Muerte, who has already been mentioned with his hike for mental health awareness

Is this from GBS? I haven’t looked there for a long time, and this sounds like some GBS Superstar posting. I believe this is the first multiple-sub forum-discussion I’ve missed since not hopping on the Airdisc thread day one, and it makes me wonder if I’m getting too old for this poo poo. :confused:

Edit: thanks for the link! Bookmarked for reading later on.

Why does no one on writing subreddits know how the gently caress to write an engaging sentence?

Do they just have a truckload of prepositions they need to sell today or they're not making payroll?

I mean gently caress. You have two sentences. Set up, build tension, release tension, punchline.

You can't meander across 6 subjects


gently caress. Fuuuuuck.

hey guys I was eating too much junk food and microwave meals so I’m teaching myself to cook anyway here’s some processed frozen junk meat I warmed up and then I put one potato in a jar of mayonnaise /r/mademesmile :) wholesome :)

Most of the comments seem to be "I don't get it, he obviously just microwaved some chicken tenders and mashed potatoes" - and some point out that he has a history of posting things like that - it's not the first time he has claimed its the first meal he cooked.

I posted a while ago about an awful /r/quityourbullshit post that was just a weird witch hunt leading to harassing some person for being an autistic woman who had taken nude photos of herself in the past. During that, I had an exchange with that subreddit's mods where I got heated and insulted them because they obviously were not interested in stuff like being careful putting a spotlight on people's private information and targeting them for harassment (after which they made that thread a "Mod's Choice" most likely because they were butthurt about being insulted).

The weird part is, in the month since that happened it almost seems like my account has entered some kind of "low engagement" mode where a very strange number of my comments go completely unresponded to or unnoticed in most subforums. I know this sounds kinda paranoid, but I'm not exactly freaking about it or anything... I'm strongly considering just deleting my account anyway because I hate everything the site stands for. There's just a very noticeable difference in the amount of comments I make in big subreddits that are never upvoted or downvoted even once. I can't help but wonder if mods of big subreddits have access to any vindictive punishment buttons that secretly flag your account as a troll or something.

Yeah yeah, I know. But Reddit witch hunts are terrible, mods of big subreddits are power tripping piss babies, and I just wouldn't be surprised if there are weird mute buttons or something. I don't care about upvotes, it just seemed like the karma stopped fluctuating in any direction at all like it used to.

reddit shadowbanning is real, there's a whole subform dedicated to explaining it. if the reddit robot decides your posts suck all your posts have to be manually approved by the sub's mods.

Basically every social media has shadowbanning, it's harder to notice compared to an outright ban so it probably slows down bots just a tad.

As for arguing with reddit mods, lol

Reddit is staffed almost exclusively by those sorts of people.

Have you tried casually dropping the N-word to see if you're down voted into oblivion or not?

I feel like that's the only way we'll know for sure.
