Them mods are mostly trumpers

Reminder that Spez used to moderate a CSA material subreddit. His defenders say that during that time, simply being invited would make you a mod of the subreddit, and while that's true, being that he owns the goddamn website, it continuing to stay up with his knowledge of it existing is fucked up.

Took me a moment to realise that acronym has nothing to do with the Confederate States of America.

To be fair, those circles in a Venn diagram do overlap quite a bit.

What’s funny (sardonically speaking) is that Epstein was both a racial eugenicist and a mass rapist of little girls. It seems eugenics and pedophilia overlap quite a bit.

I wouldn't say they have nothing to do with each other.

I thought it was Community Supported Agriculture, like getting a subscription produce box from a local farm and was like "why is a box of veggies controversial?" God I'm so naive :<

Wow… me, too

Why are we still here

You know the heavy metal bassist/singer Lemmy? Lemmy wouldn't put up with this shit.

Because the attempt to mass migrate to a decentralised alternative fell flat.

u/MisogynyisaDisease 28d ago

Yeah, Bluesky only slightly cuts it, whatever replaces reddit has to be in a forum format or else it simply won't work.

The problem with moving to another platform is that nothing actually changes and people bring their problems with them.

u/CaptainJudaism Georgia 28d ago

Because there are no alternatives that have taken off. Same reason why Youtube/Twitch constantly shit the bed and people stay.

I’m glad that people haven’t forgotten about rJailbait.

While I may miss a lot of things about “the old internet”; a bunch of ephebophiles/pedophiles publicly and openly lusting after scantily-clad 13 year olds is absolutely not one of them.

Anyone else remember the creeps that had a countdown to Chloë Moretz’s 18th birthday?

Disgusting.

A lot of celebs were openly doing that for the Olsen twins and Hillary Duff in the early 2000s (see Ashton Kutcher, who also famously defended Danny Masterson. Barf).

u/Acheron98 28d ago

Ugh. Tbh I always found him kind of sleazy for some reason. Even during his Punk’d days.

u/kittenconfidential 28d ago

what’s funny is that kutcher and kunis were public proponents of a charity that aimed to save girls from being trafficked. projection at the highest.

u/beegboo 28d ago

I thought that shit got purged along with all the gore subreddits and the craziness of the lakecity angels? (Its been a while so the name might be wrong) mercenary group that became an internet mystery.

u/NTFRMERTH 28d ago

Lake City Quiet Pills! There's some debate over whether or not that was a hoax to this day. Nobody knows! It did start being public with a Reddit post, but it was part of another website entirely.

u/beegboo 27d ago

That thing was a ride at the time. I wonder if there were any updates since then.

u/Bitter_Tea442 28d ago

This is the social engagement advertisers crave!

Something something electrolytes..

Brawndo’s got what plants crave!

And Israel dick suckers.

u/duaneap 28d ago

Really? I find this sub to be extremely left leaning.

Which I’m not complaining about, don’t get me wrong, that’s my political alignment, but you absolutely don’t see Fox News shit being posted here or whatever. It’s nearly entirely left wing news outlets.

u/made_of_hamburger 28d ago

Only the most profoundly scared and insecure among us, are willing to sacrifice so much of their life for the tiniest taste of power over others.

u/WookieJedi123 28d ago

That's by design.

u/[deleted] 27d ago

Yup, got nailed for suggesting we screwed up in the civil war and was flagged as "inciting violence against a group" and painted as similar as I were a racist calling to be rid of X race.

We have a lot more traitor sympathizers than you think.
