Sometimes I miss the 2016 version of myself, where I would get a mild dopamine boost about funny jokes about the orange man, or seeing a celebrity endorse my favorite DNC war criminal - blissfully unaware of global politics, war, and genocide.
The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.
This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.
The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
I pop in there every so often to look for names, then sort by controversial and do the same
Today, hot sort as of right now: 19 headlines have Trump, 0 have Biden (the current president), 6 have Harris (3 have Trump and Harris)
Most are lib burns on Trump and the like
Notables: A headline featuring Liz Cheney shitting on Trump, one headline called '3 tell tale signs that Harris will beat Trump'
Controversial sort: 5 have Trump, 6 have Harris, 2 have Biden
Most are about Israel, Gaza, or election outcomes
Notables: One headline in there is an op ed by an IDF arms manufacturer (who supports Harris and more upvotes than comments), one is about poor people being apathetic about voting (and has 0 upvotes and 40 comments)
I hate these people so much.
I don't remember r/redditminusmods, what was that?
It's a sub that also appears to be banned now. I went to look into it, and it was gone. It could be something worth reviving on Lemmy honestly. Just for the sake of my own curiosity anyway, ha.
Yeah, it's been pretty clear for a long time that there is no impartiality to the nature of the reddit feed. That might have been true in the early days, before there were even subreddits, but not anymore.
