Why is reddit outside this sub so unhelpful?

FriedinAlaska · 2024-06-27T08:17:26+00:00

Most top subs are moderated by the same dozen or so people or their alts. Say anything against their beliefs, your comment gets removed and you're probably banned across every sub they moderate. There are also several bots that automatically ban people across hundreds of subs if they post on so-called "problematic" subs. No need to guess which politicial affiliation the bot operaters adhere too.

One of the most eye opening things someone can do is go to a top sub and use an alternative Reddit client that lets you see removed comments. Oftentimes you can see that 1/3 of the comments are manually removed by mods, and you'll have to really stretch your interpretation of the rules to understand why they were removed.

Let me tell you the tale of reddit 5+ years ago. There were all sorts of subs sympathetic to men and men's rights. They were systematically taken down via various methods by misandrist groups. The same types have tried many underhanded tactics to get this sub taken down as well. Thankfully it still exists.

mr_ogyny · 2024-06-27T06:55:33+00:00

Reddit draws in misandrists.

I think a lot of them migrated from Tumblr around the time they banned porn on there.

aigars2 · 2024-06-27T07:53:16+00:00

If you're a man and you have a problem. You're a misogynist and it's politics now.

BlockBadger · 2024-06-27T08:34:26+00:00

Stick to small subs with very specific objectives. Anything mainstream is just cursed.

Koush · 2024-06-27T10:35:27+00:00

Intense moderation by very biased people.

Digital environments will never thrive for debate as long as the status quo exists which is:

My opinion: Truthful, compassionate and facts

Your contrary opinion: Misinformaton, evil and bad studies (Banned for violating rule 2: """BE KIND""")

Social media is run by specific people who design their algorithms to deliver certain world views and sets of beliefs. It's really that simple.

Reddit is run by people who vehemently oppose men.

Fickle-Cartoonist466 · 2024-06-27T07:29:30+00:00

r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates is a similar sub. But yeah, I get what you're saying. The "Reddit Hivemind" is a real thing.

ApprehensiveMail8 · 2024-06-27T11:39:39+00:00

Perhaps a better question is why is this sub so helpful?

I think it's because, to be here, you have to have genuine, unconditional love for your fellow man (gender neutral usage).

For the most part, we have no desire or aims to manipulate or change anyone, with the exception of those unwilling to stop trying to manipulate or change others. We just seek acceptance and connection and to be a calm in the storm.

wroubelek · 2024-06-27T08:00:09+00:00

I don't know if I have an answer. It's a sad state we're in, where our societies have built this victimhood narrative around women's problems while men's problems either go completely unrecognized, or get laughed off. We as men need to learn to articulate our problems to society in a non-confrontative manner, which will ensure we get seen and not dismissed.

On the flip side, it's great you find this sub welcoming. Keep posting and let's share experiences and insights, this (almost) always helps. 👍

YourEnemiesDefineYou · 2024-06-27T11:02:41+00:00

r/itsthatbad has some angry men but generally you'll be accepted there even if you don't agree with the passport bro movement.

It's politics, women can do no wrong therefore men can do no right these days. Talking about our problems is wasted time we could be talking about their problems and they don't like it.

terramir3 · 2024-06-27T08:58:32+00:00

Hey honestly I have a similar problem, I can't post crap to any forums because I made the mistake of telling a feminist she was wrong I got so much negative post karma I can't post legitimate questions to engineering subreddit's because my karma is too low it sucks. All because I told the truth. 😭

GodHand7 · 2024-06-27T13:21:29+00:00

Its the biggest leftist echo chamber out there and if anyone has researched what Musk had found during the twitter take over was that it was heavily moderated to silence any view that went against the "right" side of history, its probably worst here, also the worst degenerate porn is here like necrophilia for example and this can attract many nasty deranged people

pissed_off_elbonian · 2024-06-27T10:50:31+00:00

Anonymity + assholes… they like reddit.

RevolutionaryCry7230 · 2024-06-27T17:18:30+00:00

I am European and many of our values are considered too left wing by Americans. However, on several occasions I have either been banned or warned because of some comment that does not fit in with the 'fashionable' modern narrative where things which are wrong / make no sense / use puzzling language / are unscientific are held as the only acceptable opinion.

JackTheVlad · 2024-06-27T11:46:11+00:00

Has anyone else experienced being banned from one sub just because a bot detected that I'd posted on this sub? Because that happened to me recently. It told me to delete the posts and contact a mod.

63daddy · 2024-06-27T14:02:31+00:00

I agree things get very different outside this sub, but still, I make a point to post elsewhere. We are preaching to the choir here. (Which has its place), but to see change we need others to thjnk about the discrimination men face.

If I go to a higher education sub and argue college men deserve due process, I’ll get hammered on, but hopefully someone who is open minded will injustice.

9chars · 2024-06-27T15:31:29+00:00

femnazi's have taken over the web. its the new social order apparently

rahsoft · 2024-06-27T20:25:56+00:00

i would argue that reddit appears ( to me at least) to be comprised of two kinds of subs.

the useful ones, gardening, cooking, ideas, maps, men rights( the thought-provoking stuff) etc

2.. the mental floss that rots your brains( including the sub you know I can't mention), but might keep you entertained for a little while before you realize "sh*t, where has the time gone".

you are posting in group 1.

the haters the controllers etc reside in group 2. i say reside in, which means but not in all of group 2

Snoo20855 · 2024-06-27T16:10:01+00:00

Most of reddit is like this, at least in terms of a lot of the more popular subs. There are even examples of people getting banned from other subreddits just for being active in this one. So it’s not even a bias, it’s more like an outright hatred for places like this which makes me even more happy that subs like this exist.

Local-Willingness784 · 2024-06-28T02:20:54+00:00

just to play devils advocate, the braincels sub and the original redpill and mgtow subs were fucking wild, you can still get some of that insanity on purple-pill but still, with how sanitized everything has to be for investors, given that this site is on the stock market, or at least has adds, it means that they have to pander to the most vanilla/mainstream/inoffensive crowd possible, which is kind of what we have on the popular subs.

Sinister_Saiyans · 2024-06-27T13:00:11+00:00

Don’t let outside factors out of your control affect you. All you can control is yourself. Nothing else. Be happy my brother

HelloFuckYou1 · 2024-06-27T20:58:48+00:00

one thing i have realized is that reddit has become another vagina-sucking cave.... anything male related will pretty much get you nowhere at all

YuushyaHinmeru · 2024-06-27T19:46:22+00:00

Reddit is a cesspool of fucking morons. It's not just gender stuff.

Unless you get into something really niche like the sourdough subreddit, people are just assholes.

And this sub only feels different because you agree with it. I see a lot of just pissed off rude dudes on this sub too. They're just not rude to you.

MrSaturn33 · 2024-06-27T12:14:14+00:00

They're liberals, of course. This is reddit.

ElegantAd2607 · 2024-06-27T08:29:29+00:00

Wanna look at daddit? 😁

desultorythought · 2024-06-28T02:47:45+00:00

Isn’t this mainly that this sub attracts people who feel this way, and the other subs are largely populated by people who… don’t? (I’m not suggesting the other people are in the right.)

ParanoydSchizo · 2024-07-01T06:43:12+00:00

this is probably the only subreddit that doesn’t give me posting anxiety lol it’s disgusting how biased Reddit is tbh if this subreddit wasn’t here this account would’ve been deleted lol

skcuf2 · 2024-06-27T13:43:48+00:00

I posted a question yesterday about rebuilding my fuel pump in my motorcycle and I had a solution within the day. If you're looking for good politics then reddit is left leaning. Reddit is the place to come for weird discussions and people's experiences.

I'd say get off the internet for a few days.

Why is reddit outside this sub so unhelpful?

What? r/dns has lots of good DNS information. And r/ISO8601 is great about date/time format standard information and ... maybe you haven't been hangin' out in the "right" subreddits? ;-)

Uhm, I don't think r/dns nor r/ISO8601 will at all treat you unfairly over gender ... nor even ask.

But r/vintagecomputing you may sometimes need to get your genders correct on cables and connectors and such to avoid issues.
