What is going on on the website?! Before Chapo was banned, I enjoyed scrolling through main every now and again. Now I'm afraid my brain mght rot from all the Chuds. But it's not only regular subs that are going to hell. Every second post on anarchist or lib-left subs is about the Uhygur genocide or a general China bad. I know reddit is beyond repair, but the broken pipeline is very sad. When I found Chapo I thought it was a "the left can't meme" sub and thought "this but unironically" for a couple of days before I understood you are all just libs. I learned what left anticommunism is, I started to get involved with real theory and my wordview has widened so much. I wish younger Comrads could go through the same.

Thats it, that's my rant.

    Yeh, it wasn’t just chapo that got purged, it was so many left subs. Reddit wants their user base to be 80% libs and 20% chuds, and it looks like they got their wish. I haven’t looked at it since we got banned.

    Except porn. Sorry @VolcelPolice.

    Read the Art of War. Retreat is critical to guerilla warfare. Your enemies fight because of pride, you fight because of purpose. Keeping up a front there longer than necessary means we risk not fortifying safer ground.

    Not just China bad, but also a fuckton of unironic blue maga bullshit. r/COMPLETEANARCHY and r/AntifascistsofReddit have been particularly libby in the last month. r/DankLeft has flip flopped every other post, and we all know that LSC has been pure libshit for a long time.

        I mean, who would've thunk a sub for anarchists is, in reality, filled with fucking blue maga libs. Such a strange website.

    Sometimes I go to the true anon sub, but that's mostly lib qanon now.

    Otherwise, that place is essentially dead to me. I think they wanted 80/20 libs/chuds, but they got 20/80 at least in terms of post and comment creation.

    Reddit has been very bad for a long time. As far back as 2014 the "most popular city" was a US troll farm.

    https://old.reddit.com/r/Blackout2015/comments/4ylml3/reddit_has_removed_their_blog_post_identifying/

    Only subs worth visiting that aren't chock to the brim of Anti-Sino/Anti-Chinese/Anti-Communist/fucking chud propaganda

    old.reddit.com/r/Sino

    old.reddit.com/r/SendInTheTanks

    old.reddit.com/r/GenZeDong

    old.reddit.com/r/EuropeanSocialists

    The rest of Reddit can go die as far as I'm concerned

    Edit: Can't forget my boy old.reddit.com/r/FullCommunism

    That place has been quarantined for years at this point and still keeps chugging

    /r/GenZedong and /r/Sino are only places worth frequenting now, at least for me.

    It was important for your curated ecosystem within reddit.

    Social media is a plague on human psychology, I type into a hyper-bubbled reddit alternative.

    lol we were playing "reddit or stormfront" back in 2011 and when it started being popular it was almost all very lib programmers with a few conservative/libertarian programmers. then the digg invasion with dumb gamer 14 year olds made the comment sections on defaults complete trash and there's never been good discourse on main parts of the site since then.

    Lol was just thinking this scrolling through r/ironfront yesterday when the top post was just an anti-Stalin meme from r/neoliberal

    I just got downvoted in r/gamingcirclejerk for posting a Xi send the nukes meme

    It was always that bad you probably just avoided spaces where it was blatantly visible.

    I've stayed subscribed to defaults like the news subs and OOTL specifically to track the general trends. Its fucking bad, folks.
