments because they're upvoted. You may have missed thousands of comments like that because they're downvoted to hell.

              Comments that in a way or another are about the flaws of the system, and sometimes they are gilded and liked (i was seeing one with circa 2000 likes a hour ago)

              What's the comment you're talking about? Because a comment of mine criticizing Reddit just reached 2000 upvotes and gilded an hour ago in Askreddit so just curious. :3

              [–]frammatt2 1ポイント2ポイント  (6子コメント)

              Well, maybe you are right but I still view this kind of comments like a sort of criticism about certain topics, because I view this kind of opinion (opionions that who writes them probably is sincere) a way for others to feel superior. For example: one the most frequent thread on askreddit is "what is your unpopular opinion?" and then hell is unleashed with comments that are always the same old veiled racism and with a strong hivemind attitude. Doesn't the medium redditor like to feel different? Isn't this love for feeling different and intelligent the motivation of many people that in one way encourage criticism and in the other way behave like hypocrites, following the hivemind?

              The comment? I don't remember which was but it was right and well written, it was in the thread about disliked facts so... probably yours!

              [–]SpacedOutKarmanaut 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

              Also, many people just don't comment or if they do they don't vote at all. Sometimes I'll post something and get a bunch of comments, but no upvotes. It's like... you enjoy what I posted, but didn't vote for it? ;_;

              That said, some of the more agenda-pushing types who "call it like they see it," so to speak, are more likely to vote and participate because they're passionate about, I dunno, hating fat people, or feminists, or fighting "whataboutism" and "social justice warriors."

                Negative posts are highly visible, while positive and neutral posts are mostly taken for granted or just lost in the sea of similar positive/neutral posts. It doesn't take very many active trolls to really pollute a community, and trolls tend to attract other trolls, so it tends to be a positive feedback loop.

                The majority of people hate trolls and ignore them. A majority of trolls upvote other troll posts, and they congregate. Only a minority of people bother to downvote negative posts. This means that the trolls are free to control the visibility of their own crap. If a majority of people made a concerted effort to downvote trolls, and mods made a concerted effort to delete the posts outright, the cycle would collapse.

                There was actually a good video from Scishow about this recently that mentions this feedback loop and a study that looks at how to suppress it.

                Most people are looking to react to stuff. They like to feel, regardless of whether that feeling is positive or negative.

                Large reddit subs tend to have a better cross section of "most people", which is why they are often plagued by low grade humor, racism/misogyny, concern trolling, etc.

                Yeah. When I see a serious news breaking topic on a tragedy on /r/news or /r/worldnews, the top comment is usually some lame joke comment that get like 6000 upvotrs and three gold.

                    Step one: unsub from all the defaults. If you really must have the content, do not ever go to the comments in a default sub.

                    And that alone will cure most of the problem. The opt-in, niche subs don't have nearly the same problems.

                              At this point, I feel like the best way to be on Reddit without losing faith in humanity every now and then is to unsubscribe from any default sub. Those are filled with hivemind-guided opinions, and casual misogyny and racism.

                              Never let people's throwaway thoughts ruin your mood. Women hating might be a thing on Reddit, but the opinion of people who post this kind of stuff shouldn't even matter to you. They're simple minded nobodies who noticed that some opinions gain you easy karma, why should it make you sad ?

                              Anyway, you should stick to subs like this one, where people willingly go to be casually nice. That's what Reddit is about. Default subs are the scum of the earth compared to smaller ones.

                              /r/truegaming is alright. It's strictly text based discussion about games, no memes and such. The title does sound a bit snobby, lol.

                              For talking about specific games, their subreddits are hit and miss.

                                r/books isn't bad, but yeah they seem cranky. Then again I read reviews on Goodreads and folks seemed the same way. Maybe readers are just a cranky bunch. Out of my hobbies, reading books and watching an occasional movie are two of the few things I don't have to hear others opinions about. With gaming, music, or some TV shows, I have to get them online, and sometimes the comments are right there. With Viki the comments load as you're watching the drama, but you can turn those off.

                                  I'm still subbed to multiple of the default ones, but I haven't really seen any racism or women hating. When a controversial or critical post does actually come up, it's usually downvoted to hell =o

                                  That is actually the first thing I did when I got a Reddit account. No clue why we have default subs, that is what /r/all should be for.

                                  Could you show me some examples of the misogyny? Being subbed to a few default subs I never particularly noticed any explicit women hating. Maybe because I'm a guy and it doesn't affect me?

                                  This whole thread has yet to provide any examples of said misogyny.

                                  The painful fact of the matter is that feminist journalists declared open season on the gamer identity. Gamers don't care about people's feelings on the internet. Nor do they care about "status". They've been marginalized their whole life. They simply aren't shame-able.

                                  A whole lot of "normies" got caught in the crossfire.

                                  But I feel like this whole thread is hating on opinions that they don't like (as no one has given specific evidence of widespread misogyny).

                                  I mean I know people who think if you are a Trump(I'm not) supporter you are thereby a racist. The dialogue is just as bad on both extremes. It is also election season. Things get dialed up to the max. The rhetoric flows.

                                  Eh, feminist journals aren't attacking "gamer identity", they're critiquing the over-sexualization of female characters in video games and rampant sexism in the gaming community.

                                  Idk, if your identity can't exist without sexualized female characters and a "boys only" mentality, it's not an identity worth defending, IMO.

                                  The misogyny are subtle, they're not exactly hard to pin point and if I pointed it out you would just brush it off. Just because something is an opinion doesn't mean it doesn't carry an intrinsic value on its own, there are a lot of opinions that are outright misogynistic.

                                  But okay, I'll bite. Threads asking for women's opinions in Askreddit are often met with heavily defensive replies while the same isn't true in thread asking for men's. In one thread I saw a while ago, a highly upvoted comment basically said "men beat you up but leave a fish for you to it and survive, women torture you till you die" or something. And the following replies are all but framing how rational men are and irrational women are. There are many more examples, like one of the top comments basically say "I see a lot of women sleep around to get to the top". Oh it's just an observation that's right, but that's the problem: we can't judge an observation as misogynistic. But the fact that they generalize women in the top even though it's based on something you can hardly if ever tell of one person, not too mention "a lot of women" (the whole sleeping around thing) makes me think they have a certain unfavorable view of women and they voice that observation not because they have concerns about ethics in workplace but because they want Reddit to reassure their misogynistic view. You may not think it's misogynistic because of your world view, but I do, and therefore I'm voicing against it.

                                  Spot on. One example given farther down is comments like 'Women are crazy' or other small things like this isnt really an issue if this is the kid of 'rampant' misogyny going about

                                  Maybe there is some small amount of misogyny as there is a small amount of misandry and a small amount of everything. I'm so sick of this 'gender wars' discussion infecting everywhere on the internet it is the basest form of Us vs Them with no clear goal at this point

                                  [–]Potato_and_Rainbow [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

                                  "rampant" means "flourishing or spreading unchecked", the opinions of "women are crazy" are held by a lot of redditors and widely expressed, that is very much rampant misogyny because it's really tiring to just go to a thread and suddenly see a comment generalizing you as irrational bitches and you just get real tired of that.

                                  Reddit and the Internet at large certainly has a lot more misogyny than misandry, a lot more fat hate that thin hate, a lot more racism against black people than white people, a lot more anti-religion than religion. To me, it is an issue. Just feeling like putting my two cents out there.

                                  explicit

                                  That's the problem, it's hard to pinpoint these moments because it's not explicit, it's very subtle and permeate throughout the site.

                                  Read my previous comments if you want some examples, and if you don't think it's sexism then fine.

                                  Ugh. That sub just hates on other subs. It is ironic imo.

                                  Look at the posts. It declares KIA a hate sub. Reading through there is just conjecture and opinion. They go on to use Matt Taylor of the infamous "shirtgate," where he wore a shirt with women on it and use him as an example of a misogynist. The rhetoric is so over the top in there.

                                  This is my opinion: hate is hate. Whether it is justified or not. It is inherently negative and, in my opinion, self defeating.

                                  The way I look at it is that it allows people to "otherize" groups of people. This isn't constructive nor persuasive. It serves one purpose: to point a finger and "hate."

                                  But honestly, I don't really have strong feeling about it and feel that these are great outlets for people to complain. Just not my cup of tea.

                                        I've noticed that too. There was at one point a subreddit about raping women. No idea if it's still around. I don't want to check. There are also many dedicated to bullying people for various reasons, the biggest being for weight.

                                        I stick to a few subreddits. This one is nice. The mods are good and don't put up with jerks.

                                            Yeah the big default subs have tons of misogynists, racists, everything bad under the sun, it's pretty sobering to realize that so much of the current generation is still like that, they just bring it out when they're anonymous now. But the small focused subs are usually great, you just gotta carefully curate your content.

                                            I also think that the type of person who spends a lot of time on the internet tends to be more hateful and unhappy in general, and reddit contains more of these people than most websites. When people say vitriolic things, they are nearly always coming from a place of weakness.

                                            Reddit makes it seem more pervasive than it really is, in my opinion.

                                              It's a serious problem.

When I left I stayed on this account but I still worry about it happening again since I was harassed on one of my old mains by a rabid anti-feminist who took issue with me being an ex-intern for Planned Parenthood. I try to be fearless but it sucks!

                                                I find that people tend to be pretty against /r/feminism due to several reasons (at least some of which are valid), but then they jump to "The subreddit sucks, therefore attacking mods is justified." Because the internet.

                                                I've never really been a mod though, so I can't say much, but it sucks that must have sucked to be harassed for something like that.

                                                I left as a mod without hating it, but I do feel critical of many aspects. That said, we were never outright harassed by feminists, only antis. They would make violent posts (one that jumps to mind is someone describing a rape dungeon, as he called it) and others would just bother us and inconvenience us, like the person who attempted to send us weekly updates on his first gender studies course, which he was taking cause he hates women apparently? Lol. demmian was really good about shutting that shit down though.

                                                If I was unclear, I didn't think it would be the feminists attacking their own mods. It's usually the ideological conflicts.

                                                Still that stuff, while troublesome, kind of pales in comparison to doxxing and stalking, even if it's just threats. I'd prefer the weekly updates on that guy's gender studies course.

                                                Out of curiosity, what aspects were you critical of? I kind of started a second thread with you where I mentioned my experience, but that's basically how I felt after my week there - it felt like an unforgiving echochamber.

                                                  I am honestly a little confused, im not sure ive ever seen any explicit or upvoted woman hating, at least not for the most part. Do you have an example?

                                                  Me neither, neither have I seen much racism at all and I'm black so I'd probably take notice. When I do, it's downvoted into oblivion or an obvious joke.

                                                  Exactly. tbh i see more complaining about racism and sexism than i do, well, racism or sexism.

                                                  I'd recommend not reading front page comment threads on Imgur then. Casual racism/sexism as far as the eye can see. I guess that's what happens when the demographic majority is white teenage boys.

                                                    We have to see things from both sides. Sexism exists for both genders, and when people treat it like a dichotomy rather than a singular problem, the other side is always going to feel like their issues don't matter, or that they're being ignored.

                                                    That's why it can sometimes come across as sexism, for both sides, because they feel like their issues are overshadowed by the other's. That's not to say there aren't genuinely sexist people out there of course.

                                                    Issues that men face, such an emotional repression, under-reported sexual assault, and high incarceration, are a direct result of the patriarchal society feminism wants to dismantle.

                                                    Women can contribute to that patriarchy by reinforcing those structures in small ways (a mother can tell her son not to cry, for instance), but the engine of the patriarchy is fueled by the men in power. The solution is to raise women up to equal positions of power, create a culture in which the "feminine" is not seen as negative, and acknowledge our shared humanity.

                                                    This is what feminism seeks to do.

                                                    How can you take down a system if you don't target the perpetrators and creators of the system and hold them responsible?

                                                        But I have noticed that certain subreddits for specific groups of people hate on other people in the group. It's like some sort of "who is the most whatever" competition going on.

And you can't call people out on it because then it's all 'this isn't a safe place' and scream 'censorship' like god damn banshees. Like believe what you want but this place is so mean sometimes. I honestly hate this site but I can't leave cause I've got nothing better to do.

                                                        Depending on who you run into on reddit, you'll see hatred for men, women, gays, straights, trans people, Sony, Sega, Apple, Fiona Apple, Nintendo, Microsoft, stuffed animals, swamp people, cops, criminals, fireworks, old people, teenagers, babies, parents, atheists, Christians, Muslims, park rangers, and people who don't like the TV shows that they like.

                                                        Oh, and also politicians.

                                                        Best thing to do is just ignore it. Somebody out there (probably several somebodies) hates you, or hates one or more of your beliefs, or hates you for holding one or more of those beliefs, or just hates somebody else and is annoyed that you don't join them in hating that third party.

                                                        Walk away. Life's too short.

                                                          You have to realize that the overwhelming majority of redditors are late teen/college-age males.

                                                          This isn't to say that all males in that age range are like that, but many/most have no idea what the world is about, and they're still trying simply to overcome the hormonal imbalances that have skewed their views since adolescence.

It's very easy for me a white, middle aged, heterosexual man to brush things off or take them with a grain of salt. I hold a position of privilege with that because I know that no matter how much any woman or person of color calls me names or makes generalized condemnations of white people, my privileged status remains unchanged.

                                                              It's nice to see a casual light shed on the women-hating that can be found on reddit. Or at least the very anti-feminist attitude you're likely to find everywhere around here. Internally, reddit has a reputation for genuine discussions, and by extension, its users often have a reputation for being reasonable conversationalists.

                                                              I know it isn't advisable to take that reputation at face-value, but I've seen and taken part in a lot of genuinely compelling or insightful conversations around reddit. In some cases, I can definitely say I've walked away with important new perspectives. That's something I haven't quite found on other outlets.

                                                              But if you wander anywhere close to the topic of feminism or anything tangential to it, reddit often starts to resemble a typical YouTube comment section, complete with opinionated immovability and low-effort, snide remarks. It's not something that impacts me in any significant sense, but it's certainly discouraging to see the topic shot-down by people all the time.

                                                              Of course, none of that holds a candle to the unambiguous hate that sometimes seeps through the cracks. I don't see it nearly as often, but it's still reasonably certain that I'll find comments that look like they belong on the Red Pill sometimes, no matter how ostensibly far I am from the topic.

                                                              Reddit has helped make it so that if I ever wound up single again, I'd stay that way. It's simply stunning how violently men speak about women on this site. They have scary cognitive distortions around sluts, rape, feminism, gaming women, etc. Of course not all men are like this, but there seems to be a constant simmering rage against women under the surface of many more men than I thought until I started hanging out here. It's more than just against women; the FPH days felt like Lord of the Flies, but what's scary is how many sign up for it. It's not like the handful of crackpots in the hate subreddits, it's just your average folk delighting in hating certain people. It's made me personally very wary of getting closer to anyone.

                                                              I simply didn't realize how many men think women are slutty, man-using whores, who deserve all the bad things that happen to them, aren't worth shit if they've had multiple sexual partners, but are also hateful bitches who won't give anyone sex who isn't 'Chadsexual' (whatever that means, something about a tall guy with a particular mandibular shape from what I can suss out), who deserve to be raped, and that it should be excused if you rape a teenager because they're practically of the age of consent, even though that makes her a useless used up hooker with a giant vagina.

                                                              Really, it all makes my head spin.

                                                                You responded to a comment by a woman saying she would rather stay single than try to find another man because the rage against women is too common among men.

                                                                Maybe you just call it humor and ignore the bigotry if it's about white men and call it bigotry or misogyny if it's about anybody else.

I don't care about points, but lots of downvotes stops you from having debates in real time because admins put a time limit between how often you can post. It is very irksome that your political opinions can lead to you losing speaking rights on Reddit. That seems to be the complete opposite of what the site was set up for in the first place.

I've deleted my Reddit apps and accounts many times over the last several years, but I keep coming back because there are good things about this site too. Some subreddits have an atmosphere that is more pleasant than the site as a whole.

The subs I frequent are the ones I love, though I'm not always very vocal in most of them.

I've made a push lately to get in the real world more to meet people, joining a church, toastmasters, local PMI chapter, etc. but I wish there was like a clearly labeled place to walk in and talk sports in a good environment for example.

The hate against opposing political views, cops, blacks and Muslims is ridiculous. Some of the comments I see in subs like /r/The_Donald and /r/worldnews makes me sick to my stomach and worried that this is how reality is, and that so many people in real life think the way they do.

I didn't have the emotional energy to do my IRL activism and deal with the rampant bigotry here.

                                                                        Generalising Reddit is just impossible to do now because its just too popular. When the default subs have millions of daily viewers you are going to see every sort of opinion, some of which can be horrible. Stick to lower population sub-reddits if you want a more focused community with people who share you opinion.

It's gone down in quality as its culture and Internet culture in general has developed; the dedication to "free speech" makes it a breeding ground for white supremacy and misogyny, and the shittiest jokes get recycled for upvote generation.

                                                                        Add in recent developments like the cancer that is the_Donald, as well as the rise of lite liberalism (wants weed legal, is kinda okay with homosexuals if they're quiet about it, otherwise fairly conservative), and it's become a pretty intolerant and intolerable place that constantly masks itself as elite, intelligent, and progressive.

                                                                        And worst, the method of staying to smaller subs just doesn't work; besides outright brigading, the website is so porous that unless your entire sub is full of users who stay out of the shit subs, they bring those characteristics across.

                                                                        [–]Potato_and_Rainbow 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

                                                                        I'm sorta addicted to Reddit in a way so I really hope the more niche subreddits like this are more active so I wouldn't have to look default subreddits for content.

It would be cool if smaller subs had more content but the more specific they are the more effort each post takes I guess.

I don't get involved in any of the online arguments; I just enjoy consuming the various content and reading a witty comment here and there.

It really bothers the hell out of me. People don't realize that these words lose their effect when they are seen in the top comments of every single damn post.

                                                                        Spend a couple hours, one day, using Google, to find subs you are interested in. There are literally thousands of subreddits. Many of them do not have that much traffic, but when you are subscribed to hundreds of them, you will still get tons of fresh content every day.

                                                                        The default subs are mostly filled with kids, self-important neckbeards, trolls and morons.

Reddit is full of young people (so many teens!). On another sub, one of my comments was taken as being "women hating" by a young woman. She proceeded to tell me off (she thought I was a white, conservative male), and then she said she'd ignore my responses. For the record, I'm a Hispanic, liberal atheist. My comment was in no way misogynistic, but hey, somebody was looking for a fight, so she started one (then left after throwing her punch). That's how it is here. That's how it's been for the 3+ years I've been here.

It drove me nuts. Yes heterosexuals may not be able to understand everything about our perspectives and the systematic marginalization we often felt in the past and sometimes still feel today, but that does not mean they can't offer valid and insightful opinions and that they should be mocked or not allowed in the subreddit. Many of them seemed to be genuinely there to learn or gain a new perspective towards humility and understanding, yet they were all accused of being 'horny men just interested in fetishizing lesbians'.

                                                                        I suppose it was a good lesson in that even those who have been marginalized and oppressed will have no problem condoning the same attitude towards anyone who doesn't fit into their tiny little echo chambers. It's partially why I left the sub.

                                                                        [–]YourShoelaceIsUntied 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)
