But God forbid you say lesbians don't have dicks. I really wonder what Reddit will be like in 5 years.

I really wonder what Reddit will be like in 5 years.

Pretty much exactly what it is right now, just more bitter and toxic as the normies increasingly segregate themselves from the mental patients that powermod as if their lives depended on it, depriving the latter of the control and attention that they require.

I'm right now casually following a bit of mindless drama on the Pathfinder RPG sub, where one of the mods decided to abuse their mod powers (shocking, I know) by posting a long essay on how long-standing tropes about ninja, samurai, and (Asian-style) monks are all deeply rooted in anti-Asian racism. There was, as expected, a good bit "what the fuck are talking about," and the mod responded exactly as expected, with a shitton of comment deletions and userbans, and the other mods have either remained conspicuously silent or actively supported the problem mod; supposedly the sub's discord channel is a seething mess of mods going on about the racist users.

They don't seem to understand (or maybe don't care) that they're just driving away people who want share tips and fun about playing the game. The actual racists, if there even are any, won't care in the slightest about their nonsense.

Honestly the only subs that are good are ones that are niche and stay on purpose. As soon as you allow it to stray slightly that's when the rot sets in. It is funny to see them whine that their trans meme got removed from a completely irrelevant sub though. Then see the complain that their post about that got removed for also being off topic. Wish I could remember which sub I saw that in but that mod team was fucking gold for just telling them that no one cares and it's not what the sub is for.

Probably drew attention and got AHSed. Still wild that that sub is still up despite them breaking all the rules.

That's because bardfinn and his chuds are the action arm of Reddit's authoritarian admins, sent out to brigade problematic subs with content that then gets reported by other chuds until it hits a point where the admins can step in and sweep away the existing mods (on the grounds that they're not doing enough to maintain Reddit's site-wide policies) and replace them with handpicked loyalists.

Genuinely that whole sub has to be reported to the FBI with the...content they use for that.

Not that reddit cares in regards to that content. Probably sourcing it from their private spank banks tbh.

Oh definitely. The AHS chuds are absolutely too quick on the weaponized CP for them to just have found it somewhere. The problem is, normal people are too freaked out by the sudden appearance of naked kiddies in their threads to actually stop and ponder how it came so readily to hand. And by the time anyone does consider that, if they ever do, the admins have already sanitized the sub and removed the evidence.

My only hope for it is that it's being used as part of a sting operation and is used to help take down multiple paedo rings. I know it's unlikely but that's the only way I can understand how reddit hasn't looked into it more when literally everyone who has encountered them knows that's what they do. Considering Reddit's propensity to protect admins unless there's massive outrage though? Feels like that makes it even more unlikely.

Yeah every sub I find remotely interesting eventually gets banned.
