Reddit is just another shining example of why censorship ultimately destroys everything.
A censor is someone who thinks they should know more than you.
They not only believe they should know more than you, they already made sure you will no longer know.
Knowledge is the enemy of communism and Zionism.
If your side only becomes persuasive when you ban criticism, that’s a strong indication that your side is wrong.
Zoroastrianism predates them. And it's very likely that wasn't the fist one either since Göbekli Tepe dates back to 11K bc and it doesn't take 10000 years to start thinking there is only one god.
the thing is reddit is still too big too fail, I thought since the donald and nnn ban ,people will flock out of reddit en masse but turns out only few people come here
More came a lot left after the weirdness happened
Which weirdness do you speak of?
They have won, and you have lost.
and once they win? meaning the left? they will have served their purpose and will be lined up against the wall and shot
We will be shot, too. Make no mistake.
But I would rather be shot while shooting back, with my flag behind me, than on my knees.
dont register your gun or apply for any cards. they will use it against you!
I won’t even get a library card. Fuck them. I just walk in and take any book I want, they have shit security
The Democrats are pawns. In the early 21st century people like Bush outdone them.
We're closing our sub. Farewell. (self.WatchRedditDie)

The r/WatchRedditDie moderator team regrets to inform our community that we have, in fact, watched Reddit die and, as such, will move into an archived mode. This company continues strongly with Chinese money and mystery investors, but it has systematically abandoned all its founding principles in search of a massive payday in the form of an IPO. Indeed, Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian have gone so far as to renege on their promise of listing Aaron Swartz among Reddit, Inc's founders. Such an egregious breach of contract - only performed once their agreed-upon co-founder no longer walked the earth - could only be carried out by immoral individuals acting in fundamental bad faith. In this way and so many others, Reddit is dead.
Reddit is a leader in nothing good and everything seedy. Big Tech has led society down a hole that any objective observer can say has made the Internet far, far worse. The discussions that were allowed in 2005 cannot be had except in the most extreme corners today. This has fostered some of the worst in humanity. Religious and anti-religious zealotry, politics with violence, glorification of disease-based deaths, glorification of homicides and suicides. Entire networks of the Internet are devoted to all of these things - and they're growing. With no pushback from broader minds, we suffer the consequences of Big Tech's offshoot echo chambers. Reddit has positioned itself as one of the biggest proponents of this sort of world. Had it done this from Day 1, no one would have ever heard of it. The presence of WatchRedditDie no longer serves a purpose. It began as a protest against Reddit, Inc's acquiescence to Germany's demands of censorship. It moved into becoming a space that solely moderated based upon the explicit rules of the content policy - nothing more. That invited racism and hateful posts/comments, but Reddit allowed it.
But as the content policy evolved, so did WRD. Yet that wasn't enough. Soon, Reddit staff began to make vague demands while refusing to answer specific questions. The goal was clear: either WRD would become systematically neutered or it would run afoul of some hidden rule. Worse yet, the sole citation for why these unique rules had been created was the history of WRD - that we moderated according to their own content policy without giving them further free labor was cause for punishment for the WRD community. All moderator efforts to shift with the sands of Reddit staff were met with obstinance and continued bad faith behavior, unfortunately.
Reddit is not a place for open discourse. It is not a place for good, reliable, or quality information. It is not organic and it is not genuine. The inauthenticity of its content is a reflection of its inauthentic leadership and staff. Everything it once stood for is as alive as its co-founder Aaron Swartz. If it ever makes money, it won't be due to some positive contribution to society or the Internet. It will be because its current CEO and 2 of its 3 founders - Huffman and Ohanian - are greedy. Rather than create something useful for more than bad memes and various governmental propaganda (with plenty of untamed CSAM mixed in), these bad-faith actors have foisted yet another Big Tech corporation onto the social and political landscape, and its only goal is to make money on Wall Street.
On behalf of our mod team, we have been constantly targeted by Admins, who have acted unprofessionally and in bad faith. We have been forced to enable hilariously strict restrictions for the users of this subreddit, and even then Admins kept finding more ways to give this subreddit stricter restrictions. We have noticed a lot of complaints about your messages being automatically filtered, and ironically enough, that's something that this subreddit was trying to fight against. If it wasn't for the Admins, we would have never set such filters for this subreddit. We were forced to keep these restrictions, as we were threatened with account suspension otherwise.
Admins' unprofessionalism is really glowing on this site. They are unresponsive and incompetent. As an example, one of the moderators in another subreddit got their moderator powers removed from the subreddit by Admins themselves because that said moderator didn't read the modmail he was given. The funny thing? That said moderator didn't even have modmail permissions to read Admins' messages. You don't need to be a moderator of a right-leaning subreddit to be aware of Admins' incompetence.
It has definitely been an interesting run with this subreddit and with its members. Unfortunately, we are permanently closing this subreddit and letting it be archived. Please join our Discord server at https://discord.gg/rgtDrzUpBq for further communication. For now, we are unsure for how long the Discord will be kept around.
The Internet is objectively worse than it has ever been and Reddit has helped make that so. Farewell, friends.
Swartz was forced onto Huffman and Ohanian by Paul Graham as a condition of getting funding, as well as calling him a founder.
WRD was dead the second the jannies there started cucking themselves for the admins.
Die on your feet you faggots, you died on your knees instead. You should've taken "This community was banned for hate speech" with pride.
They win once again as always. They are working on this place, too.
Yes. Have you noticed how severe its getting here? Corporis is so bad he is taking up almost every thread slot on the front page or 2... this is obvious raiding we are taking.
Call out what you notice. The account you mentioned doesn't blip my radar often.
Bro, I know. The posts on the front page of this site are getting more and more cucked.
As long as they put everyone into exile, they already won.
That's why I'm here. It's been clear for a while that platform is fucked.
Yes, and expand that. You dont have to create a Charles Manson. Just just need to create an environment when a Charles Manson could thrive and wait.
Good. A couple of years ago, I killed my 11 year old reddit account. I was a fairly early user, well in advance of Digg going to shit. When the Digg people came over, the downward spiral began. I was notified that I would be unable to post in one subreddit (that I had hardly ever visited) because of something I said in another subreddit. Now that's some bullshit and it was the last straw.
Reddit has been dead since Pao at least. You fags...are fags. Retarded fags
I just got banned for a week for saying Gay people should learn how to read the word faggot without needing to lose their shit and ban people.......the entire platform is retarded.
I haven't see one half decent post on that entire site that hasn't been cross posted to some other place for years. I think it died in 2015 officially.....
2012 was the last good year I remember....maybe 2013....
But it hasn't been fresh and truly edgy since before 2012....
Then it circle jerked itself to death that by the time 2015 rolled around....BLM came in and distroed the entire place in one month.
go to sitescroll
modern forum that is totally free speech. no bots, censorship or anything. head on over. reddit sucks anyway
I don't think reddit is really alive.
Like 50% of twitter is bots (Not even close, I imagine 90% is much more accurate according to a lot of reports and plain logic.)
I think reddit is even further from actual users than that, 90-95% bots, both the ones we know are bots, and the algorithm bots designed to silence right and push left.
But reddit will be fine, because the one real thing left on reddit, titties. Real titties, anime titties, amateur titties, titties galore.
I only go there to fap. I come here to read
I'm permabanned from Reddit and Twitter.
It already is racist, and sexist.
Against normal white people.
He already said normal
If anyone still believes in anything but humanist nihilism (i.e, hope, love, life, God etc), this is the proof that they should abandon it and face reality.
it's less being new age nihilism than it is acknowledging reality that you did NOTHING and will pay the price.
