I posted a link to this community in an anti-covid lockdown sub-reddit and all I got was neck losers replying how they "Don't need a safe space". Even after explaining the benefits of an open and free place to discuss conspiracy related ideas without fear of censorship these fools can only reply with insults.
Fuck em' we're probably better off without those types anyways.
I try not to be a dick head on the internet but these types of people make it so hard, especially when you look at their profile and they turn out to be skinny fat nerds who probably only have power in this world when they use reddit, it's more sad than anything when you discover that.
Anyways, I'm hoping we can make this a more open space where instead of belittling we can have genuine debate if we disagree, I will say so far so good, people seem to be more mature here.
Reddit has very much become a site where one goes to to post their opinion among like-minded individuals to seek out validation and get upvoted for it. It never really was a good place for discussion because of the upvote/downvote system and they forced their demographic into basically being primarily Bernie Bros/hard lefties.
At this point main subreddits are astroturfed to high hell and you can't tell if you're actually having conversations with honest folk or actors that purposely try to push their views to the top. /r/conspiracy's days were pretty much numbered because of that, as any subreddit that pushes free thought and anti-establishment views will eventually get shuttered or silenced by Reddit.
Is this not a place for posting your opinion among like minded individuals?
No I fully expect this site to allow for a diversity of opinions.... which is the opposite of space for "like minded individuals".
