    I actually tried Reddit but I was singled out, cussed out, and insulted on almost every post I made, but then I’d see that everyone else was also doing what people hated on me for doing, except no one left angry hate comments on their posts when they did it. Not to mention moderators also falsely banned me and would punish me extra harshly or for something I didn’t even do. There was one time I actually told a moderator that banned me for something I “did” that I didn’t do it. He said “well I don’t know what to tell you. Respect people next time.” And I was so pissed off because I DID respect people and I still got banned for it. And it was a permanent ban, so there wasn’t even a next time. I soon left Reddit. It’s trash and 99% of all communities required, like, a billion karma to join. I have never seen anything so hostile to new users in my entire life. I’ve seen literal pedophiles get more respect than I did on that site.

      as far as the evidence of ghislaine maxwell being the controller of that account, here's what i remember off the top of my head.
      1. username includes maxwell, which is obviously ghislaines last name.
      2. the word "hill" in the username could reference an estate owned by ghislaines father.
      3. the user posted religiously, DAILY, for years, with a few exceptions
      3. a. during the occurence of big events in ghislaines life, like the death of her father
      3. b. at times ghislaine was known to be without an internet connection, ie, long trips on a plane
      3. c. after ghislaines arrest.
      4. the user commented multiple times about the differing age of consent in different countries.
      theres a lot more evidence. you can read the post about it yourself, google search "Here is the evidence that Reddit user MaxwellHill is Ghislaine Maxwell." and a reddit post will show up. if it doesn't show up, let me know.

    Another reason why small subreddits turn sanitized when they get bigger is because a lot of these small subs start getting the attention of not only the mods, but the administrators too. if you're on a subreddit that administrators do not like, or if the administrators feel like they're not being enough of a janitor to those subs, they will try to force you the mods of that sub to "do your job". If you are like me that believes in the older internet where you could pretty much say anything short of things that are illegal by law, you can understand how subreddits that refuse to follow reddit's arbitrary terms of service would end up turning to crap when they get bigger. The only reason why small subs escape this stuff is because no one knows about them. If something on a small subreddit happens to hit the "frontpage" and it's even 10% close to edgy, there's a high chance that one of the hall monitors that read reddit who is just a user will report that post. if you have enough chronically offended idiots report a post, it will eventually receive the ire of the administrators. If you're a mod and you refuse to listen to them because you don't believe in over moderation and think free, or you don't do your moderation actions quickly enough, then the administrators will simply kick all your mods out and replace them with janitors that will do their job for them.
    No matter what you do, even if you're a good mod the Reddit hyper janitor admins will get you instead.

    A Reddit exodus isn't going to ruin the socialmediascape. The rise of bots and AI is already doing that. Social media in general just sucks more with every passing year to the point where I'm actually getting my information by reading books, going outside and talking to people. I'm predicting a massive social media crash later in this decade, and using it will go down in history as an addictive, unhealthy habit like drinking and smoking.

    • @bane2201
      @bane2201 11 месяцев назад +13

      Same. I have all social media notifications off and all apps except RUclips uninstalled, so I only go on them when I choose to. And I've probably spent under 2 hours total on FB and Twitter this _year._
      Part of the issue is that it's nearly impossible to have constructive disagreements with people on social media. (And believe me, I always try my best to be levelheaded.) All people know about me is a pseudonym and whatever text I write. It's much more difficult to be a jerk to people in real life, not because people want to avoid violence but because they see the other person as a flesh-and-blood human, not a block of text that challenges them.
      I've done the same - read books, go outside more, talk to people IRL. I'm also starting to read more people's personal sites for entertainment, and I'm using search engines that return those more often. ("marginalia" is a good one.) It makes me feel like I'm using pre-2010 Internet again, before the 'net became Very Serious Business™ and Google started showing you nothing but ads and the most-visited websites (instead of most relevant).

    I am apart of a small subreddit that is pretty isolated all things considered from the rest of Reddit and we basically just recommend various films and tv shows to each other and discuss what we like about them. The person who owns it is also the only moderator and he’s barley ever online and it’s a wonder how the server hasn’t descended into chaos. No one literally had any idea any of this Reddit drama was going on lol. And I must say, all of these things aside, it is very easy to get caught up in the approval of other people’s opinions to the point where you’re scared to have an opinion of your own. It’s a scary to think about how swept up you can get in it, and If you have ever gotten to that point on any social media platform (Not Just Reddit) then it’s not good for you whatever it is and you need to quit immediately. That aside I have no problem with small Reddit communities who just like to share their common interests with each other.

    In some specific cases Reddit actually manually changed moderating staff and forced them to open certain subreddits back up after the 2 day boycott. I somewhat infrequently visit the r/programminghumor subreddit, and as a gathering place of mostly programmers, developers and sysadmins they were A LOT more negative towards the API changes for obvious reasons. As a result the blackout on that subreddit was actually going to be indefinite until reddit rolled back the API changes. They got strongarmed after 3-4 days and they're currently still boycotting the changes by employing the automod to force posts to have their titles written in camelCase and comments to have an Import statement, with a new gimmick added weekly, with the ultimate goal of making the subreddit borderline unusable and as frustrating as possible until they roll the API changes back, if ever.
