MODERATORS
It's one misguided poster spamming the shit out of a bunch of instances, but this post itself seems to imply a more widespread problem.
What are you trying to achieve with this post? Would you like to spark conversation about this particular person's crusade ? Or are you the umpteenth poster this month complaining about content referencing Reddit?
Honestly, the bitching about the bitching about Reddit is becoming pretty fucking tiresome, imho. Why are we talking about this? Why did you make this post? Why not just downvote that asshat's content and move on? It doesn't contribute, you allegedly don't care, why post to complain about complaints?
But super-honestly, the bitching about the bitching about the bitching is worse. Why did you make this comment? Why not just downvote that asshat's content and move on? It doesn't contribute, you allegedly don't care, why comment to complain about complaints about complaints?
We can do this as many times as you'd like, you still won't have made a point.
Ok but even more super-honestly, the bitching about the bitching about the bitching about the bitching is worse. Why did you make this comment? Why not just downvote that asshat's content about that other asshat's content and move on? It doesn't contribute, so why comment to complain about complaints about complaints about complaints?
We should not do this as any more times probably....also google en passant.
Dude thinks that a valid complaint about an annoyance validates the annoyance. It’s an ages old internet trope. Similar to the “I won because you don’t respond to me anymore!”
Who is "dude"?
The spirit of Reddit lives on
it's bitching all the way down
In other words: the internet
It's bitchin' in the upside down
I prefer checkers. Or Go Fish. Actually, I prefer pinball, but I've never seen a chess-themed pin.
I get it - complaints about complaints, the 'Inception' of discourse, right? 😄 My aim was less 'moan-fest', more 'awareness-raising'. But I see how it could have come off as one more tiresome rant. Point taken.
Downvoting? Sure, it's a tool, but it feels like trying to empty an ocean with a bucket. As a community, can't we aim higher? Maybe introduce more efficient levers? Let's not just 'downvote and move on', let's 'upvote and move up'. Let's brainstorm and pull this platform to greater heights.
Just block the account that made the posts. It's a single account so it takes 5 seconds to get rid of it all. It's what I did.
Not to mention, as long as the post in question is in a relevant community, downvoting it out of annoyance feels weird to me. That is not what the buttons are for. I've seen several posts I didn't personally like, but not wanting to see them doesn't make them worthless to anyone else and all those are communities are for generalized topics.
Guy just needs to get it into his head how far-reaching federation is and maybe go for a run or something
This is Mildly Infuriating. The whole point is to complain about stuff.
Ahh. The ol’ bitching about bitching response. This would be so much more effective had it not been pointed out long ago that this is also effectively bitching.
Thus the loop can never be broken.
You see… You’re bitching about bitching about bitching. So either you admit to being just as obnoxious, or you admit that a valid complaint about an annoyance- doesn’t validate the annoyance.
The complaint isn't valid, you ignore a thousand stupid things you don't care for on the Internet every day and have the tools and capacity to ignore this one too, so why not ignore it instead of bitching about a solved problem?
Sorry, I don’t see any solved problems here. All I saw was someone bitching about someone bitching about someone bitching- which is essentially highly hypocritical.
We can agree to disagree and both move on. We said what we felt the need to.
Of course you don't, the lack the capacity to see past your ego dangling in front of your eyes.
Don't want to see something in your feed? Block it or scroll on, bitching is a you problem.
That must have been a lot of fun for you to write out. Feel better now? I’m sure I would if bitching about things was something that got me off.
Do you practice being this stupid or does it come naturally?
Op isn't trying to accomplish anything other than complaining. Trying to climb the ladder in our modern day social media culture of outrage 🙄
