I don’t know much internet history, but i’ve heard tales of a message board called stormfront? was that a subreddit? does it have anything to do with ?
As someone who used to troll Stormfront for fun back in the day
I saw shit on Reddit that makes Stormfront look like Babytown
It speaks for itself when the frontpage is loaded with some version of “Look at this scary black man get shot by a hero cop” or “Loudmouthed cooze gets what’s coming to her”
Not to mention the very nature of the site pushes for censoring of “unacceptable information” which allows them to basically control the narrative on whatever issue they want to
The abhorrent shit they casually post about Romani people on there makes me nauseous
Reddit has an insane amount of casual racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, classism, and just about every other shitty, abhorrent form of chudiness you can think of, right in the open and getting heavily upvoted. It’s a site that can really distort any decent person’s perception of humanity. It can turn the most trusting person into a diehard misanthrope quickly. The site needs to be avoided at all costs. I would prefer it to just not exist at all.
