everybody on ilx complains about reddit

Same hometown and same current city?

I [26m] just caught my girlfriend [20f] lying to the IRS saying she’s ‘single’ on her tax form. Should I be concerned?

Anyone been following this Spongebob Squarepants thing?

The main Spongebob subreddit, https://www.reddit.com/r/BikiniBottomTwitter/ , started a change.org petition a while back for the NFL to pay tribute to Spongebob creator Stephen Hillenburg, who died last year. They wanted them to play a Spongebob song, Sweet Victory, which came from an episode about a football halftime performance. The petition gathered over a million signatures.

At some point the nfl's twitter account (i think) tweeted a gif of Spongebob, leading many to believe that the song would indeed be included in the halftime show. For several weeks, /r/bikinibottomtwitter posts about Sweet Victory would rise to the top of /r/all, indicating the redditors fevered anticipation. On game day, Maroon 5 posted a teaser trailer that included Spongebob and it seemed like the deal was sealed.

However, when the halftime show rolled around, the tribute was minimal. A little bit of Spongebob footage was used to introduce Travis Scott's portion and I guess that was it.

/r/bikinibottomtwitter went into a full meltdown. People were like "I never would have watched the Superbowl if it hadn't been for the promise of a Spongebob tribute." The subreddit changed its downvote button to the NFL logo. Many even began brigading /r/nfl, whose mods apparently just adopted a policy of deleting any spongebob-related posts on sight.

finding it very hard to know who to root for here

lol reddit xp

lmao @ watching one football game in your life and having it be *that* one

i was wondering what that spongebob shit was about lol

man, trawling a bit around the internet.....people really are mad about this SpongeBob thing. it's like Szechuan Sauce all over again.

Yep, good comparison

I suppose it's worse to meme wrong than to not meme at all

Tencent is, at great cost and ultimately for great profit, literally reinventing censorship in China. The Great Firewall was not built by the Communist Party in Beijing, it’s built by the tech giants all around China. This opaque but clearly powerful relationship between the $699 billion company and the Chinese government raises interesting and unanswered questions about Tencent’s forays into the West, including questions about Reddit’s future.

what the hell is going on

Tencent is part of China’s foreign policy strategy, it would appear

oh i meant why is a massive chinese censorship juggernaut buying a slice of this politically uncensored website

oh i see what you mean. perhaps the ccp has recognised the threat reddit poses to meme control

Meme control to Major Tom...

Seems potentially ominous who knows

reddit more like no i was not allowed to

Why is it that racism can't be artistic?

Bolt the door, Varg is loose!

>Also that he hates non-Aryan people and thinks they should be exterminated.

Has he ever said anything about exterminating any race? As far as I know he just wants to avoid being demographically & culturally replaced (which is a desire that's expected and goes without questioning from pretty much everyone except whites).

Wonder what ol' Roger Adultery is up to these days.

punksishippies just asking questions

Has anyone gone onto that T_D thread and actually pasted his "racism is great!" posts to show up the lying little toad?

...oh wait its a 2 year old post nm

someone should

What, so he could make more friends over there?

just to set the record straight that he wasn't bannedjust for supporting trump. there was a pattern of posts that went against community guidelines.

let the right wingers hate us for real reasons at least

Thats what shits me, these types are deliberately disingenuous.

we shd start a fight w some awful nazi reddit until they dox and murder us

xp Or at best, incredibly blind to what it is that people take issue with them for. Think a lot of these characters think they are banned because they mentioned Trump one time, instead of, y'know, being an asshole

Though to be clear I am not not for banning people for mentioning Trump one time

I don’t want to be doxxed. Let’s call it off

My real identity is much too easy to tie to this website

The only one I can think of at the moment is /r/lptol but every once in a while I'll come across something on /r/all where there is no downvote button.

shitredditsays used to only have a downvote button

One observation about reddit that has popped up for me when casually browsing over the years. There are a certain amount of reddit users who refer to white men's underpants as "tidy whities" or even "whitey tighties". I did a couple searches and found that, over here in ilx, we have for the most part stuck with "tighty whities". Thank you.

you're welcome

Why would anyone over the age of 6 use any of those phrases?
