Not only are they not participating in the Reddit protest, they are still posting about Donald Trump in 2023. Every single post is about him, the republicans, or people associated with him. Donald Trump thinks less about himself than /r/whitepeopletwitter. /r/blackpeopletwitter actually locked down the subreddit to show solidarity with the rest of the site, /r/whitepeopletwitter put the sub into approved users only mode (WHICH WOULDNT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT 3RD PARTY API’S YOU FUCKING SCABS) and look at that, nobody is posting about the protest on /r/whitepeopletwitter, how strange! But maybe I can interest you in ANOTHER BREAKING NEWS STORY ABOUT DONALD TRUMP!

I swear that there’s a group of people in the FBI who are astroturfing the fuck out of Reddit, they control whitepeopletwitter, they control news, and politics, and all the major subs that didn’t shut down. And all they do is post about how bad Donald Trump is. If Ghislaine Maxwell was a Reddit mod it wouldn’t surprise me.

Whitepeopletwitter is suppose to be a place where people post funny screen caps of :lmayo: putting their dogs in sweaters, it’s supposed to be manchildren soying out over their Nintendo switch and marvel movies, it’s supposed to be people talking about their weird uncles, and you know sometimes there’s something very serious posted. But its like now all “Trump bad”. The vibes there are bad man.

I miss the old whitepeopletwitter (well not really) but I’m trying to make a point here this subreddit sucks.

    That Subreddit is the embodiment of Adam Friedland doing the Bill Maher voice saying "um, the Republicans?"

    The fact that they can't even shut down for two days is a pretty funny meta commentary on their inability to lend support to any kind of movement if it's even the slightest bit inconvenient

    Iirc on their subreddit they had a lengthy handwringing post about how they "stand in solidarity" and then piss it all away saying the subreddit is only going to restrict submissions which you don't even notice if you just lurk (which most people do!).

    It's such a great caricature, like I'm imagining a guy walking across a picket line with his fist raised

    I saw a post on there the other day and they were calling Trump TFG (The Former Guy). Reddit libs have discovered whole new levels of cringe.

      Subs like r/worldnews are clearly astroturfed as hell, you can scroll for minutes at a time before finding an article that isn't about a non NATO aligned country being bad, and if you check out the people who are posting the articles most of them seem to literally argue for Western Imperialism on reddit as if it's their day job.

        The only good part is that on reddit it's pretty much just an echo chamber of western chauvinists circle-jerking with fed posters over china bad. No one who can actually do anything with policy or law gives a shit about reddit and it's cetainly not used by anyone outside the anglosphere.

          Yeah, definitely. I unsubscribed from all those subreddits a few months ago so it's not even causing me psychic damage anymore (although sometimes I'll go dip my toe back in when I feel like reading some redditor cope, haha)

            Yeah I'm from the far west burbs, but I'm familiar with the Wheaton / Elmhurst / Lombard area; I'm not surprised that they're a bunch of redditors over there because I knew a handful of Elmhurst students, but I am surprised they pulled enough weight to get a shoutout like that lol

      Her particular area of expertise is the war in Syria, regarding which she has been among the most belligerent voices, constantly calling for more American intervention to overthrow the government of Bashar al-Assad.

      My friend was trying to tell me that the politicians in Australia were only emboldened to be demons because of Trump and that it all flowed downstream from him. Like they didn't legalize gay marriage only a few years after the U.S., which has still been less than a decade ago. It was fucking maddening.

    I'm still not sure what possible reason r/whitepeopletwitter could exist for other than white people being jealous black people have a twitter subreddit. It's not about making fun of white people, that's very clear just looking at the place. So why is the existence of this sub socially acceptable on reddit in a way that supporting a potential white history month isn't? Makes no sense

      Theyve done white/flipped versions of every popular subreddit, especially if it made no fucking sense lol. I remember them making fragileblackredditors bc they kept getting assmad about fwr and absolutely 0 posts there made any goddamn sense, it was just fragile white losers malding and proving fwr right

      If r/whitehistorymonth doesn't exist on :reddit-logo: , I'm kinda surprised actually

      blackpeopletwitter is for Get Out-style racists who see black people purely for their entertainment value, and enjoy impersonating AAVE 😬

      whitepeopletwitter reminds me of all the people who see BET and say "why is there no White Entertainment Television?

    The entire Liberal political theory in the US has become about hating trump. The Democrats pursue the exact same policy as republicans.
