Can't stand the layout and the whole upvote/downvote ****.

Old forum layouts will always be the GOAT.

It promotes a hivemind like mentality with the upvote system, where expressing an unpopular opinion is discouraged and hidden. It used to be alright in its early days, now it's mostly left-wing cancer. It's made worse that most of the mods are beta cucks who will ban you for posting anything they don't like, even if it doesn't break a rule. Theres a few decent subreddits but they are few and far between. All the large ones are trash.

They don't. Hardly most experience real life to even implement this talk anywhere outside of a simple sub.
If they had real-life experience they would not have the certain mindset they currently have which is typical for highly introverted or stupid people. Both of which have in common is low social skills.

This.

Also leftie busybodies are the types that work themselves into moderator positions which helps them ban opposing opinions.

Good thing is, at least in my experience, I've noticed a lot of the type of people who go full soy on reddit are actually pretty reasonable if you talk to them without fear of downvoting or bans. Imagine that.

Eventually you realize that some minds cannot handle the truth even if they seek it out. Just trying to seek the truth is enough, it satisfies the emotional aspect of understanding. It lends legitimacy to delusion, because you can at least lie to yourself that you were fair.
Brilliant post, will rep


Not just with fitness but with anything. You need to be able to hear and understand uncomfortable truths . That transparency is only way you can improve

I dont mind that its soy. I absolutely cannot stand the hive mind that pervades that place, however.

Someone can make an absolutely logical point and if a few people decide to downvote it, everyone jumps on board. They value group thought more than they do logic.

The Reddit crowd is similar to the dumbest flock of birds that just follow each other around...

It is a place for social outcasts. I imagine most of them as being vorarephiliacs in their spare time and such perverts in that rank. The other bit left are LGBTs who seek attention.
Redditor intelligence can be boiled down to 'bar trivia' smart, but not 'make money and succeed in life' smart, and beliefs come from internet consensus - not real world experience.

Redditors are so smug that they have to be contrarian just to feel intelligent. They are one rung above ******** and traditional social media users maybe, but really arent any better

It's a liberal echo chamber. It also attracts a lot of young people, who tend to be liberal.

Let's be real here though, why are a lot of young people liberal?

Our corporate crony culture and current state of the union is breeding this type of behavior and liberal chitheads are capitalizing.

I mean fuark, my work just straight eliminated 401k contributions. We're a Fortune 500 company of white collar jobs and all new hires get ZERO retirement. No pensions. No 401k matches. No bonuses. No stock options. Nothing.

Imagine being 22 years old and:
100k+ in student loans from a public university
learn that you're on the hook to fund your retirement completely while your superiors have a fat pension waiting for them
spending 40%+ of your income on housing and still living with roommates
spending 10% of your income on medical insurance, despite rarely needing it
will likely never be able to own a home, but your mechanic dad's house that he bought for 40k is now worth 800k.
staring at 5%+ inflation with 2% raises
having little-to-no financial literacy because our educational system is fooked.
seeing your peers' jobs outsourced to chithole countries in the name of higher profits

We're absolutely fooking these kids and people who feel fooked typical lean hard left. This was the whole point of the Communist Manifesto. The "captains of industry" fook the working class until they revolt. They're fooking harder and harder every year.

If we want to fix the idiot liberals, we need to fix our fookin system.

Well, the main content creator, mod, and poster was Ghislaine Maxwell.
So, that pretty much tells you all you need to know...

They deleted a post and all the replies this week on Public Freakouts of a woman rightfully losing her chit that a dude was walking around naked in front of kids in the ladies changing room at a spa, and the spa fully supported him because he identifies as a woman.

Majority of the comments were in support of the lady, so Reddit just deleted everything and locked the thread

I would post a pic of him but he's my nephew so naaaa. True definition of a neck beard. Trump hater but has no interest in politics or economics. Videos games all weekend. could go on....

The karma system drives people away from reddit.

It not only encourages people to post pro-soy content, it also promotes soys to attack non-soy content. This is detrimental to everyone, especially the soys caught up in it. When a karma system encourages you to attack wrong think, this leads to hatred and anger. Very detrimental and harmful in the long term.

When the head cuck in charge at reddit came out and said that conservative content angered liberals and that it was a problem, the solution should have been to revamp the karma system and to moderate both sides that took things to far. Instead they just started aggressively removing conservative content and users. They even implemented "anti-spam" features that remove content from users that have negative karma. Guess who gets negative karma? People whose ideology is outside the group think.

Edit: here is an example of how auto moderation works on my states reddit which has a large number of liberals that downvote any conservative point of view:

Your comment has been automatically removed due to you having negative karma. This is done to prevent spam and/or trolls from posting on r/oklahoma. Once you have at least positive karma you will be allowed to post here.
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

Was downvoted to hell with the rest of the sub saying stuff like "anyone who works out is healthy in my book" and "dude, there is more to someones health than running pace".



Just a snippet but very representative of the attitude that permeates that website.
wow

I am pretty much the worlds worst runner and that's like my starting times after slobbing off cardio for years

I would hate to be told that I've met my potential as soon as I got off the couch.....

normal humans seem to have something, I don't know, like aspirations. They aspire to fulfill a hidden potential? Redditors aspire to be told they're winning for minimum effort.

Reddit is for people who hate their life and want to wallow in their misery with others.


Imagine being born iinto the western world. You live like a king. Imagine what kind of person would hate that.
