Lol "learn to think for yourself" they say as they blindly support their party line, get all epic bacon with their insults, and offer nothing of substance besides screaming "no you're wrong!" because you said something they don't like hearing.
It's getting way worse over there. I got my 15 year old (I know, I suck) account banned from r/news because I said Tara Reade moving to Russia isn't proof her accusations are false. The mod called me a troll, banned me, and muted me because I called him the minister of propaganda lol.
Just screaming the word "Stupid!" over and over and over again in a loop, the moment you hit a thought-terminating post, seems to be the Reddit standard reaction.

Sounds like a normal day on Reddit to me. I was going through accounts on a monthly basis as I tripped into this or that mod's bugaboos. Was posting behind an RDP for a while to avoid the periodic IP sweeps that Reddit Admins would do. Eventually, it occurred to me that this was a lot of effort for nothing but psychic damage.
Exactly. It's a machine you can't really beat. They have their agenda and they're going to whatever they want.
It does seem like they've reached a point where a lot of users are feeling alienated. It probably won't be a sudden death like Digg was, but I could imagine a slow decline to the point where it eventually loses a lot of its user base, and ultimately, value.
It's wild. They'll just bring up a list of things and say "oh wow you're checking all the boxes like 'manufacturing consent' or 'war is a racket' lol ur a stereotype" but they don't actually have anything to refute what you're saying. It's not a place for intelligent conversation.

Keeping old.reddit.com around for as long as they did was a savvier move than they even realized, I think.
But if apps like RIF break, I wonder how many people even remember their accounts to sign back into the main site.
Exactly what my evangelical friends would say when I began questioning the church
I.e. :zizek:
