I don’t have a Reddit account but every day, Popular has a bunch of subreddits in a different language, Indian subreddits, or weird smut.
Thought it was just me since I’m not logged in.
I know! I feel the same way about American subs and American comments! No matter what the subject matter, no matter how interesting or even not interesting it is, most of the comments will be related to America! I wish there was some button to press that could purge all mentions of any said country, especially America. Yeah, we know you’re a racist fascist shithole, you always were, so well done for catching up with everyone else in realizing this, but I’m sick to death of reading about it. Give me some non-Yankee Doodle cats to watch!
Oh yeah? Well if you don’t love America, you can just leave!
(Yeah, I know, but I just couldn’t resist.)
“We invented the internet after all. And that includes the fediverse.”
Tim Berners-Lee invented HTTP, web servers and browsers, and is English.
Dude has the most English sounding name ever.
Didn’t he do it in CERN, an institution in switzerland?
Although ARPANET was started by the US?

Why yes! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Berners-Lee#Career_and_research
Yeah the CIXP building in CERN has his original paper printed as a poster hanging in the doorway :-)
On Voyager you can block instances, communities, users, posts and keywords from appearing. I recommend adding to the list every time a new intolerant prick starts stirring shit up.
And Reddit is a sinking, stinking corporate ship. Art is destroyed. Adults are alienated. Innocent folk are stripped of their rights to speak. There’s nothing left for the community but fascists, conservatives and bot scripts.
Use filter words. Works well in the Boost app for Android. The more Ameeican specific words you add, the more American stuff you can get rid off (congress, MAGA, Elon, Trump, republicans, etc etc). Doesnt catch nearly all American stuff, but reduces it significantly.

This comment reminds me of that time my american ass and all my american family were in america and americad all over the place with how america we were.
Phoebe: “Enshittification has a specific meaning”
Joey: “Enshittification is when something happens that I don’t like”
Uh… that’s literally the point of r/popular, it shows you popular stuff.
While true, you’d think with all the fancy algorithms social media tries to implement these days that it would use the general country and the default language as indicators. I guess that stuff only matters to them when they are feeding us ads.
I mean, sure but then it’s not r/popular anymore. Any kind of personalization would defeat the point of the category. I’m sure you’re not getting Indian posts in your own feed (not sure about the state of personalization on r/all).
People don’t go to popular to find out what’s literally popular on the site overall, they want to find new subreddits or see popular stuff they would like.
Sounds to drag like people are using r/popular wrong
Oh no, the country with three times more people than the entire Anglosphere is starting to have a presence on Reddit proportionate to its numbers. How horrible.
What a shame India doesn’t have a government like China’s to quarantine its people behind a firewall so you can keep pretending Americans run the Internet.
I was going to make a counterargument, but you’re right, this is literally the point of r/popular.
I think the current Indian government might actually go for that lol
What a shame India doesn’t have a government like China’s to quarantine its people behind a firewall
Ohh man Indian government is way worse than Chinese government. At least in China the government doesn’t commit crime against their own minority people
Stay off of those .ml instances

Would you like to give that statement another go?
Hahahaha that’s a good joke.
Uyghurs say what?
I typically lurk on All and see posts from the German language communities all the time. I don’t have a clue what any of the posts mean but they seem fun. I hope the Indian subreddits are the same way.
ALOT OF car relate discussion from what ive glimpsed.
And god, so many of them are just absolutely cram-packed with the most obnoxiously incel behavior. The actual hindi posts are not great about sexism, but they’re so much better than the creepy “All women are bitches” redpillers larping in racest broken english accents that are most of what you see on the “indian” subreddits.
Do you ever wander into a Filipino sub and tfoggalo mpaktak angdoo wopadidamo ardvarawak?
Niet vaak, nee.
Can’t users
a. filter by Hot in a given country
b. block subreddits from their Hot feed
?
I don’t remember there being any sort of customizable language filter for one’s feed
A. No
B. You used to, but now you just select see fewer and hope.
A. No
This is what I mean
I dont want solutions, I want to be mad!
Why are you using popular?
Fellas, is this thread racist?
Lol you think this is bad, you should have seen when they still had r/Chodi
Reddit had a massive a ganges cesspool long before it took a nosedive in practically every other type of content and feature.
theres has been so many indian subs and posts recently, just right after when musk and trump were railing on H1-B VISAS.
