imgur exists because of reddit and is an excellent source for pictures of rabbits you should search for 'bunny' instead of 'rabbit' though because rabbit gets you a lot of weird poo poo that is not pictures of rabbits at all

Whats the point there's one that links to some lovely xkcd comic every time anyone uses the phrase "x rear end y", e.g. "ugly rear end baby". it's the closest thing current technology has to an autonomous murder bot because I want to die every time I see it

Not just Reddit but it’s the worst example of modern recreational outrage Getting people banned for saying Caitlyn Jenner is ugly and killed a man Or firing people making racist jokes offhand Or forcing businesses to grovel forgiveness from outraged online mobs due to pissing off king nerd of random Reddit group online or selling the wrong trinket or not being supportive enough of cause of the week gently caress this outrage culture oval office, nigga, tranny, and retard, why are these words bad all of a sudden and other terms that used to be bad are suddenly fine (you couldn’t say colored people but now you have to say people of color) Tried to do the same with Bossy but that was going too far I don’t like having my language controlled, oh no they said a bad word! BLOCKED I only like to read people who agree with me!!!! Online was supposed to empower the masses but now everyone’s drunk with power and using it for the pettiest poo poo instead of real problems (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

If you don't wanna get fired for saying something don't do it on an account associated with your real name, simple. You'd get fired for saying the poo poo irl at work it's gonna apply the same online

I like it when these bots appear on every thread then the poem guy turns up and all of Reddit makes the same joke at the same time NOT!!!!!!!!!

Comfy Fleece Sweater posted:Not just Reddit but it’s the worst example of modern recreational outrage Yeah, reddit probably takes the cake when it comes to virtue-signaling. Even when you get out of the echo-chamber subs, redditors swarm to profess their good characters and right thinking ways any time something politically incorrect gets posted. This is probably because all the politically incorrect redditors went to voat and such after so many unsavory subs have been banned.

If you don't have it associated with your name it doesn't matter what is accepted or not. Or for the pro move set up an account with the name and pictures of someone you don't like and post the most abhorrent poo poo possible. That being said yea social media sucks and I don't use it

In the spring of 2017, I was at a Reddit meetup in Seattle and had an opportunity to meet The Guy Who Does the Hydraulic Press Videos on Youtube. He was extremely charming and confident, freely passing around his phone so that we could all watch previews of his upcoming (and premium) web series. As the night went on, we eventually found ourselves alone at a corner booth in a skeevy bar we had all gone out to drink at. I had told him about my own personal passion for using large devices to crush random, everyday objects and had also told him I was working to save towards buying my own hydraulic press. I mentioned that I had been trying to find someone to guide and instruct me in the operation of one but to no avail. I was new to the community and had not yet met many people who could or would help me. To be honest, I was a little buzzed. I had been served one and a half Sex on the Beaches (both of which The Guy Who Does the Hydraulic Press Videos on Youtube had ordered for me - a red flag, I know) and in that state, I think he was able to pick up on just how lonely and vulnerable I truly was. He offered to take me over to his hotel room and let me try out his portable hydraulic press prototype. I was initially hesitant but relented as he assured me that his safety procedures were impeccable and that it would be a relaxing, chill experience. I remember very specifically, he kept saying "Crushing makes you feel good" over and over. It was very persuasive. When we arrived at his hotel room, he immediately began plying me with CBD gummies and green tea. It was nauseating and disorienting, but I accepted them so as not to seem rude. His "portable hydraulic press" was nothing more than a hammer with silver duct tape around the handle and a couple of caution stickers. This is when I began to realize something wasn't right. I remember him calibrating the "hydraulic press" using several large, wooden cubes. He kept calling them his "cubies". It makes me sick to even think about it. He then set up a camera and retrieved several VHS copies of The Sweet Hereafter, which is a good enough film not necessarily worthy of crushing. I told him this. Several times. I also told him that I was currently into watching another YouTube channel's VHS obliteration videos and that this felt weird. He didn't care. He crushed them while I watched. Half drunk. Half delirious with a cocktail of CBD oil and caffeine. I felt like I couldn't breathe, couldn't move. I have never been more afraid or disgusted in my life. If a hotel employee hadn't arrived to investigate the noise, I don't know what else he may have crushed or what else may have happened between us. I took an uber, something I really didn't have the money for, back to my own hotel and wept. Seeing a video of him crushing a Furby and a block of Lego bricks a couple of weeks later, I decided I could no longer stay silent. I posted about our encounter and was banned from one subreddit after another. r/seattle, r/videos, r/letsnotmeet... all toxic environments looking to quiet the violated. Reddit is a garbage place full of garbage people.

As others have said, Reddit is just fine for niche hobbies where there isnt a lot of traffic. Anything else is a race to the bottom and the whole upvote system is broken and dumb. Someone analyzed a bunch of data on upvotes and found that it all comes down to who posts first. People who post early in a thread during peak hours get a surge of initial upvotes and their comment stays at the top because it's more visible as the hours pass. The content doesnt matter as long as its not a blatant troll or something like that.
