I still use reddit for a couple of video game pages im into, but I havent even considered going to /r/politics or any of those other terrible places. Thank god for the ban
this is aboslutely a brag but i never went on /r/politics because there is literally nothing there of value and never has been. just a mess of lib npcs, anime fascists, and unreformed paulbots.
Same. I got the need to have online political arguments out of my system on Facebook in like high school. Shit's mad pointless except maybe for honing your own rhetorical style.
i hate reddit so much honestly, the culture is depressing and the only subs left that i care about are okbr and leftist subs 😔
I may not go to reddit for politics, but I usually end up getting to fights about politics on whatever gaming sub I'm in
I go on in to dunk on libs when they're at their lowest, like today. Otherwise it's basically just vidya/hobbyist groups
Are they actually angry about bolivia today? What are their talking points?
Nah, they're angry at Feinstein for being friendly with Republicans right now. Too bad they won't recognize that Obama/Pelosi endorsed her 2018 election over CA Dems choice. Almost like those two were trying to keep conservatives in power. Huh...go figure.
Oh I've had like three liberals (honestly probably the same loser in Langley but w/e) explain to me why Morales is a dictator
(hint: It's because he won 4 democratic elections in a row, something filthy American politicians couldn't do even without term limits)
Liberals are actually cant believe that people actually believe in ideas (of any kind). To them, if you care too much about something then thats probably because you're brainwashed
I think it's more that liberals find it impossible to believe that people in power can actually do anything, therefore the biggest crime that a president could do is make us look stupid because of who we chose
o7 to the developers and donors that made this place possible.
As a mostly Reddit lurker, I miss the epic dunks committed by radicalized chapos in plain sight, and the subsequent bellyaching by libs in the aftermath. But I never thought Reddit was much of value before I started watching the chapo space so it's pretty much just business as usual.
Yeah, having random subreddits filled with chapos rocked, i definetly miss that part
There was a post on r/FantasyPL, fucking fantasy PL that called Hitler left wing.
I barely even visit anymore. I miss a few things, and pay the ask-whatever subs and the sneerclub a visit. But for a long while I used reddit as a coping mechanism, so I do feel like I no longer need it. And this place is more about actually finding like-minded people and community. Something that wasnt a priority before.
No joke - my general mood is so much better now without checking reddit. If I do check it and see some stupid shit, I can always come back here and 99% of the time there's a thread dunking on it.
r/socialistra & r/shitliberalssay are both still pretty good, though SRA is very doom and gloom and fucks with my brain.
It's also really easy to be banned from there, creating an insular echo chamber that everyone loves about reddit
I exclusively shitposts on hoi4 mod subreddits now.
The New Order: A really narrative heavy mod that some describes as visual novel with military minigame. The aesthetic might makes your dog barks like crazy, but it's better than it looks. Hint: play Buryatia.
Equestria at War: Yes, the pony mod. Being wholly fictional, the devs have a room to write the nations into following a story which is pretty cool, and it's the only HOI4 mod so far with a custom script-based nation specific tech tree. Ideologically there's a lot of cool commie nations with various flavors.
Old World Blues: Fallout but mapgame. A lot of cool custom features, but design wise the majority of nations are written to just paints the map around them with not much lore besides what's already given to them at start. Oh, you can play as robot Zapata, who's personality is intentionally inaccurate since in-universe he's based on American propaganda, but it's still pretty neat.
I've stopped using it regularly, my life has slightly improved
