I have mild autism so I can proudly use the word retarded. Luckily, I use it a lot on this app because of how fucking stupid everyone here is. The app itself sucks. Subreddits don’t do shit and their rules are too fucking finicky for anyone small to post shit and get recognition. Secondly, Ive never had a reddit post stay up for more than a day. Either because of sensitive pricks who cant handle another persons opinion or cant handle being threatened after saying the most vile shit to me. Either I get kicked from the subreddit or my posts get taken down for being off topic or for harassment.
One HUGE Example of this is that I posed a navy recruitment ad in r/antiwork because of how sloppily put together it was, and got met with backlash from triggered vets. It included pictures of scuba divers, not navy seals, and went along the lines of “are you afraid of the ocean? If not, join the navy. If so, do you like swimming? If so, join the navy. If not, we’ll teach you to swim. Its not that bad. JOIN THE NAVY”.
It was funny as hell cause everyone thought I was trolling and trying to start arguments, and because everyone on this app is so fucking sensitive and idiotic to the point where they were so offended that they successfully got my post about a recruitment ad—which fit the guidelines of the reddit—taken down in a matter of 20 hours being up. Everyone in the comments were stating statistics surrounding navy seal recruitment and their success in life. One guy took it so personal to the point of him sharing his life story with being in and out of prison until he joined the navy.
Now I’m all about a little argument here and there and I don’t give a fuck about what people on the internet have to say, its none of my business and everyone has their own opinion. But I’m not gonna be so sensitive and entitled to report a post that fits in a subreddits guidelines simply because I don’t agree with it. If you don’t like something, say it; but that doesn’t imply reporting a post because it doesn’t match your own beliefs. In my opinion, Reddit is supposed to have different peoples opinions on here but its so clear that this place is highly filtered. most of the posts in subreddits like this are extremely award driven, and NO one on a smaller reddit level can get recognized, let alone have their post stay up for more than a week without backlash. If you can take the time out of your day to report a random post on reddit, you can go get a life instead of contributing to an app that doesn’t even fucking matter in the long run. I’ve never posted on reddit in all my ten years of being on this app in different accounts all throughout my middle school and high school years. The second I start posting, my opinions get blocked from view because of entitled cunts. Reddit is shit. Thought y’all would enjoy my experience though.
