Anyone else quit Reddit and movin back to forums?

What's also funny about Reddit is that you can be banned preemptively before ever even entering a specific channel. If you said something negative in one anti Elon channel you could be preemptively banned from the Tesla one. Some idiot made a sub reddit just so he could ban me from it .

There are also demented non ironic subreddits there like moving to North Korea ...with a bunch of edgy teens in there ...it was recommended to me so I thought it was a satire channel...they banned me for a bland pro NATO post...

I moved over from reddit to here. And I won worst newcomer of the year. You can never call me a loser again.

We could see that miles away …

you should check out rdrama they would love/hate you also.

it’s a community that got banned from reddit for constantly trolling redditors so they made an offsite.

the web design and “rules” actively attempt to discourage people from joining, but its pretty entertaining once you get past the layers of irony, and customize the appearance so it’s not so gay looking.

The last 6 weeks it’s been absolute dogshit engagement bait, I feel like they cranked a knob somewhere and the whole thing has gone to shit. I don’t want to read sites with algorithm led feeds anymore. So I’ve come back to forums.

Any other people feel the same way?

OGs never left the forum format. It's the only form of "social media" I've ever had or used online since the late 90s. That's a bit of a lie, I did use Facebook for a few months when it first came out but quickly understood it to be poison and after saying hello to some old pals, I deleted that shit.

I use it just for hobby stuff, but rarely engage especially since the topics that come up get repetitive real quick. Being in IT it is great for work though.

But other than here and one other forum I do not really use forums at all either.

I'll use Reddit at the end of a google search to get human responses, and not some advert. That's about the extent of my use on it.

I always preferred the layout of a message board like Sherdog, as it's easy to follow conversations/find previous replies. Reddit is a mess, not sure how their layout got so popular.

 

[Frank_Drebin]

i'll browse reddit if it's for a recipe or involves feedback about something basic. hell no to politics or anything else, that place is a fat outraged pink haired shit hole.

Bunch of slack jawed ' on reddit

 

[Slapjit]

I tried using reddit a while back for discussing #PowerSlap , but it seems that everyone there is either retarded, a bot, or a retarded bot.

In contrast, I've found that the posters here have a much deeper understanding of the art of slap fighting. The choice was easy

 

[Kardashians]

Still a pretty good resource for looking at MILF buttholes.

reddit is where i find all the ssbbw pics. its my version of going to the zoo.

 

[ShadowRun]

Reddit has been bad for awhile I still look around, sadly SD is becoming closer and closer to Reddit, by design

 

[Nizam al-Mulk]

The only good thing about it that a lot of subreddits tell you about their bias politically before posting unlike most msg boards.

As an old timer... Reddit used to be good. Pre pandemic. Back in the day Digg was the site I checked out and then Reddit replaced it. Around the pandemic the far left extremely liberal people pushed out all of the normal people.

In my local city subreddit (in Canada) it used to have normal news and discussions and opinions. The last 5 years the hyper liberal people completely drowned out the normal by spamming massive volumes of whining and complaining that any rational person simply wouldn't want to waste time engaging.

For example , someone will post a review on a restaurant. A liberal person will flip out because the owner of the restaurant did not vote NDP/Liberal and supported the Conservatives because they believe that party helps small businesses. They'll start spamming about how the owner is a nazi and a commie racist and the rest of the incels will jump on the bandwagon going off on tangents about how everyone needs to avoid this restaurant because they didn't vote for their favorite party.

A crime will happen where a bad guy does terrible things. Liberal people will somehow blame systemic racism and somehow it's Trumps fault (reminder we live in Canada). They'll completely ignore the criminal having a wrap sheet and refuse to accept that maybe the criminal themselves are a bad person and came from a bad environment that they choose to live in.

For my local city subreddit I will look every once in a while to see news updates, but the people who engage are completely the minority of what an average person in town is like. It's always fun come election time when whoever they champion gets trounced and the place is a cry fest.

Some subreddits are good for niche hobbies, repairs, reviews.

I used to like public freak outs but that subreddit went from fun videos to non stop poltical videos. I miss my days of seeing road rage and waffle house fights

Yeah orange man bad/fuck ICE/etc is such easy karma farming that it bleeds into non-political subreddits and ruins them. Public Freak Outs is a great example of a good subreddit getting wrecked by this. Where the most mundane, ordinary Trump admin stuff gets posted so all the far left commie larpers can pretend it's a freakout

I don't know how scientific the polls are but yes there are.

ChatGPT claims I'm a respected user on sherdog with high traffic on threads.

ChatGPT gets lots of it's information from the Guardian news paper, that's a ghey Communist newspaper.........I guess in that regard, hespect......

 

[Beechwood]

I visit Reddit from time to time but don't see the appeal. I'm in the minority there though as Reddit is growing and doing well from what i read.

Unlike you, AI can't be swayed by emotional bias.

 

[Your Salad]

I use Reddit to balance out my morning dose of 4chan.
Swerve to the right, hit a wall on the left, and take my 4th sip of coffee.
That's when I open up Sherdog.

I don‘t frequent forums or social media except sherdog. The idea of Reddit sounds unbearable to me in its functionality and concept.
Also, maybe I am wrong but Reddit seems to be very woke-leaning so fuck it to death.

Not long ago, on the iPad, reddit blocked me, then iOS update must have fixed something in Safari browser and reddit let me browse/lurk again. Now today, reddit is blocking me on computer.
