everybody on ilx complains about reddit

Halt and catch gender

Apparently the Trump forum has been dead or idle for months.

Reddit quarantined the forum last year and banned or restricted most of the users in February.

nice to know that a bunch of misogynistic rape/violence/degradation fetishist subreddits have escaped the axe. I guess banning them would amount to kink shaming or smth

I haven't looked, but it's not just hate speech, it's also inciting violence, harassing, and just generally aggressively flouting Reddit rules.

lol their #1 hobby was debating whether or not CTH is too problematic

reddit ban for two reasons - illegal stuff and (more often) breaking rules, usually the rules about not raiding other subs, they are obsessed with this for some reason, or at least use their obsession as an excuse to ban stuff. (legal) pervs presumably keep themselves to themselves and don't get banned.

Both sides do it*

yes, literally people calling for one of the hosts to be booted off the show for being too problematic. must ban this subreddit

I think CTH’s biggest offense, officially, was praising the abolitionist John Brown! He killed people, you see, so he’s just as bad as slavers and Nazis.

*chefs kiss*

Which chapo did they want to boot? Hopefully Will

gotta be matt (ive never listened to the show but i followed them all on twitter except the one who has me blocked)

matt says the most problematic stuff but is also the best one

Amber laps them all with problematic takes and beliefs.

isnt she on a different pod now tho

Nah, she's still a regular

ok im changing my guess to amber (i dont follow her but i think i used to)

yeah it's amber

she's no longer on twitter

thats crazy to reach such pod success that you dont even have to be on twitter anymore

astonishing

A fine distillation of rightwing bullshit platformed by the "science" subreddit.

https://old.reddit.com/r/science/comments/i4tcau/journalists_twitter_use_shows_them_talking_within/

US journalists are more likely to be insulated in liberal political bubbles in big cities that are growing “bluer” (Shafer & Doherty, 2017).

"insulated"

A large number of subs have been hacked and had their css changed to display pro-Trump messages. Apparently in some cases, moderators were removed from their subs by the hackers.

repression and projection among 15% of the us population is going to get us all killed

wow, that's like a real life version of the "pedophile hunter" parody on brass eye

repression and projection among 15% of the us population is going to get us all killed

otm

Possibly more than 15% tho (and not just in the US).

undoubtedly but i can only speak for my countrymen or rather i cannot

aw but he sounds really sad about it

lol @ r/wallstreetbets

still think markets are evil, but I trade stocks now :)

I only know about funkomentals and gamestop sells those. I like that stock.

this is honestly so funny, they drove that hedge fund in to bankruptcy lol

they had other positions cratering, pullout game was sloppy. they aren't bankrupt.

ok lol

Is this basically the social media-ization of trading and are the populist forces thereby unleashed going to pretty much polarize and destroy the market? Asking for a friend.

nah but it is funny

I don't know what you mean, buying shares of companies you like and going long is the most endorsed and low risk investment advice they give to people wanting to invest in a forward looking market.

I haven't been following the GME story moment by moment, but my understanding (could be wrong) was that the "rationale" for GME surge purchasing was less belief in GME fundamentals and future and more "stick it to the man" punishing institutions/institutional investors, which I am analogizing (maybe stupidly) to "owning the libs" type social media shitposting.

reminds me i have run out of chicken stock, will have to get some from tesco later.

no. It's a really underundervalued company, with a turnaround story and activist investors, that was being shorted into the ground/hoping for their bankruptcy.

pullout game was sloppy

bring a bucket and a mop

I can't find the thread again this morning, but I saw a fairly compelling (for someone like me, who is not at all well versed in how these things work) thing on Twitter yesterday about how there is still a good chance that the reddit people could lose all their money on this. His basic approach was, "of course fuck the hedge funds and they get what they want, but it makes me sad to see folks on reddit posting about throwing their life savings behind this and potentially losing it all". I get how this move fucks over the funds that shorted Gamestop, but I'm not sure I understand how this could backfire on the redditors. If they just fail to pay attention and don't sell their stocks before the inevitable stabilization of the price?
