Why are some people on Reddit so mean?

I wish I could have written a lot instead of some in the question title

Reddit is filled with far leftwing haters. I was top 1% there a few years ago. If you hate them back they go to their moderator friend. Most are basement dwellers, Trans and actual communists. Losers.

Strange because it was right wingnuts who punted me to -200 points because they didn't like being dumb

[Jersey2]

@Shiprex Hmmm, I was about 80,000 at the end. But it is seriously an unleveled field as the moderators are so biased. Maybe you had a taste of what the average conservative goes through.

[Shiprex]

How could you amass so much and be banned? It is a whole lot of echo chamber horror stories where they feed off each other's misery.

@Shiprex what I was banned for was pretty tame. It was not much at all and I said worse before. But a Trans kicked me out of a sub-Reddit that he monitored but that wasn’t enough for that flake. He had a friend, likely also trans, Prema ban me. He even told me that was what he was doing so he knew someone specifically who could and would do it. I was very surprised as I had recently gotten a message from Reddit congratulating me for being in their 1% of posters. I appealed but it was probably to the same guy.

It seems they were just trying to create a n echo chamber for themselves and evidently they have been successful. I haven’t gone back since and X has been vibrant community plus I like this one.

Seems like people want echoes of their own biases. It's getting toxic af online in some spaces

@Shiprex It is. In my opinion, we have all been divided by Identity Politics for the past 15 years. Now we act accordingly.

It's tribal to split humanity and make it difficult to overthrow the ruling classes who are exceedingly devious and corrupt

@Shiprex Obama split us to win in 2012 as the economy was so bad that he wouldn’t win otherwise. Then they kept doing it as it was successful then and they just needed to isolate white males. The problem was they lost a lot of white women. More recently they also lost Hispanic men and 20% of black men. They didn’t expect Hispanics swinging right and were shocked to be losing a material amount if black men.

I think the US has lost it's way. it's allowed corporate entities too much access to power. That it's quit looking after PEOPLE and citizens are noticing but because the narrative is controlled by corporates on the right (conservatives) and left (neo liberals) the real people are confused because they're both serving the same ends (profit) and not them (people)

[Jersey2]

@Shiprex Yes, corporations and wealthy people have corrupted our system. We are attempting to fix that which is part of what MAGA is about. I believe Trump is with the people and the corporations have been trying to derail him.

[Shiprex]

Maga isn't about that at all. Maga is about CHOOSING which of the corporate heads gets to be even more on top.

[Jersey2]

@Shiprex Not to the MAGA people. So far, I haven’t seen anything like that. It is about treating the USA as a “corporation” in that what is done is done for the benefit of the country. That’s what maga is about.

[Shiprex]

It's the internet and people are sad and want to make other people sad too.

But YOU , YOU ARE AWESOME.

Spread the joy.

Thanks for MHO!

I don't get them. I go there to get legit insights & info & my question gets deleted or I'm banned from something.

Its a useful resource, but the admins are oddly mean.

Like, most recently , I complimented the photo of a cute puppy and was told, via pvt message, that I'm banned.

I guess they would prefer that I sacrifice puppies in a ritual.

People are always mean, no matter where

You don't understand why someone people are mean?
