Do you ever curiously just scroll through Reddit and notice how the people talk about stuff in such a different, unhealthy, mind set?

I always bail out immediately and come back here now. It's like it's not a site for normal people. The things I've seen people say and talk about on there, that are upvoted and endorsed with normality by the crowd, are often really REALLY fucking deranged sometimes.

I have noticed for awhile that most comments are just a repeat of the rhetoric. If you do not agree, it doesn't matter why, you are a bigot. It really sucks that reddit turned in to basically a big brainwashing scheme. Reddit used to be able real conversation and real people. If you saw a picture of a cute dog, the owner was probably the one who posted it. Now it's your 5 minutes of hate for the day.

To be fair, Reddit was always trash. Now more people just notice.

I commented on a picture on /r/pics of a "hot" actress. I said, "How is this interesting? There are 2,000,000 subs devoted to hot girls."

I got severely attacked. People digging through my post history and everything. Wtf?

It's a REALLY shitty community of bad people. One of the first things I noticed about it.

I got told I probably hate women and would likely kill one if I could get away with it because I didn't like a scene in a show where a prostitute died (scene was badly done).

It felt weird since the beginning. Most top voted comments are borderline infantile jokes. The only thing they take seriously are deranged non-issues pushed by radicalt left.

Since the beginning? as in 15 years ago? Because my memories of that time are totally different.

The bigger Reddits like memes, pics, games and other such very broad subs were always this bad, yeah.

There were no subreddits for the first 3 years.

It seems like the way people comment on reddit threads is how it is on most social media sites. Everything is hyper aggressive and purity tests for wrongthink

It's all feelings, no actual discussion

    Agreed, the only realistic argument for Voat not being taken by feds - is that the feds can keep a website up.

    No surprise, given there was a recent exodus that brought many angry redditors eager to get triggered.

    I have always pictured the average Redditor as a whiny liberal arts college student whose parents must pay for everything, and who have been brainwashed by the college into believing they have the right to run around acting as politically correct SJWs telling everybody else what they can and can't do. It makes sense and it's also why they act all surprised when they finally get told off. They're those kids who were brought up totally coddled and told they were special and got participation awards even when they failed and were stupid af.

    These are some pretty elaborate assumptions. Lol

    [–]yayblueberries 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

    Considering that I worked at a private liberal arts college where this was the average student, and I was often sitting in the back of a classroom, and about half the students had laptops and were on Reddit, then it is a fact, not an assumption. The percentage is what's in question.

    [–]zeusdx1118[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    That wasn't the assumption.

    reddit is full of angry, jobless liberal morons who are stuck in their parents' basements with the knowledge that they will be lifetime losers. That's why they join BLM and Antifa - just to tear shit up & break stuff.

    I can unfortunately see most people on Reddit being the worst when a person says something that isn't in line with their views, or else you're shunned for having a different thought than the hive-mind called Reddit. Man, that sounds pretty grim thinking back at what I just typed...

    I noticed that a lot of the right wing subs I was on previously have started having left wing voices pushed to the top. The recent banwaves really did away with dissenting opinion almost entirely.

    I don't think it is normal people. I think much of it is paid actors pushing narratives of various political parties and foreign governments.

    [–]zeusdx1118[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    Except they're probably more like cult indoctrinated volunteers, pushing agendas they don't even understand properly.

    But I mean, that's the political side. Even the non political people are very rude and messed up in the head it seems like.
