    Recently had a friend tell me that he couldn’t even read reddit comments anymore because of all the “SJW bs”. “I’m as centrist as they come and reddit has just gone way too far left recently”. I haven’t spoken to him since and was a little surprised by the total lack of awareness, as he’s generally a very intelligent & fun person.

    There have been problematic comments in the past, but it’s not possible to keep the peace with the current political/societal state - the mental / emotional exhaustion is just too much.

        try reporting them, you get banned instead, or your comment gets ignored. tried to call them out you get brigaded and possibly reported by them.

          My perma-ban from reddit was for saying mean things to a transphobe who declared that trans people “aren’t humans”

          And chuds want us to believe reddit is a leftist paradise.
