Went over to Reddit and that was a mistake.

Reddit sucks. I will admit I visit for the r/wahoostipi baseball sub, but I feel shameful doing it.

It does does suck giant donkey balls. I never went over when voat was at its prime and I prefer the low key nature here but there are some things that just don’t thrive outside of big popular sites like Reddit.

I love how the mod calls r/AnthonyBourdain “his” sub like some overlord on what can and cannot be said about Bourdain. What a piece of shit.

Sigh, I fell dirty too after my visits there. Guess I’ll just have one side conversations with myself about Asia and #metoo.

Edited

I gave a pretty in-depth comment to an article posted here but didn’t feel this community wanted more discussion of it. I was looking to get to talk to a large group of people interested in the case, Reddit has that large group but now even they are being close to censored.

Edit: I also wanted to read comments from Bourdain fans

I go to Reddit for the technical subs, and to r/all for kitty gifs. But anything that's in the news I don't even waste my time. And make a comment? Fugetaboutit. If you say anything that is even a little non-PC you get skewered immediately. And on a completely different note you all are faggots. Gay faggot nigger queers.

I don’t have an account there anymore. I almost made a throw away to talk about the case but couldn’t give Reddit my ideas or thoughts.

I like sissypuff, you phuking fag!

What is it you want to say about the Asia Argento and Anthony Bourdain #metoo case?

[–] Hitchens [OP] 2 points (+2|-0)

Not that I personally have a ton to say, I was looking to lurk at comments. There are so few comments on this site and Reddit with that large userbase I can easily lurk and research. I wanted to read likeminded pissed off Bourdain fans. Soon that Reddit sub will be censored because one power mod thinks talks of Asia will last forever and have no merit in the sub.

My favorite comment from the thread I posted

Anthony Bourdain would never in a million years sided with censorship on any level. The fact that you are trying to sensor a subreddit bearing his name is not only hubris of the highest order but a total and complete insult to the man this sub is dedicated to. If this rule stands, I'm tossing this sub like over done steak.

That's precisely the kinda moderation I dislike. (As discussed in your earlier thread this morning). I'm of the opinion any mod or sub owner should just let it go where it goes, as long as the content is legal, of course, and not spam. Sooner or later it all comes around again. I mean what's the harm if you have a sub for cars and someone mentions a motorcycle, then others chime in. No one's hurt ... it isn't life or death. Some mods take their role far too seriously, acting as if they 'own' a sub and it's content. As far as I can see, that's never the case.

It’s very upsetting and the more I think about the more enraged I get. One, one fucking mod is speaking for 5,000! There was no poll just a statement of intent without review. He refused, absolutely refused to accept criticism for his post.

I never was 'really' a redditor, so I can't come at this from their perspective. When I first retired I was looking for something internet related to waste away a few hours here and there. I found Reddit, spent about a week or two cruising through their subs, and the few times I ever commented, got my a$$ kicked by what I thought of as pure idiots. If you don't want to hear another opinion, then why should I bother wasting my time with you, was my thought. So I jumped off and looked for alternatives. I found Voat and never looked back. I'm not a far right loon, but I do align right, so Voat was more my style. Of course all good things come to an end, and I moved onto Phuks, mostly due to Voat mismanagement issues.

Now as far as Voat or Phuks, I don't think either have large enough user bases to get any real discussion going. Me, I enjoy commenting on something of interest, but just to a point. After I've said what I'm going to say, I'm pretty much done. I don't have the time or the temperament to go on endlessly on any given subject. I simply state my opinion ... if someone doesn't like it, fine ... but I refuse to go on endlessly about it with someone trying to convince me otherwise. From the little I saw of Reddit, they allow their moderators far too much leeway in operating subs. The whole 'power mod' thing is a cancer. Though Reddit is quite large in comparison to the others, I think they lose many users over that crap. And many more just go there to see the other side's opinion or to find niche subs they don't have access to otherwise, but all the while avoiding the cancer at the site's core. The inflated egos.

ive been following via TMZ. although, @goatsshadow called this once Anthony killed himself.

i didnt believe it until now. Still unsure what to think about it. but, she fucked a minor and paid him to keep quiet.

thats a total 'no no' in my books.

The level of censorship on reddit has been beyond 1984/China levels of oppressive. I've made only like 4 comments in the last 3 months and that was specifically to poke at people in a way to make people scream but yet not be censored. There's a private sub I used to go to there that I won't even go to anymore because I refuse to generate content that drives traffic to the site. Reddit has become 100% toxic to anyone asking questions or making comments that go against (or question) anything radical left.

The same Anthony Bourdain that paid a rape victim to keep quit ?

Went over to Reddit and that was a mistake.
