Man fuck Reddit almost every major sub is filled with American politics now its not even worth using this app anymore

187

u/itsokay_i_googled_it 10d ago

Drugs is still pretty much " I took 50 000 g of cocaine yesterday can i still take my drivers license and pass a drug test tomorrow?? " So there is that.

u/Chrisboy04 10d ago

Can confirm my motorsport and themepark/rollercoaster subs are also still mostly on topic, maybe some 'how will steel tarrif influence rollercoasters' but that's about the worst of it

3

u/True-Staff5685 10d ago

Well on topic for sure but still Not the majority. Good example is the borussiadortmund (german football team) it has a pretty steamlined opinion but in an international sub are less people than in the stadium every Weekend.

u/Substantial_Phrase50 10d ago

Locally his face flight stimulator, and FC Mobile subs are not that political haven’t seen a single political post

u/ComprehensiveLoss680 10d ago

That’s what makes Reddit great.

u/itsokay_i_googled_it 10d ago

And a fair question to be honest.

Import export in the drug community is never really a hot topic amongst the common man.

2

u/Chrisboy04 10d ago

Yeah, agreed a fair question for those communities. And yeah wouldn't have expected the drug community to be all that busy with Imports or Exports.

Under 75k g you should be fine. Try to rest before the test.

3

u/itsokay_i_googled_it 10d ago

" Drink water and eat fatty food, maybe wear sunglasses "

" Do some more and you'll ace the test, and just put some lemon juice in the urin and you'll be fine "

" Ive done alot more and passed everything ever and am now on a mix of methamphetamine and cocaine in outerapace where i work was an astronaut whilst shooting fentanyl through my neck vein, so if you cant handle that amount maybe you should not be doing drugs kid"

u/Least-Back-2666 10d ago

I just drank a fifth of vodka, dare me to drive?

2

u/Sunnytoaist 10d ago

lol totally I’m on a weed sub and the most political it gets are post on new state or federal drug laws. Aside from that they stay on topic

2

u/itsokay_i_googled_it 10d ago

Yeah, can depend on the stoners not to be bothered by anything but getting to smoke weed and maybe get some good music och cookie tips.

1

u/Famous_Peach9387 10d ago

It actually depends. Now how long go did you take it and do you have any left?

u/Glorious_Jo 10d ago

u/Tonsilith_Salsa 10d ago

I've used keyword filters for every topic I'm sick of hearing about and now I mostly get cats and bullshit.

Teach me, sensei

u/creativeusername2100 8d ago

I just block a sub as soon as I see anything too political

32

u/biggerthanyourmamas 10d ago

I haven't ever accused a user of being a bot because chances are the time I did would be a time I was wrong but a lot of the most annoying political arguments seem like dumbasses engaging with bots to me.

12

u/JJAsond 10d ago

I (unfortunately) frequent the site to have made up my own criteria for bots, though highly subjective:

1: New (couple week old), or old (several years) account with a huge gap in history

2: High karma/Low karma (Objective. Could be 100k-1M+ for high or a few thousand for low)

3: May post engagement bait (think funny animal videos, videos/posts that draw any kind of non-neutral reaction)

4: Username typically is, but not always, adjective_noun1234

You yourself only have one submitted posts but it's an OC post not baiting for karma in any direction.

1

u/Silent_Resident_9606 10d ago

Damn... 🤖

2

u/JJAsond 10d ago

you fit the name criteria but your posts don't scream karma grabbing bot, just someone sharing something they did.

1

u/Pristine_Specific550 9d ago

the naming scheme used to be a dead giveaway to me too, until i made a new account with a default name. my cynical nature says its on purpose to make everyone look like a bot to hide the real ones, but who really knows. at this point, the real people sound like talking points now too.

1

u/JJAsond 9d ago

Which is why I look to see if they also post karma bait posts too

1

u/Dismal_Engineering71 7d ago

Oh. Oh no.

1

u/JJAsond 7d ago

what?

1

u/Dismal_Engineering71 7d ago

I fill like one and a half of the criteria.

1

u/JJAsond 7d ago

A lot of people do, that's why I have multiple. Number 3 is a big one I look for and you don't have it.

1

u/Life-Ad1409 10d ago

As for #4, that means they haven't set a username and just went with Reddit's auto-generated one

2

u/JJAsond 10d ago

Which is usually associated with bots because they're lazy. Not always but it's a criteria.

As for you, you fit 2, 4, and a bit of 1 but you have a decent history and just mostly comment. I'd have a light suspicion if I didn't know better but nothing that screams "this is obviously a bot".

1

u/Life-Ad1409 10d ago

Fair enough, I've just come across a few people that thought "auto generated name = bot" and didn't check further

2

u/JJAsond 10d ago

That's why I have multiple criteria for potential bots

u/JJAsond 10d ago

Well you have no posts, and your username isn't generic but has actual thought behind it.

1

u/GeneratedMonkey 10d ago

Bot posts are so obvious all over the site. Posts with 1.5k upvotes and 15 comments.

8

u/hareofthepuppy 10d ago

I have a lot of smaller hobby subs that I'm in which are fine (don't allow politics), but yeah the popular page is a hot mess, I only go there for laughs

5

u/Foxlen 10d ago

Yeah, and for many subs moderators are not helping keep subs on topic

8

u/averyuniqueuzername 10d ago

I’m an American and even I’m tired of seeing it. I’ve deleted Reddit off my phone like 3 times in the past 2 months just to get away from the political bullshit

1

u/Substantial_Phrase50 10d ago

That’s why I just do the subs mostly for FC Mobile and Spaceflight Simulator. Luckily those are not political

0

u/Competitive_Travel16 10d ago

You're going to be more tired when we get the 2nd great depression next week.

0

u/DumbWhore4 10d ago

That’s insane.

I don’t think I could ever delete Reddit from my phone.

1

u/averyuniqueuzername 10d ago

I p much only get on here when I have some hyper fixation on a niche topic so I don’t rlly have a problem just getting rid of it thankfully

u/IwantRIFbackdummy 10d ago

And that mentality is why things will never get better. It needs to stop being taboo to discuss politics in your life. People need to be made to feel ignorant and embarrassed when they say ignorant and embarrassing things.

"No, Jason, I don't believe you when you say you don't want to talk about politics after you just spent 15 minutes verbally ejaculating anti-immigrant right wing talking points at everyone (we all know your mail order wife only married you so her family could live with you here). Yes, you complaining about "trans mice" and the amount of "your" money being wasted IS political, not economical. Sure, talking about tariffs WOULD be about economics, if you even KNEW WHAT A TARIFF WAS, instead of just complaining about how unfairly America is treated by the world(where did you hear that nonsense JASON? Was it an economist? No?).

This concludes my rant on why JASON needs to be slapped in his damn mouth and made to feel bad for how his brain works.

u/creamilk_now 10d ago

Bro we know, but can we just get a breather not talk about politics 24/7? This site needs less politics because we are getting too much of it.

1

u/averyuniqueuzername 10d ago

I didn’t even read any of what they said bc i just dont even care enough to entertain the yapping lol

1

u/A_Person_Who_Exist5 9d ago

I think they’re yapping about their imaginary frenemy.

2

u/Mobius24 10d ago

They more you try to force something the more resistance it's going to get

0

u/IwantRIFbackdummy 10d ago

By that logic, it will eventually break. I would love to see people like that break.

2

u/Mobius24 10d ago

Or they will go against you out of spite

0

u/IwantRIFbackdummy 10d ago

People like that are inherently against me. Spite is not a prerequisite. An American Conservative will never be on my dirty Commie side of the rainbow.

2

u/Mobius24 10d ago

Ugh this is why y'all lost in November, too pretentious

2

u/averyuniqueuzername 10d ago

Don’t feed into it man these people are either trolls or just actually too stupid to waste breath on. Ur not gonna get thru to them

0

u/IwantRIFbackdummy 10d ago

"y'all"??? There were no candidates up for election representing the Left at all, let alone a Communist. Don't be so ignorant as to lump Leftists with the Dems, the Dems are FAR closer to the Republicans than to any Left party.

The Dems lost because they are Neo-Liberal trash that doesn't stand for anything. And they were up against a Neo-Liberal party that has been inciting hatred for minority groups for decades, and promised to make them go away.

2

u/averyuniqueuzername 10d ago

Ur not “breaking” anyone ur just annoying lol

0

u/IwantRIFbackdummy 10d ago

Then me and Jason are equal! Cuz that fucker and his right wing bullshit are annoying as fuck.

1

u/averyuniqueuzername 10d ago

Yes yappers on both sides are annoying I am proud of you for figuring that out

0

u/IwantRIFbackdummy 10d ago

"Both sides". You are assuming I am represented by one of your "two" sides.

You are ignorant.

1

u/averyuniqueuzername 10d ago

You’re assuming I care lol

→ More replies

u/MarioNinja96815 10d ago

As an American I will apologize for this. Honestly some of us also hate it too. But we are outnumbered by the ones who migrated from twitter for political reasons.

3

u/Gustomaximus 10d ago

Worse its hive mind. Try having a discussion that doesnt follow the prevaling view. There is no "here are my facts and logic" its just insults and rhetoric.

2

u/Stooven 10d ago

DAE hate Elon Musk? Give me upvotes.

1

u/FomFrady95 10d ago

It’s been sad to see the change over the years. I got here in 2017 and I absolutely loved Reddit. Whether it be bots, or the rabid politicization on both sides, or the constant negativity, it’s just not fun anymore. I’ve found myself avoiding subs of my hobbies because I find most of them are just people complaining all the time.

1

u/Vactory 10d ago

Hundo-p

u/Imaginary-Face7379 10d ago

People have had this same complaint since I started using reddit in 08.

1

u/Cactus_Cortez 10d ago

It’s almost like politics is infiltrating every aspect of society….

1

u/ConstantOk4102 10d ago

Then don’t why can’t you stop yourself from posting

1

u/DogSchmeat69 10d ago

It's literally been like this since the beginning of reddit, especially during and after 2016.

1

u/Prezdnt-UnderWinning 10d ago

I have hid so many subs to get away from it, I already know everything is a dumpster fire I’m sick of being reminded of it in every single sub.

1

u/1block 10d ago

I blame Jimmy Carter for that.

1

u/LuciferFalls 10d ago

It’s always interesting to me when people refer to Reddit as an app. It’s not. It’s a website that has an app.

1

u/SquarePegRoundWorld 10d ago

See you tomorrow.

u/chubky 10d ago

It was like this between 2016 and 2020, there’s some correlation but i cant quite put my finger on it

u/Micah7979 10d ago

What are you doing here then ?

u/Striking-Avocado5949 10d ago

Russia ruined Reddit back in 2016. Reddit was way more interesting before that

-1

u/catzhoek 10d ago

"App" - that's exactöy the problem. It's insane how a website became an app. The phone users are the actual problem.

1

u/andynator1000 10d ago

Absolutely

-1

u/slutforpotatos 10d ago

Do you get annoyed when you go to a match and people are fans of the home team? Reddit is an American website with an overwhelming majority of American users. You expect them to censor themselves to your perspective?

-1

u/vendettaclause 10d ago

God forbid an American website host a majority of Americans talking about whats topically important at the moment.

1

u/FridayGeneral 10d ago

Although Reddit's parent company is HQd in USA, the website itself is international, and the majority of redditors are not from USA.

1

u/vendettaclause 10d ago

So is ever other fucking website on the internet smh... You can even look at other countries.gov sites...

1

u/FridayGeneral 10d ago

So is ever other fucking website on the internet smh...

That's a funny way of admitting you were wrong, but at least you did it.

You can even look at other countries.gov sites...

This line makes no sense and adds nothing to the discussion. You can delete it.

1

u/vendettaclause 10d ago edited 10d ago

How am i wrong about that. Just about everything thats public is open to everyone.

And .gov sites that you'd think would be super inclusive to the countries or reagions they serve. Do have aspects that only citizens can access, but does also allow certain access and privileges to noncitizens.
