Anon hates reddit

Random transphobia in there can fuck right off

4th item is most likely referring to r/conservative as well which means they're also mad they can't participate in the hate chamber
- Eh probably not, I used to get messages all the time saying "Oh you were subscribed to or posted in r/thisbullshit so we went ahead and banned you." even though I didn't even remember subscribing to or posting in said subreddit
  Also Reddit's policy is officially that you cannot be banned from one subreddit for something that happened in another. This policy is so god damn ignored, that you'd think it was an officer's oath to serve and protect.
- Third point too in my experience
Yeeeeeaaaaah, when I read the bit about narrow talking points being allowed, I knew the author was either going to have a good point about Reddit's tendency to circlejerk, or be a bigoted piece of shit. Not really shocked it's the latter.
- They're coming from 4chan. It was obvious how it was going to go just by the format of the post, before reading a single word
Random? That or some other bigoted bullshit was forecast to come from the third sentence.
They really buried the lede with that one, huh.
Indeed, one thing I love about being trans is that it gives me a radar for if someone is being based or just an asshole.
If I detect transphobia I realize it's just assholery.
- trouble is, we can all use that method with or without being Trans 😜 stay safe

"Everywhere I go smells like shit."

Better check your shoes for dog shit!

Had me until the transphobia

It explains some.of the earlier stuff too.
He's active on right-wing hate subs, so he's banned from the remaining civilized subs.
seriously? there was some whiny obnoxious shit there way before the transphobia

these people think women can have dicks

There it is. I was suspicious of this person's politics from the "virtually every topic known to man".

Yup, I saw that first part and thought, "Ahh, 4chan, where people think reddit is too woke."

So close to being a sensible rant until the transmysoginy

Fake: anon hates reddit because they have jargon (every language has it)

Gay: women can and do have dicks, gtfo with transphobia

The jargon thing is pretty rich coming from the most jargon-dense place on the internet
I mean.. /d/

The fact anon used IPA as an example in the context of "acronyms they had to go look up the meaning of" says a lot about them, ngl.

The tacked on casual transphobia finishes painting the picture of the sorta person they are.

I was confused when I read the transphobia part, then I remembered this was 4chan and cringed
Yeah everyone knows about the IPA
- "I was sucking my wife's cock the other day, and it reminded me of this International Phonetic Alphabet I had recently!"

The problem is that 4chan is too degenerate and reddit is too, well... reddit. Unfortunately Lemmy is far from perfect as well.

Reddit is populated by Bill Maher flavored liberals, 4chan is populated by Asmondgold flavored cockroaches, Tildes is populated by approximately seven users (but they're all pretty cool), and Lemmy users are smart with tech and stupid with everything else
- Hey, some of us are stupid with tech too! 😤
- If your views are more moderate and nuanced, not so much. Context and intent does not seem to matter here.
  This is so accurate I thought it worth acknowledging and repeating.
- I'd like a George Carlin / Bill Burr with some Carl Sagan as balance flavored community, please.
- and Lemmy users are smart with tech and stupid with everything else
  Well, that's me fucked, where too now ?
Lemmy is more liberal than left, that's my problem with it. You will get hate for saying very reasonable opinions just because it goes against certain narratives. Better yet, just spit straight facts and you will still get hate, like this: economic class matters more than race for nearly all aspects of life, and a considerable number of primarily-racial factors would also be solved by eliminating poverty and reducing overall inequality.
Now watch the comments roll in.
- Yup, I mean read the other replies justifying murder under this comment and being upvoted. It's fucking insane.
- dumb comment tilting at windmills, the amount of people posting opinions like the ones you're thinking about are dwarfed by everyone else
Lemmy is just the right amount of degenerate.
- I disagree, on one hand people are really easily offended and on the other you have blatant open pedophilia among the anime communities and people calling for physical violence. It might be "just right" if you agree with the majority of people here. If your views are more moderate and nuanced, not so much. Context and intent does not seem to matter here.
  Addendum: This isn't even anyones fault specifically, but of human psychology. Read about tribalism and social sorting, it is depressing as fuck. If you disagree with somebody your brain automatically puts them in the "enemy team" and attributes everything you consider evil or negative with them, whether you like it or not.

I wish there was a board where people would have the ideology of the left but without bring so triggered by anything.

Just no concept of humor as a coping mechanism.

Sir this is Lemmy. People are even more up their butts here than Reddit
I've had the fortune to post on niche micro-imageboards like that, irreverent but not hateful.
They just have to stay small otherwise the classic issue of "Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they're in good company" arises and now you can't post pictures of black people without a chance of triggering the trolls.
- The age old battle between "I think It's funny because It's true" against "I think it's funny because it's not true and absurd "
It seems like you are getting either one extreme or the other. I'd be fine with no extremism on either political side and more rational moderation.
- rational moderation is a pipedream
Stupidpol describes itself as "Subreddit focused on critiquing capitalism and identity politics from a Marxist perspective" and I'd say that's pretty accurate. Despite being primarily Marxist, rightoids and libs are allowed to post so long as they flair themselves, and censorship is kept to a minimum (mostly just removal of anything that gets Reddit admins involved).
Surely thats your own lemmy instance ? other instances can federate or defederate as they want (or piefed)
- I am poor and don't call me Shirley.
there used to be a /leftypol/ somewhere but it was all Stirnerists for some reason
Ummm this is actually so toxic and disrespectful. People on the left care about and advocate for marginalised people and so adding humour to them is a pretty bad look sweety. I think, respectfully, you should delete this now. And maybe catch up on some of your leftist reading... This comment gives me pretty yikes vibes..

I hate how much over reach the mods have. Reddit doesn’t want to pay them so they let them have absolute power in their subs and thousands of people are punished because the mods wife cheated on him with his brother and he’s having a bad week.

I was banned from the whole site because a mod got mad that I reported someone for abusive behavior that said mod agreed with.
- I got banned because I said “1 like = 1 wank” in r/entertainment about a pornstar that had died. I thought it would be fitting but I guess I was wrong.
because the mods wife cheated on him with his brother and he’s having a bad week
Implying it wasn't pre-arranged. Brother probably comes in like "hey baby -tips fedora- I just got back from my dog walking job and now I smell like at least 6 golden retrievers" and the mod's wife's panties drop because the brother has a job.
This is even worse on Lemmy.

Can't wait till I see the greentext screenshots from 4chan about trying Lemmy only to discover it's just Reddit. This site is the ultimate "we're not Reddit!"

Looks inside

Reddit

More niche and somehow more circle jerk
But at least federated 🤷
- Turns out when you give full autonomy to the users they double down on being cringe. And I'm here for it, love y'all.

Bro is posting this transphobic garbage on 4chan like they didn't all want to suck girlcock there too 🙄

As AVGN once put it, it's like choosing the dog shit that is all mushy and wet that has been in the shade all day, vs. the dog shit that has dried out in the sun across the street. Yes, the dried out dog shit is still better to step in, but it is still dog shit.

On a note regarding relationship advice, that's so fucking true and I was always being downvoted there for pointing that out. I wonder how many relationships got broken because of Reddit's advice on some of the minor and normal relationship problems that could be solved by talking it out instead of "that's a red flag just dump them bro".

I've found some of the more shit post focused communities to actually be useful (or at least I did back when i still used Reddit).

PrisonHooch had more helpful advice and recommendations than HomeBrewing; PoliticalCompassMemes actually allowed space for Leftists to debate the Far-Right; Cremposting was where you went to discuss your tinfoil hat theory's on the works of Brandon Sanderson; etc. (I know there was a dozen or so of these I used to lean into, but those are the three that immediately come to mind).

2westerneurope4u unironically has some of the most important and honest discussions among Europeans, because people don't need to worry that much about what they are writing. They have mastered less moderation, without becoming a hate filled cesspool.
- Don't suppose they have a fediverse equivalent space?
- Never ask 2westerneurope4u what they think about Sinti and Roma or eastern Europeans.

Perfect description.

Let's go through this:

Unpop Opinon is always terrible. It's terrible by design. Next.
Yes, very true, relationship advice online is generally awful. Rare chad on 4chan?
Ew. Going on about wrongthink, sounds like someone tried to say something hateful and didn't like being told to shut up.
Ew. Probably went on conservative. Shut up.
"Talks in qualifiers"?? What is this, a fucking grammarly course? Shut the fuck up.
Oh gee I can't talk about a specific language on the meta language board, I can only talk about meta language learning. If only I could go to a sub for the individual fucking language. What, are you complaining that you can't flood the meta sub with one of a thousand "whats good spanish app" posts?? Shut the fuck up.
Yes, hobbyists can be snobs. Not unique to reddit. Although I wonder if again we're mad that someone disagreed with me. Should probably just shut the fuck up.
Grammarly snob Anon doesn't like acronym snob Redditor, okay. This just sounds whiny. You guessed it, shut the fuck up.
And then there's the transphobia, although TBQH I'm a little concerned that Anon hadn't already lost you all before this point, did you just not sniff out the whiny bitchboy bullshit or did you all actually agree with it? Oh well, at least you all can draw the line at transphobia. As far as this complaint, they're upset that they didn't understand someone else's post because there wasn't enough information? Seriously? Shut the fuck up!
Ladydick is great but if it tastes yeasty then maybe see a doctor
Award speech edits are actually the very, very, qualitatively super duper worst thing about redditors, indeed. Never the less, shut the fuck up anon

Yeah this whole rant fell flat, it was just a generic conservative bitchpost. 1/10

The hobby one was the one that hit me the most.
I love a specific hobby. I don't like to engage much of the community because my opinions go against the hive kind. I also don't have interest/energy to debate. I also am not that interested in engaging daily. Weekly, sure. Monthly, absolutely. But day after day? I have a life to live.
But Every time I introduce people to it, I have to dial down my excitement. I invest a lot into my hobby and I'm really good at it.
Who controls the Reddit narrative of my hobby? Not people like me.
- Well, what's the hobby?
Check out the defender of the hive here.
- It's not a hive mind... it's just a lot of people who think you're a dick.
  Like you realize that Anon will call us a hivemind for challenging transphobia right? Is it because you can't think for yourself? Or maybe you have a better reason for hating transphobes??
  People who complain about hivemind are just trying to dehumanize and divide us.

Stalinist approach

Capitalist prole looking at a private media institution managed by unpaid laborers intent on maximizing profits for a gaggle of overpaid administrative flaks and their indolent shareholders: "God damn, this is like when the Russian guy ran a Communist newspaper."

Nevermind that these people think women can have dicks

Anyway, here's why Reddit is broke. Too. Many. Trans-Friendly. Leftists. Amirite, folks?

Fucking 4chan. Just stay dead already.

What is wrong with women with cocks? I find them very hot.

Anon is a futa hater
- On 4chan.

I got banned from unpopular opinions and a bunch of other communities on dbzer0 for activity not on that community. We're slowly turning into Reddit ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Given that, according to your comment history, you think "homosexuality is morally wrong", I don't think you're going to find much sympathy here. On the whole, Lemmy has little patience for regressive ideology.
- I was talking in terms of my religious beliefs. If you aren't a Christian, my opinion doesn't concern you.
I never had to write my political manifesto to join a community on Reddit either lmao
DBZero(and Blahaj) have skin so thin that a bible page across the arm causes bloodletting.
I'm surprised the owners don't divvy out ban quotas per month. Half of the users they ban aren't even conservatives, who just had logical misunderstandings with an admin one day; wannabe couch revolutionaries looking for targets in the absence of anything real to do.
- Blahaj has a no tolerance policy on trans rights, from what I understand, and I think they like how they run their stuff. Maybe you know that already, but if not, maybe that's helpful? It's not so much thin skin as "we're here for the purpose of not seeing that kinda stuff, so we block it here".
  DB0 is legitimately one of the coolest places on the modern internet, I'm curious to hear what kinds of things you've seen bans for. The admin/host (by the same name) seems to have very rational, reasonable takes toward moderation, and he values transparency and community feedback. Frankly from my own (instance-level, not community or thread) observations, he seems like a model of high-quality moderation. Your experience sounds off to me, but I hope that doesn't come across as an accusation, I don't intend one.
- Or maybe the ""conservatives"" are the actual snowflakes they complain about.
  Maybe those fascists should gtfo and try not shooting and killing women and queers, and so on?
This. In recent months I've seen more and more hostile interactions and political strawmans than I can count. Been on Lemmy for over 2 years, and it hasn't changed for the worse until recently.
- Yeah, it all changed after Trump's victory and all the crazy shit he started immediately doing. I have both contributed to the problem, and lamented the shift. I don't want this platform to be about slinging half-baked political takes (lumping myself in there, to be clear), but also I can't blame anyone for wanting to discuss the terrifying stuff we're seeing. Really was cooler here, even just 6 months ago.
Some Lemmy "lefties" are actually just liberals who hate America and want some token reforms of capitalism. If you look at it that way the actions of the extreme/stupid users starts to add up.
You sir are a rare breed, I think the first actual conservative I have ever seen on Lemmy. I'm sure we disagree on most things but thanks for adding some diversity of opinion in a respectful manner.
- Actual as in, status quo, Christian democrat stuff, or "actual" as in, fascists and alt-right and populists? The latter aren't conservatives; in the US, those are the actual RINOs.

Yeah boo reddit.
