Reddit was always shitty from when

• The only reason the jailbait sub came down was do to main stream media pressure - if you missed jailbait was a “SFW” sub for posting reveling photos of other people’s children to be gooned over. It was voted “Subreddit of the year” in 2008

• the mod who ran jailbait was an ICON on reddit for years and he also modded dozens of other equally questionable subs

• The insane redditor backlash to them banning FatPeopleHate sub - which for those who missed it was a sub dedicated to posting photos of overweight people without their knowledge so the internet could mock them. This was mostly made up of - yes you guessed it - mostly photos of fat women getting mocked.

• Leaving up the BeatingWomen sub that is specifically for posting videos of women getting beat up for 10+ more years after jailbait came down.

• leaving up the Creepshots sub, a sub dedicated to upskirt and down-shirt photos of unsuspecting women, for YEARS and only taking it down due to to it hitting the main stream news and forcing their hand. This sub was also modded by the Jailbait mod.

• the RAMPANT sexism and racism as thinly veiled intellectualism that has gone on for DECADES

• Ghislaine Maxwell was a moderator on worldnews - I cannot back this claim up so I am removing it.

The API thing and forced logins is probably one of the least shitty things this site has done.

The amount of AI generated content on Reddit is egregious.

@carnage4life big tech never wanted me anyway. LLMs are not the only possible future.

@paul but think about how many people there are with more money than sense!

The original demographic was male, 20-40, geek. Conversations were pretty mild, very respectful.

Only if you were also a 20-40 yr old man.

Previous Seattle police chief, Carmen Best, was on that Axon AI ethics board (long history of our cops working with/for Axon) and she actually didn't resign when the rest of the board said Axon's ethics were not tenable.

“Look, I have known Chuck Schumer for a very long time. Actually, Chuck and I grew up in the same neighborhood, went to the same elementary school,” Sanders told “The Weekly Show” host Jon Stewart. “Do I think we need new leadership, which is going to move the Democratic Party in a much more vigorous way to protect the needs of working families? Yes, I do. Absolutely.”

@coopartisans Can't see shit because you're still not including alt text. Gravely disappointing.
