Random transphobia in there can fuck right off
Greentext
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
4th item is most likely referring to r/conservative as well which means they're also mad they can't participate in the hate chamber
Eh probably not, I used to get messages all the time saying "Oh you were subscribed to or posted in r/thisbullshit so we went ahead and banned you." even though I didn't even remember subscribing to or posting in said subreddit
Also Reddit's policy is officially that you cannot be banned from one subreddit for something that happened in another. This policy is so god damn ignored, that you'd think it was an officer's oath to serve and protect.
Yeeeeeaaaaah, when I read the bit about narrow talking points being allowed, I knew the author was either going to have a good point about Reddit's tendency to circlejerk, or be a bigoted piece of shit. Not really shocked it's the latter.
They're coming from 4chan. It was obvious how it was going to go just by the format of the post, before reading a single word
Random? That or some other bigoted bullshit was forecast to come from the third sentence.
They really buried the lede with that one, huh.
Indeed, one thing I love about being trans is that it gives me a radar for if someone is being based or just an asshole.
If I detect transphobia I realize it's just assholery.
"Everywhere I go smells like shit."
Had me until the transphobia
It explains some.of the earlier stuff too.
He's active on right-wing hate subs, so he's banned from the remaining civilized subs.
Fake: anon hates reddit because they have jargon (every language has it)
Gay: women can and do have dicks, gtfo with transphobia
The jargon thing is pretty rich coming from the most jargon-dense place on the internet
The fact anon used IPA as an example in the context of "acronyms they had to go look up the meaning of" says a lot about them, ngl.
The tacked on casual transphobia finishes painting the picture of the sorta person they are.
I was confused when I read the transphobia part, then I remembered this was 4chan and cringed
Yeah everyone knows about the IPA
"I was sucking my wife's cock the other day, and it reminded me of this International Phonetic Alphabet I had recently!"
The problem is that 4chan is too degenerate and reddit is too, well... reddit. Unfortunately Lemmy is far from perfect as well.
Reddit is populated by Bill Maher flavored liberals, 4chan is populated by Asmondgold flavored cockroaches, Tildes is populated by approximately seven users (but they're all pretty cool), and Lemmy users are smart with tech and stupid with everything else
Lemmy is more liberal than left, that's my problem with it. You will get hate for saying very reasonable opinions just because it goes against certain narratives. Better yet, just spit straight facts and you will still get hate, like this: economic class matters more than race for nearly all aspects of life, and a considerable number of primarily-racial factors would also be solved by eliminating poverty and reducing overall inequality.
Now watch the comments roll in.
Yup, I mean read the other replies justifying murder under this comment and being upvoted. It's fucking insane.
Lemmy is just the right amount of degenerate.
I disagree, on one hand people are really easily offended and on the other you have blatant open pedophilia among the anime communities and people calling for physical violence. It might be "just right" if you agree with the majority of people here. If your views are more moderate and nuanced, not so much. Context and intent does not seem to matter here.
Addendum: This isn't even anyones fault specifically, but of human psychology. Read about tribalism and social sorting, it is depressing as fuck. If you disagree with somebody your brain automatically puts them in the "enemy team" and attributes everything you consider evil or negative with them, whether you like it or not.
Well, it's a mixed bag. There are those who want to house the homeless, and there are those who want to house the homeless in tents made of landlord skins.
Hey, they'd finally be useful for something!
Well, physical violence against fascists is always justified. First they will come for the radicals, then they will come for the moderates, then they will come for the rest, and there'll be nobody left.
The only good fascist is a dead one. That is my view.
these people think women can have dicks
There it is. I was suspicious of this person's politics from the "virtually every topic known to man".
Yup, I saw that first part and thought, "Ahh, 4chan, where people think reddit is too woke."
I hate how much over reach the mods have. Reddit doesn’t want to pay them so they let them have absolute power in their subs and thousands of people are punished because the mods wife cheated on him with his brother and he’s having a bad week.
I was banned from the whole site because a mod got mad that I reported someone for abusive behavior that said mod agreed with.
I got banned because I said “1 like = 1 wank” in r/entertainment about a pornstar that had died. I thought it would be fitting but I guess I was wrong.
I wish there was a board where people would have the ideology of the left but without bring so triggered by anything.
Just no concept of humor as a coping mechanism.
It seems like you are getting either one extreme or the other. I'd be fine with no extremism on either political side and more rational moderation.
Sir this is Lemmy. People are even more up their butts here than Reddit
I've had the fortune to post on niche micro-imageboards like that, irreverent but not hateful.
They just have to stay small otherwise the classic issue of "Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they're in good company" arises and now you can't post pictures of black people without a chance of triggering the trolls.
As AVGN once put it, it's like choosing the dog shit that is all mushy and wet that has been in the shade all day, vs. the dog shit that has dried out in the sun across the street. Yes, the dried out dog shit is still better to step in, but it is still dog shit.
Stalinist approach
Capitalist prole looking at a private media institution managed by unpaid laborers intent on maximizing profits for a gaggle of overpaid administrative flaks and their indolent shareholders: "God damn, this is like when the Russian guy ran a Communist newspaper."
Nevermind that these people think women can have dicks
Anyway, here's why Reddit is broke. Too. Many. Trans-Friendly. Leftists. Amirite, folks?
Fucking 4chan. Just stay dead already.
I've found some of the more shit post focused communities to actually be useful (or at least I did back when i still used Reddit).
PrisonHooch had more helpful advice and recommendations than HomeBrewing; PoliticalCompassMemes actually allowed space for Leftists to debate the Far-Right; Cremposting was where you went to discuss your tinfoil hat theory's on the works of Brandon Sanderson; etc. (I know there was a dozen or so of these I used to lean into, but those are the three that immediately come to mind).
What is wrong with women with cocks? I find them very hot.
Can't wait till I see the greentext screenshots from 4chan about trying Lemmy only to discover it's just Reddit. This site is the ultimate "we're not Reddit!"
Looks inside
Perfect description.
I got banned from unpopular opinions and a bunch of other communities on dbzer0 for activity not on that community. We're slowly turning into Reddit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Given that, according to your comment history, you think "homosexuality is morally wrong", I don't think you're going to find much sympathy here. On the whole, Lemmy has little patience for regressive ideology.
I never had to write my political manifesto to join a community on Reddit either lmao
