There's less Reddit meta content on Reddit, why did I come here?

It's one misguided poster spamming the shit out of a bunch of instances, but this post itself seems to imply a more widespread problem.

What are you trying to achieve with this post? Would you like to spark conversation about this particular person's crusade ? Or are you the umpteenth poster this month complaining about content referencing Reddit?

Honestly, the bitching about the bitching about Reddit is becoming pretty fucking tiresome, imho. Why are we talking about this? Why did you make this post? Why not just downvote that asshat's content and move on? It doesn't contribute, you allegedly don't care, why post to complain about complaints?

But super-honestly, the bitching about the bitching about the bitching is worse. Why did you make this comment? Why not just downvote that asshat's content and move on? It doesn't contribute, you allegedly don't care, why comment to complain about complaints about complaints?

We can do this as many times as you'd like, you still won't have made a point.

Ok but even more super-honestly, the bitching about the bitching about the bitching about the bitching is worse. Why did you make this comment? Why not just downvote that asshat's content about that other asshat's content and move on? It doesn't contribute, so why comment to complain about complaints about complaints about complaints?

We should not do this as any more times probably....also google en passant.

Dude thinks that a valid complaint about an annoyance validates the annoyance. It’s an ages old internet trope. Similar to the “I won because you don’t respond to me anymore!”

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Who is "dude"?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

it's bitching all the way down

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

In other words: the internet

It's bitchin' in the upside down

The spirit of Reddit lives on

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I prefer checkers. Or Go Fish. Actually, I prefer pinball, but I've never seen a chess-themed pin.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I get it - complaints about complaints, the 'Inception' of discourse, right? 😄 My aim was less 'moan-fest', more 'awareness-raising'. But I see how it could have come off as one more tiresome rant. Point taken.

Downvoting? Sure, it's a tool, but it feels like trying to empty an ocean with a bucket. As a community, can't we aim higher? Maybe introduce more efficient levers? Let's not just 'downvote and move on', let's 'upvote and move up'. Let's brainstorm and pull this platform to greater heights.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

Just block the account that made the posts. It's a single account so it takes 5 seconds to get rid of it all. It's what I did.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Not to mention, as long as the post in question is in a relevant community, downvoting it out of annoyance feels weird to me. That is not what the buttons are for. I've seen several posts I didn't personally like, but not wanting to see them doesn't make them worthless to anyone else and all those are communities are for generalized topics.

Guy just needs to get it into his head how far-reaching federation is and maybe go for a run or something

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

This is Mildly Infuriating. The whole point is to complain about stuff.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ahh. The ol’ bitching about bitching response. This would be so much more effective had it not been pointed out long ago that this is also effectively bitching.

Thus the loop can never be broken.

You see… You’re bitching about bitching about bitching. So either you admit to being just as obnoxious, or you admit that a valid complaint about an annoyance- doesn’t validate the annoyance.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The complaint isn't valid, you ignore a thousand stupid things you don't care for on the Internet every day and have the tools and capacity to ignore this one too, so why not ignore it instead of bitching about a solved problem?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sorry, I don’t see any solved problems here. All I saw was someone bitching about someone bitching about someone bitching- which is essentially highly hypocritical.

We can agree to disagree and both move on. We said what we felt the need to.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Of course you don't, the lack the capacity to see past your ego dangling in front of your eyes.

Don't want to see something in your feed? Block it or scroll on, bitching is a you problem.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That must have been a lot of fun for you to write out. Feel better now? I’m sure I would if bitching about things was something that got me off.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Do you practice being this stupid or does it come naturally?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Op isn't trying to accomplish anything other than complaining. Trying to climb the ladder in our modern day social media culture of outrage 🙄
