    The day I saw Trump win I knew Reddit was going on the chopping block but even then, it’s been going downhill since 2016 with bots, bot mods, and language policing. Merely saying ‘fucking Luigi’ is a ban worthy offense and it’s absolutely asinine.

        I will never forget 2013 when Putin refused to sign an international agreement saying we won’t use AI in weapons and the rest of the world was on board with it.

      I received two platform bans in the last few months over the most asinine things. Hadn’t gotten a single one in nearly 15 years up until now.

        I used to have three accounts to manage groupings of subreddits until I was banned for racism for asking lib women to treat white dudes better so an Arab spring like incident doesn’t happen before Trump won.

            Yes but that’s not what that was about. It’s like I was trying to warn them, if you don’t treat men better the men will find a way to be treated better with or without your support and if they don’t have you to support them and keep them from their worst selves they may just choose to fuck everything up. History repeats itself.

              I’m sorry? You’re asking us to fix men? Maybe we’re sick of it. How pathetic to even justify such a thing

                I was gonna say no at first but you know what? Yes, in regards to not treating them like shit or passively discriminating against them is your civic duty to ‘fix’ them and keep them from being awful like it is men’s duty to look out women.

                Furthermore to be abundantly fucking clear because for some reason not a lot of women get this or think this what I mean, I am not saying go fuck incels, I’m saying what goes around comes around and the more you disempower and shit on men the more extreme the reaction against you will be.

                We can’t even start fucking public online groups without some feminist trying to shut them down while y’all are circlejerking about hating men. That’s a big problem.

                  So the plan for men is to beg those you’ve been oppressing for like… most of human history to be nicer to you?

                  The amount of coddling grown ass men seem to feel entitled to is wild. I got less coddling as a young girl.

                    No the plan is for you to get that you are a part of society and have a civic duty to treat your people well, that almost half of society is men, and you seem to think it’s okay to discount them. It’s not okay.

      I have been less active there since the API fracas, and since they announced they’re policing upvotes? I haven’t been active at all.

      Truth is this place will fall too. Unless someone can figure out how to protect against these take overs. The rich control the Internet just as easy as they control everything else.

      If this is successful, it’s only a matter of time.
