I wonder how long till Reddit admins get pissy over blocking the nazi site.
Huffman is just another american technology oligarch. It is in his interest to spread corruption and undermine rule of law.
If Reddit gamers are calling someone else ‘hateful’ and ‘toxic,’ you know it’s got to be bad.
Yeah, I’m not usually someone who’s anti-Reddit (in terms of the users, at least)…but the first sub I blocked was r/gaming, and the most negative users I ever interacted with were on r/AnimalCrossing and r/Nintendo.
The internet can sometimes be a trying place, where the biggest fans are also the biggest critics and can’t think critically beyond pure hate.
I actually think federation will help this a bit, as breaking up fandoms into smaller better moderated pockets should help guide more civil discourse.
So, not saying I was necessarily the good guy here; it was from things like when I’d make pins about a low-effort post’s title, or poke fun at other low effort content (something like a picture of the game being played somewhere).
I’m no stranger to downvotes or even sarcastic or rude replies – fair game! But this was the only sub I’d ever had people telling me to kill myself or that they hoped I’d die, lmao
The juxtaposition was amusing more than offensive, and the mods did a good job of cleaning it up, but it was still something pretty unique to the Animal Crossing subreddit for me! Lol
Lmao what happened? I only ever had good experiences on those subs but then again I haven’t used Reddit in a few years
Nintendo subreddit would occasionally seem to have Nintendo supporters jump on someone who said something critical about Nintendo, and also anti-Nintendo people who’d jump on people who said positive things about consumer-unfriendly things (like enjoying the NSO emulated games).
I also had a thread where people attacked me for being a pirate when I first got my Switch used because I was asking how to check if it was console-banned before linking my Nintendo account to it, lol
As for Animal Crossing, I had multiple people tell me to kill myself (or that they hoped I die) when I made puns based on typos in low-effort post titles, or when I poked fun at posts whose only content was a picture of the game running on a Switch against a scenic background.
I’m not saying I was necessarily the good guy there, and I don’t care about downvotes or sarcastic replies, but when people were negative in those subs, they were downright vicious, lol
I was more shocked at the juxtaposition than actually offended, and the mods did a good job cleaning that stuff up when I reported it. But truthfully, the sub went downhill after the first year or two of ACNH. Probably when it went from mostly hardcore players to casuals, haha
They really take the PoE cheating seriously.
Elon did a live stream playing the new Path of Exile game. His character was one of the top 20 ranked in the game. He has bragged about being the best on several games. Anyway, it was obvious to everyone watching that he knew very little about how the game actually worked. He finally confessed this week that he pays other people play the character for him, but also claimed that all the top players do it.
Oh, right. Yeah, I saw that video, he (allegedly) didn’t know the basics of map navigation and wouldn’t pickup good drops.
I’m willing to believe that some of the top players might do it, but how many of them brag to the public about how highly they’re ranked and how good they are at the game while barely knowing how to play it?
Let’s be real, who’s good enough at the game to be able to rank someone else’s account up to the top levels without themselves being at the top levels?
reddit replacing mods in 3 … 2 …
To be clear: It wasn’t the behavior of X or Musk over the past year that caused this, when he was already clearly being a Nazi pushing Nazi propaganda, it was the Nazi Salute.
I’m glad people are finally blocking X and I’ll take wins where we can get them, but this should have happened a long time ago.
The behavior of X did not change after his salute, it was already operating as a Nazi platform. My opinion of Musk didn’t change after seeing his Nazi salute, I already knew he was a fascist supporting the fascist party. My only surprise was that he was already willing to say it louder for the people in the back that he’s a Nazi.
It’s so frustrating that people are so unwilling to call fascists fascists until they go completely mask off. Musk can exhibit every Nazi behavior and people keep using X no problem, but it’s the fucking salute that gets them to finally block the platform.
So do people hate Nazis because of what they stand for? Or do they just hate the Nazi salute? Because by all available information it’s the salute that might get someone in trouble, all the other behaviors get ignored or excused.
I didn’t think I was still capable of being shocked but the nazi salute at the president’s podium did actually shock me a little. They fuckers are not even trying to pretend any more. I would hope that this shit makes people avoid musk-related products like they’re a rabid rottweiler. I kinda feel bad for people who bought a Tesla years ago though. Also, spaceX has to be a national security issue now.
They fuckers are not even trying to pretend any more
They’re still trying to pretend:
Alternative explanations for the gesture are plausible. Musk is socially awkward, and he may have been stiffly trying to throw love to the crowd for helping put Trump back in office. “My heart goes out to you,” he said after he did the gesture a second time.
All those “explanations” babbling about Musk’s “intentions”… aaah, when will they cut off the crap???
Like. Let’s pretend for a moment that Musk was totally trying to convey “my heart goes out to you” or crap like that. It doesn’t bloody matter - regardless of his “intentions”, the gesture conveys support to Nazism, and it’s the only sensible way to interpret it within that context.
