'Banned' in the context of this story meant 'the most obvious were closed and ones with slightly different names replaced them in hours'.

Freudian posted:Pretty much anything gets goons really riled up. Toilet paper orientation gets goons really riled up. Toilet paper orientation never tacitly accepted publicly viewable child porn on its site. It's a really big site though I imagine there's a lot of other stuff to do on there tbh

I don't go to reddit because I think the upvote/downvote system would prevent good conversations and instead just lead to a hivemind. Why argue with a good point against your ingroups ideas when it can just be downvoted out of sight. And forget the porn, those mspaint comics they make should not be allowed to exist, and that they are somehow encouraged there is inexcusable. Nothing good can come of a site that makes those. They are the tumor infecting humor.

Look I tried to work in a joke but they're blaring daytime television in this cafe and despite the distraction I thought my opinions were too important not to share right now.

Everything that's lovely about it would just be going on somewhere else on the internet if it didn't exist, and whilst it's funny to point and laugh, that sort of thing gets very, very repetitive after a while. I'll admit not getting this at all at the time of the reddit threads, but in retrospect I actually prefer PYF now we don't do mock threads, and they kind of seem to be in decline generally.

As for reddit and similar "bullshit" sites, just avoid what you don't like - problem solved, why bother, it is your time you are wasting.

It's funny to read all the dumb, horrible retarded poo poo on reddit like that one forum where they advise other nerds to treat girls like zelda bosses in order to do naughty/immoral things with them, but goons seem to feel the need to one up each other with their outrage against the loving place. So stop :psygonk:'ing or whatever and just grab a bag of popcorn as you enjoy the poo poo show.

Reddit sucks is basically a meme now even if it's basically right, like fedoras looking ugly (an idea which I would never shamelessly perpetuate). If you're going to go opinion having do it with some style and make something interesting out of it, not just mindlessly copy the actions of others in an attempt to get high-fives.

I think if you're criticizing other communities of computer guys posting on an interactive talking space it may be time for some introspection about the same cool posting area in which you partake.

Being a cool internet guy is based on indifferent opinions toward things. I don't care about Reddit, therefore I have the best opinion about Reddit.

13stitches posted:Didn't they put a lid on that can of worms? Not the toilet paper thing, the other one? I don't use the site because it's much to cluttered but I read something about them banning all the awful kiddie stuff, which is at least a step in the right direction. They banned it but it took way too long. Goons emailed Anderson Cooper 360, Cooper did a story on r/jailbait, it gets shut down. THe guy who ran it (who ran a whole bunch of disgusting subreddits), ViolentAcrez, made a bunch more. Reddit did nothing about these. Goons launched a big ol' shame campaign and after a couple of weeks reddit decides "you know what it's a tough call but maybe we should stop allowing you to jerk off to kids on here". Redditors freaked the gently caress out about freedom of speech and censorship and how this was all a massive plan by SA to destroy reddit, etc., and the mods (and one of the founders!) made it really clear that they didn't actually want to ban this. Then they started drafting the Free Internet Act which was basically going to be "if it's online it's not illegal" and they hosted it in GOogle Docs, with no permissions, and editing it was a lot of fun. RIP, Funkadelic Internet Act.

I used some Weed 'n Feed on my lawn and actually felt bad about how it turned the dandelions into twisted, malformed horribleness. Ugh. It's like the plant equivalent of that guy from RoboCop who gets all kinds of hosed up from the toxic waste. I was worried that perhaps I was becoming too compassionate, so I went to a tall building and rode the elevator for a few hours with a jug of orange juice and a large bag of beef jerky. Soon a massive amount of gas was urgently awaiting to escape my bowels, and when a nice long elevator ride going all the way to the top with a bunch of people rolled around I subjected them to 15 minutes of the most horrible farting I've ever unleashed. It was so bad I gagged myself... considering the power of homebrew resistance I can only assume it was absolute hell for the rest of the passengers. It wasn't quiet and they all knew it was me. A few of the suits glared disapprovingly in my direction, but since my shirt had SKULLS on it they were too intimidated to say anything. When we were within a few minutes of the top floor I explained how what I was doing was happening in order to assure myself that I haven't indeed become too compassionate. Having ties to the business world they looked at each other and nodded approvingly. They seemed to "get it" but the lot of them remained entirely silent. When the elevator arrived at the top floor we all piled out. As I walked down the stairs back to the lobby I imagined those people dragging my scent into their offices and meetings. How they all would tell of their harrowing ordeal to friends and peers in the business world, trying to explain that the smell wasn't theirs. My gas would touch SO many lives that day. Shortly after arriving home I received a call requesting I come in for an interview - it seems that the people I'd fartbombed worked for a bank. They were particularly impressed with my ruthlessness. Despite having not worked for six years and living on little more than ramen and the wild rhubarb growing in my neighbors yard I shouted "gently caress YOU I'M NO SELLOUT" into the phone and hung up. Idealism FTW.

I'm not sure if you posted this in the wrong thread, but I think this deserves preservation and study ITT. Anyone else able to intimidate people into silence with their choice of T-shirt? Or to testify to the power of Homebrew Resistance?

Disrupting the social order is my favorite thing and as such this is indeed the proper thread. Also, it was a sweater not a T-shirt. My grandmother lovingly knitted it by hand for my 19th birthday. Only conformist tools wear t-shirts during summer months.

When Guy Fieri asked for there to be no gay men around he was just being considerate because the gay community has put up with enough poo poo without having to see 50 chili guacamole potato skins being eaten by a sentient Big Dog t-shirt.
