People are posting this kid on Reddit a lot right now, various art tributes and the like.

A lot got removed right away, but they keep up the ones in more mainstream subreddits so that people can see an equal mixture of right-wing hate as support. There's all the usual "You can tell this kid was raised by a liberal, look how emotional he is!" boomer lines and blatant attacks on his weight and every bit of hate you would expect in even distribution between supportive comments.

Reddit as an entity is working very hard to cultivate a simulated social experience, about 10% - 15% of users aren't even human, about as many posts are actually ads, and you can get shadowbanned without notice for reasons they will never explain, and that shadowban can be carried across affiliated google sites like youtube.

They want to create a landscape where they can adjust the knobs and change people's perceptions of reality at a whim or at direction from corporate interests. It's very easy to make people believe the sky is green when you can make people have an individually tuned experience of going in a popular discussion and seeing everyone say how stupid you would be to believe the sky is any other color but green, you will literally doubt your senses. Our species is vulnerable that way, we need to stop using the internet for socializing, it's going to ruin everything we've accomplished for thousands of years.

Why are you talking about reddit? Fuck reddit. What a shitty place to be.

That's what motivated me to make an account here. Reddit are fascist sympathizers.

I often wonder if DHS is aware of the threadiverse. I would assume so but who knows? At least I don't think our admins would cooperate with them for the most part.
