I'm utterly done with Reddit [RANT] (lemmygrad.ml)

I'm sorry for ranting, but I need to let the steam off.

The amount of redditors defending Elon Musk is beyond pissing me off. This piece of shit literally sieg hailed and people are defending him like crazy, some going even to the length of saying it isn't a nazi salute because the arm angle is wrong............................................

The thread that finally pissed me off to this point is this one in r/linux_gaming.

The sheer amount of libs that think there shouldn't be politics in a fucking Linux subreddit is beyond baffling, and the amount of people just defending Musk just pisses me off to no end. At this point I'm done with that shit ass platform. I'll delete my account after I bookmark some of the actual useful threads I saved over the years. FUCKING HELL.

I barely use reddit anymore except for a few subs I follow on the app Stealth, which doesn't have a login feature, so I don't really interact over there unless I'm really compelled to and when I'm on my PC.

Using it on my browser I see a lot more positives with a lot of subs banning Twitter, it's just that of the few that I actually care about, like r/linux_gaming that I use to keep on with the Linux gaming side, defending Musk is so prevalent it absolutely pisses me off. Not only that, but there's also ableism on full display on that thread, and every now and then there's always sinophobia there. But maybe I'm naive to expect tech bros to be even 1% decent on average. I guess I expected better from the open source community.

More and more “general leftist” subs are going farther and farther left.

Yeah that's an upside I have seen too, specially on r/latestagecapitalism. I think I saw them doing a pretty hard turn left in the past year where the amount of actually good leftist posts have been increasing, which is always great to see.

Linux gaming has always been a fairly toxic sub IMO. I read it occasionally as there is sometimes some great content, but it's largely just a weird circle jerk where they tell eachother that their favourite distro is the only one that can play a game and all others suck. I tend to get my real news from Phoronix or Gaming on Linux.

/r/Linux really isn't that bad though. The crowd seems a lot older, knowledgeable, and a bit less liberal IMO.

Main Linux sub still has its issues ofc

I have been seeing more blatantly pro-China posts on those subs as well. I think RedNote has had a significant impact on them. I see videos popping up on reddit that are obviously from there.
