The early 2010s want their twee geek culture bullshit back. Also, who the fuck has ever gone to Reddit for empathy 
BECOME A REDDITOR
come for the one niche hobby sub you give a shit about, stay because the alternative is a drama-filled discord run by an asshole
goddamn this is the correct answer
So true lol
It’s fucking impossible to “become a redditor” these days. You can’t fucking post on literally any subreddit with a new account. Every single subreddit automoderator filters out new accounts, and automoderator filters out low karma accounts. You can’t earn any to become an account that can post. It’s completely shit. They are killing their own site by making it impossible for new users to participate.
It is harder to post on reddit with a new account than it is to post on Hexbear with a new account. The new account can’t see it, but all its comments are being filtered.
Smaller active subreddits are likely to approve your stuff if they have filters at all. That kind of filter is mostly a problem of scale on the subreddits that have like a million subscribers
BECOME A REDDITOR
don’t think i will actually
If there’s one thing on the Internet I do not fucking miss at all it’s that toxic shithole website. So much propaganda so many bots and just plain stupid takes
The entire site is unusable. It’s either corporate astroturfing, government psy-ops, or neo-nazi incels posting the worst takes you’ll ever see. The few actual people there post all kinds of wrong information. It’s easy to notice when you’re knowledgeable about a topic and you see incorrect nonsense voted to the top.
And why is it voted to the top?
Let me introduce you to a term that succeeds manufacturing consent. It’s called 'the ideas industry ’
I think this is from old.reddit which never gets updated, so the narwhal never stops baconing.
The lack of updates is also why it’s a lot more usable than the ”improved” new design.
That’s what I suspect, but Reddit was also even worse back then, with subs like jailbait just openly existing
They mean empathy for fascists and pedophiles
Ah yes, empathy from a site that is 90% suicide jokes
DAE Putin and Trump kissing!! Get it?? Gay is bad!!
Liberals have one joke and the left is scared!
Come for your dipass vidya fandom, stay for the racism
The Chive-ass tagline lol
Come for le epic le bacon of narwhal stay for
become a
fascist and start exploitingdeleted by creator
God I forgot what I was searching for, but a sub showed up in the results. It was literally just called removed" and I opened it, hoping it was some kind of survivor support group. Nope! Just a bunch ofremoveds bragging to one another about their victims and sharing tips on how to get away with their crimes. Just fucking disgusting and out in the open.
I think the admins shut down the sub, but I doubt they handed any of the users over to law enforcement. And they only shut it down because it made it into the mainstream news not long after I stumbled into it.
Yes, this has been there on Old Reddit for years. They’ve forgot about Old Reddit for so long that if you visit it on a mobile device, the banner at the top to try to get you to download their app leads to an error displayed in JSON
