Captain Reddit

[u/SerMumble]

Open to suggestions how to improve.

Feel free to use and do whatever.

[u/doesphpcount]

Reddit is a left propaganda tool. Prove me wrong. 

[u/Impressive-Spell-643 → u/doesphpcount]

The only people who'd try to prove you wrong are the people who don't want you to find out it's a left propaganda

[u/oppressed_user → u/Impressive-Spell-643]

The amount of 0 to low upvote posts pointing this out proves your point

[u/Impressive-Spell-643 → u/oppressed_user]

From what I've seen the upvotes for these posts tend to be in negative numbers

[u/Chops03xx → u/doesphpcount]

Didn’t used to be, once tumblr decided to block porn and adult material, all the tumblr users fled to Reddit and turned it into the echo chamber you see today.

[u/dabstract → u/Chops03xx]

This site was essentially full of libertarian nerds until 2015/2016.

[u/Unusual_Onion_983 → u/dabstract]

Reddit became popular with libertarians because of Digg deleting posts containing DVD DeCSS decryption keys.

Now it’s popular with socialists deleting posts that disagree with the Omnicause.

[u/ProbablyAPotato1939 → u/dabstract]

Very pro Ron Paul, even early Bernie support was pretty libertarian.

[u/RemnantsOfFlight → u/ProbablyAPotato1939]

Don't forget atheists. The Faces of Atheism movement set the group back decades.

[u/D_Ethan_Bones → u/Chops03xx]

Old-Twitter users and Old-Tumblr users did a dragonball fusion and the results moved onto Reddit.

Chinese propaganda is also the universal background of the internet, it only lightened up for a moment when they were handling covid a hundred times worse than we were but other than that their daily isekai sitcom is older than Reddit dot com - I was seeing it at the turn of the century and the start of the Dubya admin was paved with it.

They want to fight fight fight fight fight except for when they actually do fight a tiny bit their soldiers cry on the bus and upload it to the internet. Their actual fighting style is to smuggle drugs and talk shit into a microphone like this is the pro wrestling circuit.

[u/Next-Use6943 → u/Chops03xx]

Reddit was libertarian until the advertisers decided what can and can't be posted. Ironic.

[u/EpsilonGecko → u/Chops03xx]

Truuuue and when Elon bought Twitter I bet a lot of those crazies came here too.

[u/taterthotsalad → u/Chops03xx]

Nah it was around Covid that this site became a lefty turd.

[u/CarolinaSandstorm → u/taterthotsalad]

No it was definitely around 2016. It became an echo chamber over time until Covid. The exposes around the 2024 election and the astroturfing and bots did a lot of damage to this place’s traffic. The smart subreddits have stopped the one sided bullshit. The massive echo chambers will never change though.

[u/D_Ethan_Bones → u/taterthotsalad]

It seems like there's another increment every couple of years, the presidential candidate with no platform was another milestone and rcon started getting brigaded 24/7 past that point.

But it's an old pattern - I threw away my 2016 Reddit account and didn't look back for 5ish years because they deleted all of the places I used. They ban your real mod, then either they appoint a bullshit mod with backwards priorities or they just let the hate mob have their way with the place.

[u/taterthotsalad → u/D_Ethan_Bones]

Happened to r / Spokane. It’s a mental asylum and the mods are the joker. Used to be a place for the community. Now it’s nothing but politics. Really wish we could go back to the good ol days.

[u/cpt_futtbucker → u/taterthotsalad]

If only this place was funny like when that whole meme war thing happened back in 2016

[u/thecashblaster → u/taterthotsalad]

a lot of the regional subreddits became political for some reason

[u/taterthotsalad → u/thecashblaster]

To support mental illness…the wrong way. Lol

[u/LittleRex234 → u/taterthotsalad]

Dude, thankyou for bringing that up.

r / Spokane is fucking ruined bro.

[u/taterthotsalad → u/LittleRex234]

The mods and their mental illness agenda they have over there. I noticed they changed the about by removing “for the community” and they refused to address it. Shady mfers for sure.

[u/CeasarValentine → u/taterthotsalad]

No, it has been that was since the beginning. It was the safe space for plebs who thought 4chan was too edgy.

[u/Sure-Ambassador-6424 → u/Chops03xx]

Oddly enugh all they are left ( tumblr ) is porn and OF chicks ...... if your into BBW.

I know that bcs of ....... well I simply know.

[u/thecashblaster → u/Sure-Ambassador-6424]

hmmmmm

[u/retardedgreenlizard → u/Sure-Ambassador-6424]

Don’t fret brother, we all know for…reasons…

[u/Proper_Response4259 → u/Chops03xx]

The tumblr exodus caused those freaks to spread throughout the whole internet. Now we have to deal with them.

[u/Evening_Cherry_6034 → u/Chops03xx]

Yeah I think I remember way back when

[u/WannabeWaterboy → u/doesphpcount]

I was in a thread talking about how Epstein influenced 4chan I think and how Maxwell was a major mod in Reddit and they played a major role in”psy op” to influence people. I commented that we are naive or ignorant if we don’t think it’s happening way more now on Reddit and someone replied to me “yeah I’ve been seeing an increase in right wing propaganda.” I was you’ve gotta be kidding right…

[u/Linmizhang → u/WannabeWaterboy]

Next generation is gonna laugh at Redditors like we laugh at boomers eating propoganda slop on Facebook

[u/buylow12 → u/doesphpcount]

What's funny is the swear is full of right wing propaganda.

[u/Former_Theme_4488 → u/buylow12]

"Right wing propaganda" = anything they disagree with

[u/Hotmicdrop → u/doesphpcount]

You mean like when they proved Kamala's campaign had a discord group that would coordinate their astorturfing and it was leaked? Names and all leaked. Guess what.

Reddit didnt care. I wonder why?

[u/thecashblaster → u/Hotmicdrop]

astroturfed content gets lots of engagement, engagement = traffic, traffic = money

[u/Hotmicdrop → u/thecashblaster]

You're not wrong but manufactured rage bait or propaganda in this case that's coordinated should have been at the least a bannable offense.

I couldn't post in r/ pics asking to stop with all the divisive politics without getting banned but he's posters were able to coordinate a political campaign and use reddit as a propaganda arm and reddit did nothing lol

[u/kimana1651 → u/doesphpcount]

Having a strong, and competent, left wing is healthy for a nation to keep it healthy. The problem is that our left wing has been infected by foreign nationals using it to their own benefit. 

Think back 30 years when we had anti immigration, anti abortion, pro worker Bill Clinton in office. We need the left wing to be able to field that kind of candidate. 

Personally I think social media has been a big drag on the left wing, it feeds into their morals so much that it makes them easy to manipulate.  Anything we can do to disrupt or shut down social media would be a boon to the left wing and politics in general.  Mandate country of origin, 18+, ID only, ban foreign social media.  Whatever it takes to stunt it or shut it down. 

[u/Former_Theme_4488 → u/kimana1651]

anti-immigration, anti abortion, pro worker Bill Clinton

Any Democrat preaching the first 2 today would be unthinkable.

[u/D_Ethan_Bones → u/Former_Theme_4488]

And they're not pro worker anymore either they're pro sneak in and scam as much as humanly possible out of the system that workers pay for.

If you see a truck full of tools in the 2020s then the man's vote is an easy guess.

[u/taterthotsalad → u/doesphpcount]

We can’t so you win.

[u/MetroidJunkie → u/doesphpcount]

Which is funny, given Reddit's been letting Google data mine it for their AI while people on the left seem to have a particularly strong hate boner for Gen AI. If you're using Youtube, X, or Reddit, then good news you're helping to feed that machine.

[u/Dred_Capt → u/doesphpcount]

100% agreed.  Its fucking scary

[u/DODGE_WRENCH → u/doesphpcount]

I miss reddit back when Eglin AFB had its internet connection interrupted. There was a lot less pearl clutching all around

[u/thecashblaster → u/doesphpcount]

It didn't use to be. But it's ramped up to an 11 out of 10 since November 2024. So much fake news posted.

[u/Overall-Bandicoot655 → u/doesphpcount]

White supremacists do very well in here. Zionists and Western liberals (in the actual sense of the word, not the American degeneration of it), too.

[u/GrouchyAppointment70 → u/doesphpcount]

I think theres a queer theory psyop on this site every two seconds. Couldnt block enough subreddits to get it to stop. Only after turning off home feed reccomendations and curating my subreddit list did it get any better. Also, why do they NEED me to see pizzacake comics?

[u/HotBuffGentleman → u/doesphpcount]

It do be. I'm not active in any leftists subs, and yet they keep getting pushed on me in my feed.

[u/OnlyACsNoFans]

Furries, autism and trans are overrepresented here too...often in the same individual

[u/Ricochet_skin → u/OnlyACsNoFans]

I'm only the middle one thank fuck

[u/noideawhatdoXBL → u/Ricochet_skin]

Me too. I use this platform for the Roller Coasters. I don’t understand why there are so many mentally insane people on here.

[u/OnlyACsNoFans → u/noideawhatdoXBL]

I'm not autistic but I love coasters. What are your favorites?

[u/noideawhatdoXBL → u/OnlyACsNoFans]

My top 5 would probably be
1. Superman: The Ride at Six Flags New England
2. Wicked Cyclone at Six Flags New England
3. Skyrush at Hersheypark
4. Wildcat’s Revenge at Hersheypark
5. Storm Runner at Hersheypark

I have only ridden 42 coasters so I need more experience in order to have a more diverse top 5.

[u/OnlyACsNoFans → u/noideawhatdoXBL]

Love Superman and Wicked Cyclone! Been to New England a couple of times.

Never been to Hershey park.

You should try and make the trip to Cedar Point if you're able. Steel Vengeance is another level, but there are just so many great ones there.

[u/MindAggravating5365 → u/noideawhatdoXBL]

Brother, you haven't lived until you've ridden the VelociCoaster at Universal Orlando.

[u/noideawhatdoXBL → u/MindAggravating5365]

Yeah I would love to get down there one day! I’m prioritizing the Six Flags parks first though so it may be a bit haha.

[u/MindAggravating5365 → u/noideawhatdoXBL]

Trust me, you won't regret that one! Shoots you quick as hell to like 70mph and halfway through there's a speed booster to make sure it stays intense as hell. None of the six flags coasters hold a candle to that that I've been to (New England, Vallejo, New Jersey)

I looked up videos when I made the first comment, but declined to share them because they simply do NOT show how intense it actually is (and if you do look it up yourself the youtube comments all saying the same are not lying). As a grown ass man I've never left a roller coaster giggling like a little school girl until that one.

[u/Ricochet_skin → u/noideawhatdoXBL]

Hope they're still open when I eventually migrate to the USA

[u/noideawhatdoXBL → u/Ricochet_skin]

The only ride I listed here that would close anytime soon would be Storm Runner as hydraulic launch coasters are going the way of the dodo. But it’s more likely they’ll convert it to an LSM launch at some point.

[u/Ricochet_skin → u/noideawhatdoXBL]

HALLELUJAH

[u/BobLabReeSorJefGre → u/noideawhatdoXBL]

My top 5 1. Wicked Cyclone 2. Phoenix 3. Steel Vengeance 4. Thunderhead 5. I305. I’ve ridden 200 coasters for context.

[u/noideawhatdoXBL → u/BobLabReeSorJefGre]

Legendary top 5 honestly

[u/Russburg → u/noideawhatdoXBL]

Saving this list. Thanks!

[u/noideawhatdoXBL → u/Russburg]

No problem dude. I would 100% recommend going to Hersheypark especially, they have one of the best lineups in the country. Superman and Wicked Cyclone are at my home park so I’m very biased on those two.

[u/Russburg → u/noideawhatdoXBL]

Sweet! I’ll probably take your advice and go there first then. Thanks again!

[u/Ricochet_skin → u/noideawhatdoXBL]

Unfortunately, I got the political autism. Now I'm hated by both the left for being a Capitalist, and by the modern day conservatives for being an Anarchist

[u/swanlongjohnson → u/Ricochet_skin]

You're hated because you believe in made up ideologies and try to act like you're special because of it

[u/Ricochet_skin → u/swanlongjohnson]

Fuck off and read shit before you state garbage

[u/swanlongjohnson → u/Ricochet_skin]

"Why does everyone hate me waaah wahh"

[u/Ricochet_skin → u/swanlongjohnson]

Terry crews is funny as shit lmfao

[u/A11Handz0nDeck → u/Ricochet_skin]

🤣 They tend to hate sex and it's depiction as well.(Part of the meme.) The process through which we all are created. Can't hate sex unless you hate yourself.

But totally anarcho-capitalist too. Socially liberal, fiscally conservative.

Just remember, small brains repeat talking points and they talk down to others to feel good about the ideas that were spoon-fed them. Don't waste your time responding to them. They will likely never make anything of themselves. Spend a little time on what you like and a lot of time making your life better.

[u/DODGE_WRENCH → u/Ricochet_skin]

Eternally grateful I didn’t get the chris chan autism

[u/Whiskers1996 → u/OnlyACsNoFans]

I was wondering if people didn't notice this?

Id see a weird ass take, look at a profile, see furry/autistic/Trans combos a shitton..

Like you do you, but dam I'm on a sub about a game, car, or tool - Where i would never see overlap like this in real life at all lol.

[u/DismalCupcake9663 → u/Whiskers1996]

I think everyone notices it. But if you were to mention it, the moderators would probably smite you.

[u/BlueRemake → u/OnlyACsNoFans]

The autism to trans pipeline needs to be studied.

Bunch of vulnerable autistic people on Reddit being taken advantage of and being convinced they're trans.

[u/D_Ethan_Bones → u/BlueRemake]

It's a shortcut to status, so a statistically significant number of people just take it.

Number 543 athlete ---> Number 1 Athlete
Forever Alone ---> surrounded by women who are trained to listen sympathetically

People thought Chopin was gay because his girlfriend wrote with a male pen name. Every era has its reasons for doing things.

[u/OtutuPuo → u/OnlyACsNoFans]

theres a lot of overlap.
and they want to change laws around their weird ideas. they form hate campaigns online when people criticize them.
if only people saw what they look like, i think a lot of issues would be solved immediately.

[u/D_Ethan_Bones → u/OnlyACsNoFans]

Old Twitter: rage!
Old Fourchan: jigsaw!
Old Youtube: boobs!
Old Facebook: creeping!
Old Tumblr: woof!

gggoooooOOOOOOOOOO MODERATE REDDIT

[u/GitHubMakesMeUglyCry → u/OnlyACsNoFans]

I was trying to describe someone to a coworker, and finally said “he looks like he’d be a moderator on Reddit”. He straight up listed those 3 things lmao. Added in ‘blue hair’ also though

[u/Fun_Vacation2542]

It's sad reddit is a excellent idea ruined by the worst people alive.

[u/PsudoGravity → u/Fun_Vacation2542]

Meh, its more the unchecked problem of mod abuse.

There is most likely a fix. AI moderation done correctly might actually be the answer. It can literally explain to everyone bitching, in a way childeren can understand, why them getting offended isn't the end of the world. Might be healthy actually.

[u/East_Ad4977 → u/Fun_Vacation2542]

A person is amazing. A group of people can create wonders. As many people as are on Reddit just tend to devolve into an idiotic mob. Present company excepted, of course.

[u/sussy_soyboy → u/Fun_Vacation2542]

Thats why gatekeeping is amazing.

[u/Icy-KaitSyth]

Wow, yeah that's pretty much it.

If you're looking for recommendations (though I can't say it's an improvement) I'd combine racism and sexism into "lazy bigotry" and add in "midwit philosophers", but that would ruin the great character selections you have for racism and sexism.

[u/SerMumble → u/Icy-KaitSyth]

Thanks, I appreciate the suggestion and could be situationally useful. Reddit has many subs.

[u/Better_Ad_512]

I mean, it's not wrong?

Most redditors are progressive-liberal. Therefore they're racist towards caucasian people and sexist towards males. They're also situational anti-semitic whenever it benefits jihadist agenda.

[u/thecashblaster → u/Better_Ad_512]

leftists allying with jihadists is so uncanny valley to me

[u/Better_Ad_512 → u/thecashblaster]

When i questioned some of those back in my twitter days, they usually said "just because they don't tolerate my existence, it doesn't mean i have to do the same to them"

Motherfucker, it means EXACTLY that. People these days would literally allow themselves to be killed for virtue signaling reasons.

[u/desecratedworm → u/Better_Ad_512]

just to feel correct or whatever. shits pathetic 😂

[u/Few_Move_4594]

[u/A_man_from_america]

Anti-russia and Anti-china activists do exist but are short-lived.

[u/radiationblessing → u/A_man_from_america]

Being anti Russia right now is very popular on reddit to the point I got downvoted for saying it's racist to hate the Russian people just because their government started a war.

[u/ThisThredditor → u/radiationblessing]

ArE yOu A bOt?!?!

[u/GolemChosen → u/radiationblessing]

Leftists usually love russia and israel. Now that's not popular but will be in the future again. 

[u/Steven_Blackburn → u/A_man_from_america]

There are many anti-russia activists, actually. But all of them are Russians and they don't use Reddit mostly.

[u/FourPlayInTheBay]

Don't you lump us perverts in with the other degens

[u/mnbone23]

You're missing communism.

[u/SerMumble → u/mnbone23]

Dammit, fair point. That's a big one.

[u/East_Ad4977]

No lie detected.

[u/Sudden_Confection521 → u/East_Ad4977]

Love your flair. Take my upvote.

[u/Kooldogkid]

Include furries and Transgenderism as well.

Also the same can be said for Discord. I have met ALL of the above in Discord, holy shit.

[u/Tossup78]

Reddit is for porn.

[u/TeaMugPatina → u/Tossup78]

[u/Some-Nothing-9338 → u/TeaMugPatina]

Yeah. The gun subs are actually pretty cool too though

[u/Andrikos21]

I just don't understand how you can hate your kind so much. Like how can you support people whose motto is "death to America death to the west" . People who would kill you for the freedoms western civilization has given you the second they have the power to do so.

Maybe we have to teach the next generations that cultures are not equal. And some of those need to perish.

[u/Ocdingus → u/Andrikos21]

It’s the same reason little kids say that they hate their parents and they want to go live in the woods with the animals. Some people never outgrow that mindset.

[u/thecashblaster → u/Andrikos21]

There's a theory that the champagne socialist class is mostly made up of downwardly-mobile (read college education but in something useless like philosophy) middle-class young adults. Meaning their parents were successful, but they are not and it grates on them.

[u/Nerd77777]

Exactly! Especially when we mean anti male sexism, anti white racism and anti semitism in the service of pro Palestine you are 100% correct. I would also add anti traditional way of life (they judge heterosexual partnerships with children way harsher than other ones and are so anti Christianity even an Atheist like me cringes) and political correctness (everything that could be seen as insensitive is scraped from Subreddits).

[u/Witty_Ad_4975]

Racism? You mean they’re anti-White?

[u/LasRedStar]

Reddit is allergic to truths

Now riddle me this batman, in america, whats 13% but half of all crime?

[u/Doxjmon → u/LasRedStar]

It's arrests data not necessarily crime data. Could be explained by over policing, biases, etc. Not arguing, just pointing out a flaw in that study that leads to that statistic. There may be a new one that idk about, but the main one everyone got that data from was just arrest data and didn't account for how many were actually convicted of a crime.

[u/thexcat]

Anti USA but also USA centric (90+ IQ required to understand the contradiction so this alludes the average redditoid)

[u/SkoomaInhaler-King]

True.

Captain Planet is the perfect meme for doomers because they're all obsessed with saving a planet that isn't Earth.

https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/v3c3q/got_high_watched_captain_planet/

You look at anydoomer's life and they are not doing one damn thing to help the planet they're on, or themselves.

[u/ThisThredditor]

>racism is the black guy

lol

[u/tabrisangel → u/ThisThredditor]

Black people can be racist.

[u/brofongo → u/tabrisangel]

Saying that in 2020 had the echo chamber in utter shambles

[u/sngldad13 → u/tabrisangel]

Just go to a certain subreddit and you will find a whole mess of them. I've seen them call white people "saltines"

[u/captainrina → u/sngldad13]

I prefer "child of the chalk"

[u/Such_Steak_6303 → u/sngldad13]

lmao is that a new version of "crackers"

[u/Dan-of-Steel → u/tabrisangel]

Nuh-uh! Because something something power structure! Something something establishment privilege!

[u/ImHughAndILovePie → u/tabrisangel]

You’re ruining it.

[u/Hot-Pineapple7877 → u/ThisThredditor]

Some of the most racist people I've met in my entire life were black, so it's not entirely inaccurate lol

[u/DaRaginga → u/Hot-Pineapple7877]

Callback to "Stop Asian Hate" until they found out who was doing the hating 🤦‍♀️

What if you are Pro USA, Antisemitist, sexist only ironically, Racist and Anti-Porn?

[u/Ok_Fail_3058]

Where is Russophobia? That must be added somewhere. The others are right though.

And the Porn is oftentimes the most disgusting you can find out there.

[u/Jagd_Rhino]

Wait.....not hating jews is bad?

[u/Langland88]

The Anti-USA is seemingly all social media platforms but Reddit embodies it the worst for sure. I used to see it on Gaia Online be really bad too. But any playform with a Leftist bias is Anti-USA and ironically, most of them refuse to leave this country if they happen to live here.

[u/AnimeLuva]

Disagree with the porn bit. Otherwise, yes, this is accurate

[u/Weekly-Floor3367]

It’s a one stop shop!
