everybody on ilx complains about reddit

/r/guitarpedalsjerk is one of my favorite places on reddit. I was very active there for a while, but I've fallen out of my guitar gear acquisition phase lately.

Looks like notorious MAGA subreddit The_Donald is in the process of being quarantined or something? https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/bmjl3r/t_d_now_unsearchable_on_reddit_and_google_and/

In other news, one of the top trending subs of the past few weeks is called /r/waterniggas, in which all of reddit invokes their n-word pass because they're hydrated.

This subreddit was apparently banned, and has been replaced by /r/hydrohomies.

Heh:

First they came for /r/coontown and I applauded

Then they came for /r/altright and I laughed

Then they came for /r/The_Donald and I cheered

Then they didn’t come for me because I’m not a disgusting piece of shit so no one needed to speak for me.

Good stuff:

So picking up from my previous thread...how does a pasta shape suddenly fall out of favor so much?

xp - SubredditSimulator is indeed great, especially once you start reading the comments

wagon wheel pasta holds peas very well between the 'spokes' and i often give it to my children. my favoured shape offs conchigli, ideally with three grooves.

offs? 'is'

I don't have chicken, but I use rotelle in my "mac and cheese" because it's good at holding onto cheese and ground beef and tomatoes and peppers and pureed carrots

but I don't agonize over whether this is a mature culinary choice because ofc it's not

lol, "I don't have children"

liked the arguments of the guy who kept saying "childwen", hated that he kept saying "childwen"

his arguments were valid but he was a fucking asshole, which is probably why he got downvoted so hard

Everyone in that exchange comes across as an asshole except poster #2.

LOL that user's suspended now.

I had always imagined that wagon wheel pasta was somehow related to the Chinese because of Taoism.

Wagon wheel was my grandfather's favorite pasta and he was actually Italian (2nd generation American). He said it was the best at holding tomato sauce.

It reminds me of trivial pursuit

I am enjoying the territorial nerdrage between /r/gameofthrones, /r/asoiaf and /r/freefolk since last night.

lmbo I don't even want to know more, that's great stuff

/r/frenworld has been banned. how many more racist subreddits to go?

like counting the stars

“The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of the human race than the discovery of a new subreddit.”

ok, so /r/TheDonald has been quarantined, and a handful of other alt-right subs were banned or quarantined today.

Too bad they didn't quarantine it back in 2016, preferably before the election.

Has Trump started flipping shit about his fans being persecuted by reddit yet?

He will around 4:15 am.

guess it was threatening cops that finally got them, lmao

Or the fact that a third party published an article about it.

Also, Jordan Peterson's hatreon is about to experience an unprecedented migrant crisis.

lol they do one cool thing and get banned

Or the fact that a third party published an article about it.

Which article?

I had to cut out Reddit, the alt-right brigading was becoming increasingly obnoxious there, particularly on r/China in my case. I think I attracted some stalkers because I mocked Steve Bannon one too many times.

It will be interesting to see how isolating the MAGA crowd will play out but I suspect the admins generally gave them a pass for too long and this won't mark a critical setback for the Trumpist brigadiers. Likely they'll just migrate to other subreddits rather than Hatreon or whatever.

This is telling: search Reddit for "child custody" and one of the top three recommended subreddits is for Men's Rights.

Which article?

This one, apparently:

Here is the thread which made me despair of the place - please note the number of upvotes this prick has got.

(this will be of limited interest to people who are not familiar with life in China btw)

seeing my r/china posts translated on chinese messageboards like zhihu freaked me out. just boring posts but still. and also i was posting under my real name and unlike twitter where your peers are always hovering beneath you, i felt like i was always in more danger of popping off in a bad way.

/r/honkler, an alt-right subreddit that - to my limited understanding - involved clown pepes saying "honk honk" instead of heil hitler, has been banned.

the right is the new counter-culture

This is an r/relationships post from the SA peanut gallery thread because the original was deleted. You will not regret reading this one although you might scream. 🐀🐀🐀🐀 pic.twitter.com/nIt12atnqI

Yeah, maybe I should've posted it here instead of the Twitter thread

oh sorry, I didn't see that

lol that's totally made up

wow there's an ExRedPill forum with titles like "What is self love" and "How do I stop worrying about my height?"

Reads like incel fanfic:

Discovered that my wife and I share the same biological father, we have a child on the way - what do we do and what happens next?
