“fuck u/spez” means absolutely nothing to anyone who isn’t familiar with Reddit, it’s just noise.

“FIRE STEVE HUFFMAN” is a clear, actionable statement that has a clear target and goal and actually has meaning to people who don’t know what Reddit is (like say, a potential shareholder or investor)

Idk where to put this since r/savethirdpartyapps got banned so post this wherever will get noise if you agree

    Depends a lot on which subreddits you frequented. Some subreddits were alright, but many of the largest ones would frequently have uncontested ableism and transphobia.

      Yeah, a good part of that was because I stayed out of the right-wing cesspits, while taking far too long to leave the left-wing ones, so most of the cess I got was left cess.

      The only exception was PCM (joined when it was merely right-leaning and not particularly PC, rather than the outright hive of scum and villainy it became), and there, it was far from progressive.

      What does misogyny have to do with disabled or trans people? Other than the fact that around 1/2 are women?

        The comment above mentioned progressivism in general

        my experience of Reddit was that it was progressive and feminist to an extent rivalling Tumblr

        Since you’re asking, I find that blatant transphobia also tends to go hand in hand with some sort of sexism, but that’s an unrelated point.
