Social Figured out why reddit such a snowflake website

[CrimsonFan]

I've had a reddit account for a number of years. It always kind of baffled me as to why it was such a liberal website. I mean it seems like just about everyone on there had very leftist views.


Which I just ignored.. I'm not even really conservative.. I might lean that way but overall I just don't care that much. I mainly just stayed in subreddits that interested me talking about sports, music, and whatnot


Well election night I stumbled into the politics sub... reading everyone's reaction to the election in the live thread. All night long every post was "calm down it's still early!!"

"It's like you've never seen an election before, it's early!!"


So when trump was announced the winner, I said one thing. My only political post in years of reddit.

I said

"It's still early guys!!"


And I was permanently banned from the entire website. (Not just the sub). With no reason stated.

.....

Great story. Could’ve used a vampire or something though.

So what did you figure out?

That if you voice conservative opinions you get permanently banned.

Lol yea. I had never bothered stumbling into any political discussion. Won't be bothering with that website anymore. Fuck them.

 

[cottagecheesefan]

Reddit is one of the most poorly designed websites ever. Fuck them

 

[Wilmer Digreux]

They act just like the crooked ass party they support. And it ain't just reddit. my thread "America has spoken. Everyone is tired of the democrats screwing up our country" in here was deleted a few mins ago with no explanation given or admission of who did it.

Clearly it was a butthurt democrat mod or admin, abusing their authority and manipulating media to silence opinions that differ from their own and taking zero accountability for it.


But it's all good.... we still won and they still lost. Suckit

The mods here aren't much better. I barely post anymore because I'd get yellows for the dumbest shit imaginable. I remember once making a Chris Leben reference by saying Rose Namajunas was gonna send Weili Zhang back to China where the competition was easy. Immediate dubs for "RAYCISSSSSSSSSM!!!!!!!!!!!"

I would've used Korea instead of China, tbh and calling her Megumi Fuji.

I got banned for using the pronouns he/him to a guy.

that seems wild. what sub was it?

i would say i myself am dem/lib leaning, but reddit certainly is dem/lib biased in general.


i was banned from the subreddit justiceserved for having made a comment in the joerogan subreddit. apparently there is a list of subreddits that some subreddit moderators consider spreaders of hate speech etc., and anyone who posts there get automatically banned.

its kinda wild because i assume r/joerogan is on there for rogans stance on various controversial topics, but that sub appears to be predominantly critical of joe.

Exactly. I called the mods out here multiple times, other mods actually agreeing with me calling out the #blueAnon ones. Just like I was right trump would be coming right back.

Scum bags lol.

The people on Reddit make the karate forum's liberals look slightly sane. They are a bunch of unhinged autist's. Whenever I needed a good chuckle the last couple days I check out the responses to any post about Trump on the front page. It is comedy gold how detached from reality they are on that site.

Reddit is one giant fart-smelling echo chamber.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

I was trolling them pretty hard yesterday...didn't get banned.

I like Reddit but I can't believe how far left it is. /pics is absolutely a joke. Literally all positive Harris/Walz pics and negative Trump ones. Zero nuance. It doesn't make any sense.

Would sherdog do better than Doreen if asked to send an ambassador to Fox News?

The karma system is designed to facilitate group think. No one will stick around if they have the minority opinion and get negative karma. So one side or the other was bound to gain dominance.
