I made the decision to purge my Reddit account - bulk deleted everything I’ve commented and posted, and deleted my account. I don’t like the direction they’re headed in. When I first started using it, discussion was 100% encouraged; if you looked hard enough and tried hard enough, you could get into deep conversations or learn something you hadn’t known before. Nowadays, though, anything you post is subject to Reddit’s keyboard warriors. Instead of actually discussing things, they name call and go through your Reddit history to find something to make fun of you for. Hell, did you know even if you had your Reddit account set to private, people could download extensions to see it?
Can you still delete all your content? I thought they prevented bulk-content deletions.
I guess so, because that’s what I did. Before I deleted my account, I made sure my profile was 100% purged and it was.
Edit: I used this (GitHub link to Power Delete Suite), it took a while but that’s only because I had many pages of content.
Same shit happens here if you don’t agree with the echo chamber. The people of this place aren’t any better. It’s a smaller pool with politics you align with in most cases.
The difference here is the admins can’t force mods to be their unpaid cucks and effect speech platform wide. Not that this place isn’t an echo chamber of progressive politics.
Yeah people forget what it was like when Harris was running. This place was absolutely disconnected from reality
You mean the people who were trying to decide whether they should vote for Harris based on her and Biden’s views on Israel? Pretty sure that would have turned out 100x better than what we got now.
You are indeed the person disconnected from reality that that user is referencing.
Would Harris have been marginally better? Sure, especially if you’re an American and have fully disconnected yourself from all foreign policy decisions.
Was she a good candidate considering the American electorate? No, she decided to be a Reagan era republican except even more racist and genocidal. We already had one of those running for the other side and those voters don’t change their letter.
Did she run a good campaign considering the historicity of the “independent voter” as well as the history of right-wing voters in this country? Absolutely not. She did every single possible thing to show she was not at all a choice for anyone not right wing, and we already had a right-wing president running for office on the republican side. She also showed absolutely ridiculous ignorance in the state of the American public by praising Biden during one of the worst economic periods in US history, directly caused by his policies.
The attitude on most lemmy instances was “vote blue no matter who dies.” You were not allowed to question why 1 million children in Gaza needed to die. You were not allowed to question why Iran needed to be invaded for their “continued transgressions.” You were not allowed to question why Biden intentionally destroyed the primary process and thus removed the entire fucking illusion of democracy in the democratic party. Hell when Biden was the candidate you were not allowed to question why a man who had one of the most public mental declines in world history, literally rivaling Nero, was the presumed candidate for president, especially given he had lower approval ratings than Trump by the end of his presidency.
You people (pejorative) were worked into this ridiculous cult-like frenzy, I suppose in response to the cult of Trump, not realizing that’s not why Trump won either time.
Regardless of her policies, many didn’t vote for Harris because she’s a black/asian woman. As long as Americans keep denying that, nothing will change.
The only people that did not vote for her because of her race and gender identity were never going to vote for a democrat, period.
So why did she spend her entire campaign exclusively catering to them?
No, some registered Democrats didn’t vote because of her race and gender as well.
Please provide any data, source, or survey for this claim that is not just ‘vibes some racist DNC/Shareblue commentator had.’
Because despite this claim being screeched by an extremely loud minority of non-intersectional identitarians for literally years at this point, I’ve yet to find a single person that believes this due to actual evidence they can provide.
Yes, the far-right that Harris spent the entirety of her campaign appealing to did not vote for her partially because of her race and gender.
Democrat voters that stayed home vs Obama or Biden did not give a shit about Harris’ identity. Just her history and politics, both of which were god awful for someone not running as a Republican.
Those people were being downvoted to oblivion, basically any opinion that wasn’t 100% support was being suppressed.
The right was overwhelmingly full of mysogynistic racists. The left was pissed about the state of policing and Palestine. Democratic leadership decided to check every box to ensure the right was whipped into a vote or die hysteria and the left would be on the fence but pointing this out was not allowed at the time.
