Well, they own the means of production, they were winning by default.
It doesn’t mean we can’t do a little trolling. By letting them crackdown on their own assets, I’d wager, just like any other insurgency, for every 1 rebellious subreddit that gets whacked, 1 or more will come into smack back.
I didn’t necessarily mean anything like that, but I’m confused on what creating new subreddits would do to weaken the moderator strike?
I think they’ve bought themselves time but shit the bed in the process. Their crackdown has been largely negatively seen by the userbase and they didn’t address any of the concerns the strike had while making it worse for that userbase. They’ve passed a few subreddits off to scabs, but now they’re stuck doing the same job in worse conditions with a more hostile community. That’s at most a bandaid solution until the next wave of strikes comes. I think those will happen either when they crack down on one of the silly strikes the big subreddits are doing which users think are fun or when they go public and have to further restrict things. The vibe of the website is different and I think it’s stuck in a negative feedback loop that it probably won’t recover from.
Your comment reminds me: know any good scabbed subreddits to troll? I’m thinking posts that are debateably allowed, and then having ChatGPT rules-lawyer for me over everything, as publicly and sensationally as feasible. I’m open to suggestions, but not willing to spend more than a few minutes a day molotov-cocktailposting
Well it’s pretty easy to win when your users never leave the site.
Well when your organized opposition tells you that they will give up in three days of course you win
I haven’t had an account for a few years now but I scroll the front page of non-logged in. A new crop of subs have been elevated and the biggest trend I see are a bunch of “look at my picture, am I hot?” type things 🤢
Yeah and the insane thing about those subs is they always, ALWAYS without fail, demean the women who post there. To the extent that I doubt any women are posting their own pictures, if only to the ones that don’t require verification (like truerateme). So chances are that the vast majority of pics you see there are posted by loser men who got rejected and ripped a pic from an innocent woman’s insta without her consent.
The truerateme sub is run by an actual hard-core incel. Read their rules and check out the comments the dude makes about “rule infracting ratings” (as in rating people “too high” lmao).
They have an entire physiognomy guide and a ratings chart that contains the “correct” ratings.
They put people universally considered attractive in the “below average” range because their infranasal mesotunnel has a sharp angle or whatever that shit means lmfao
Strangely, the example of average woman full of unattractive flaws that they use is Brie Larson, wonder why that is?
Half the users say incredibly mean spirited demeaning shit about any women that does not look like their dream anime doll girlfriend, and the other half are straight up simps that do not know how to act like a normal person and will hit you with the most awkward “m’lady” style flirting you’ve ever seen.
Except for the true rate me one, that’s just full of hardcore incels.
Yeah lol wtf. Weirdest one was this women asking if she was ugly and talking about being bullied at school back in the day, and basically everyone in the comments was like “Nah you’re really pretty just wear fitting clothes, you’d do well in dating”. To which the women’s response response was “any women with a pulse can do well in online dating, I want a fulfilling relationship”.
Just extremely weird all round. How is going on a subreddit about looks going to help with relationship advice lol. I guess it’s a good confidence boost? But even then some dumbass redditor is bound to say you’re ugly because you don’t look like a redditors dream imaginary anime girlfriend or something, and erase all the positive feedback.
