Welcome to c/effort, the home of effort posts! This is a space where you can write on an topic, as long as it reflects real time and effort to put together.

Rules

Posts are text-only. No images or videos.

2.While the topic can be on anything, posts still require “effort”. While there isn’t a minimum word limit or anything, generally this means it’s longer than most other posts and there’s also that the expectation that your posts required real effort to write up.

“Master” posts that have a lot of links are welcomed.

I probably shouldn't be making this post. I hate getting involved struggle session highschool drama shit and I won't even point to specific evidence because frankly this shit depresses me. But here goes:

This might be a "wtf are you ranting about, Owl?" moment but there are some serious reactionary vibes in this place sometimes. Maybe it's a holdover from the dirtbag leftist era, I don't know, but it's gross. I see it trying to worm its way in here and it's a bad sign

If you ever catch yourself using the kind of shitty othering and ableism you'd see on stupidpol or a 2016 cringe compilation, go do some self crit or fuck right off

I'm not sure which thread you're referring to, I was generally referring to the reception of another recent post which critisized the dunking culture of Hexbear where many users simply decided OP were themselves dunked for being obviously wrong and we're lashing out in exchange (which was not the case and was their own assumption without research)

I'll write more about it when I get home if you want examples, especially comments in news mega threads and comments c/electoralism has the clearest issues from what I remember

Oh yeah, those threads come up from time to time and get treated like that. Last one I remember is from a few weeks ago but I don't follow them closely. I agree it's shitty and ridiculous.
