Don't really browse there much anymore, and I understand that it's been going mainstream, but it's weird to see multiple people talk to each other about shit that happened in the 60s and 70s. Used to be that someone would pop in once in a while with an anecdote for the younger crowd that they knew they were surrounded by.
- this isn't to say that boomers can't be chill, but sharing a social space with them en masse would be kinda weird no?
- also not suggesting that this is some sort of turning point, it's been shit since ever, and especially since 2015 (when I primarily browsed metareddit and by 2017 I was browsing r/cth exclusively)
Edit: The boomer infestation is coming from inside the Hexbear! See the comments below for details...
Yeah, they sound like my parents a lot of the times. And the subreddits that lean younger are filled with incels. The only decent subreddits are the ones that lean heavily LGBTQIA+, at least I feel like I'm talking to decent people on there.
BPT still has a lot of good threads and is often good for agitating.
They won't let me in because I'm white
tbh I think that rules
You can still post in BPT if you're white, just not on certain threads where mayos would make a mess of things
That's like 90% of the threads
