  • it should be shit canned.

    they really need to lay off this nonsense and focus on a few good shows with compelling characters outside of the classic trilogy. like Andor. the emphasis should be about world-building, not nonsensical nostalgia cash grabs like the last trilogy was.

  • deeper than that. a lot of people's entire identity/value gets wrapped up in patently false beliefs. and being wrong about that means they are wrong as a person.

    that is why so many yahoos have this 'or die' dedication to complete nonsensical beliefs and become violent when those beliefs are challenged.

  • I'm in my late 30s.

    No. People who are twats just become bigger twats as they age. People who are not-twats remain not twats.

    Some people become twats because they become bitter and angry at the world for not giving them what they think they 'deserve'.

  • if you get banned from enough subs you get that account suspended. try to come back as an alt and get banned again, your get ip banned from the site.

    powermods would abuse their position as mods of multiple subs to silence and harass people they didn't like or agree with. I myself was a victim of this.

    it doesn't matter if reddit is woke, what matters is the behavior. doesn't matter if the powermod in question is left or right leaning, they still basically have the power to ban someone from the entire site, merely because they don't like your politics, or worse, one comment you made on one sub.

    even if that comment is bannable, doesn't mean you should be banned from unrelated subs, let alone the site. it's also double ridiculous when you are a power user or other significant person in the sub who has helped build the community and some power mod decides you're a threat to them.

  • Using basic mathematics isn't allowed in housing market discussion.

    the only acceptable position is that mortgage rates must be forever low, so housing values can continue to rise!

    anything else is unacceptable!

    housing values can never fall! it's not allowed!

  • my entire history of reddit was joining a small cool sub about a niche topic i liked. learning more and more and watching it grow. then watch it become flooded with low quality content by more and more people who were just there to brag and ask stupid questions and troll. then the good users would leave and the mod would ban anyone who disagreed with whatever populist bullshit was being pushed and pointed out viral marketing and steal advertising accounts. that or the mods were uptight nazis who basically banned anyone or anything outside of what they posted. or the pathetic users who would stalk and harass and insult you because you said something they dind't like.

    i just wanted a place where i could enjoy things and learn things and be free of peopel trolling for attention and validation for their fragile egos. pretty much all hobby subs become 'look at this very expensive thing i purchased'. or if they were artistic it was 'good vibes only'. on top of all the bullshitting and lying and karma farming.

    reddit was best when it was basically link aggregator with comments. as soon as people were able to post images/videos and were able to ban anyone they disagreed with, it basically devolved into a kindergarten level show and tell hugbox with the mods being kindergarten teachers telling us anything other than 'being nice' meant you were no longer allowed to participate.

  • Exactly. Reddit used to be fun. anarcho communists and hardcore libertarians could trash talk, debate, and banter. people on the site were just fun weirdos. nothing was personal, very little was seriously political.

    then everything became serious business, and no more fun was allowed and mods became growth-grubbing ban-happy nutcases who only allowed 'correct' opinions, and the site became useless as both a source of entertainment and education because it became about perpetuating the very serious bullshit bubble of your sub at all costs.

    i have been mostly having the same opinions for a decade on reddit. the past couple of years my pragmatic thoughts are now a bannable offensive because they aren't so far-left or far-right nonsense.
