"puts on archaeologist glasses"

The cuck SA Meme was mostly Introduced from the "old dos game type thread" about the Arabian nights and djinn. It was a very funny and entertaining post that had great dos art and a great story line for SA to enjoy.

Like I know people joke about x caused y posts but there was a distinctive drop in the number of good threads in gbs where people posted stories about their work/hobbies/hijinks when we took on the 'trying is lame' mentality and responded to any effort post with some variant of not caring, tldr, or stdh.

It's also roughly this time when people started stopped caring about making good posts and would proclaim to just be shitposting when you called them out on being terrible.

I feel like this is happening everywhere though. Anyone who writes more than two sentences is "having a meltdown". And the internet is dumber for it.
Yeah I see this thrown around a lot here and it seems really dumb. The times where I see one poster accusing another of being upset or melting down when it mostly looks like it's just two people disagreeing with each other where one has a longer winded but ultimately more salient argument far exceeds the times where it genuinely looks like one poster needs a timeout for their own mental health.

he did what he did in BYOB by probating a bunch of bad posters to discourage them from posting, then lowtax told him to cool it. So spider didn't immediately gas a thread titled "niggers" and posted in it once. Lowtax probated spider for it, so spider probated more bad posters with the messages being meant for lowtax because lowtax sorta did it out of the blue. Lowtax then permabanned spider and said that spider should have emailed him about it.

I don't know, having multiple accounts helps the site. I could see wanting to keep your "content creation" account separate from the one you make normal posts with. What do i know though, I'm a lurker and create nothing.

The majority of Reddit is absolute poo poo. And even the good parts of Reddit have that godawful layout that makes reading a thread painful.

And if you post on any chan site, you very likely have severe mental problems.

I'll stick to our gay dead forum thanks.

in light of this it's not suprising twitter got famous. it is just reddit without the subs, the layout is even harder to follow because you're reading old conversation chains backwards and scrolling past 140 characters breaks in a 10,000 word sjw/gamergater rant is rage inducing

i'd be happy if most redditors could only speak 140 characters though

"meltdown" is a conversation ender. it's one of those words meant to make a person look bad no matter what the actual circumstances.

if they can't claim you're melting down, they'll try to shut you down for doing the opposite and claim youre "rolling with the punches." you cant win

he probated somebody for posting an image with no words, then did the same thing, and lowtax probated him for it.

SILENT MAJORITY
When I first read Reddit a few years ago I noticed it was basically just SA and 4chan circa 2006. As in, re-posting ancient loving memes that were long ago retired except for a nostalgic chuckle. Now, with a fresh audience of 16 yos, they act like all this "fresh" comedy came from them.

Truth is, Reddit doesn't generate its own content at all. It's pretty much just a bulletin board for people too young to know what is good. Every time some young person says unabashedly that they're a Redditor, I feel kind of bad for them. Like, "sorry you don't know the potential of the internet to be good and having to rely on a tard echochamber."

SA is still good. Love the haters. They make this cesspool of filth and cruelty fun.

Reddit is Shasta. SA is whiskey. They'll both gently caress up your organs, but one is a sugary kid-drink and the other is good BECAUSE its old.

I thought it was more like:
ES: this okcupid.txt thread sure has a lot of okcupid text posted in it. I'm not sure I like that.
GBS: what?! Lol. (Explains what a txt thread is)
ES: I admit I've never actually read GBS before.
GBS: what?! Lol.
Downward spiral to meltdown.

But whatever, it ended very well for GBS as far as mods go.
