I also choose this guys wife.
Are they still as bad about assuming everyone’s a white cis het man, too?
I forgot about these kinds of comments ace I really don’t miss these kinds of comments.

Oh damn that’s a shame to hear. I hope we can get better without compromising on being anti-corporate
In fairness, that one does get a giggle from me. Every time. Even this one. Especially this one.
Giggity. (Please forgive me.)

“Came here to say this.”
“This is the answer.”
“Beat me to it.”
… Followed by nothing else.
Thanks for 1000 updoots!
Underrated comment.
(Under the very top comment or something incredibly basic and lame.)
“This is the way”
Shadow bans.
My wife tried to post a bunch on art related communities only to have her account banned without us knowing. She does oil paintings and other such art pieces. You had to have a history before you could post…which no one was willing to tell her. So her account got shadow banned. She gave up after a while on reddit. I dont blame her.
I hope we never get so petty.

Repost bots and hidden post histories
Ultra toxic anti communist far right.
The proudly and openly racist comments - particularly towards Arabic people.
Censorship and manipulation
Reddit is basically an American psyop machine. The censorship is alarmingly heavy. It bizarre and I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about it because it’s seems so extreme. It’s like a government tool now.

Unsolicited bot comments.
One to correct a minor grammar mistake, a second to call the first pedantic, and a bunch of good bot/bad bot replies to both, and now half the comment section is noise.
They’re rarely funny or interesting past the first time you encounter them, and their creators never willing to acknowledge that they’ve unleashed a pest.
A hivemind that likes propaganda
Questions about reddit
Perhaps its too late for the largest instances, but the idea of a site like this being a spectator activity, about consumption, rather than creating communities. Some smaller instances, and even some larger ones, have an actual unique atmosphere and have larger projects across the instance. When we suddenly got a flood of reddit users escaping from the third-party API fiasco and the Luigi bans, that was huge enough to dilute some of the communities with large amounts of people used to simply voting and commenting, or having a website premade for them.
Remembering reddit exists at all. Why can’t people stop obsessing over reddit and just enjoy the fediverse?
