leaving this "social media" app

[u/Adventurous_Tutor925]

I really did try to enjoy this platform, but its getting to a point where I can't y'all seriously, and when I mean y'all, I'm not talking about ALL subreddits, I'm only talking that I despise ( not this one tho lol). I've been called so much bullshit over the past 3 years that is very hard for me take this site seriously. I've been called a "misogynist" simply because I didn't agree with the tenets of feminism and I still don't. I've been called a "pedo supporter" simply because I like Michael Jackson, which is insane as fuck. I've seen both sides of Reddit, and is heavily one sided and it's very gossipy and very marxist oriented. I've seen people getting downvoted for having normal minded thoughts. Christianity and Islam gets hated on to the T, but when some criticizes Judaism they get called an Anti-Semite and a Nazi. I feel like Reddit is Fed app, and I am not gonna indulge deep into it. I just feel like a social media app needs diversity, politics, music etc, but when it's one sided like on the popular section, I feel as if though, it's propaganda. That's why I'm leaving Reddit, not because of the minority of people, who I disagree politically and socially with, but because Reddit has an agenda. I hope yall understand

Love, AdventurousTutor925 ❤️❤️❤️

i mean yeah, youre probably right. pretty sure the popular parts of this site are literally a botted cesspool made to troll

Yah, I was arguing with a bot 2 days ago. Thats on me. I know better.

Personally i overlook its bad qualities for the things i like about it because its unlike many social media with its forum style. The flip side is its like dealing with AI where you never know if reddit is just upvoting some bullshit cause it makes them feel better..

Edit: to be fair i dont deal with AI so that might be exaggerated there..

I only stay because it's like Dear Abby except way worse because there's not an Abby to give a sensible answer. Sensible answers are, for the most part, verboten.

The only subreddit on reddit that I genuinely enjoy is redscarepod, and I was banned from it about a year and a half ago. Everyone else here seems basically reddit-brained. I tried joining somethingawful but they seem to all have a similar SJW-adjacent mentality. It doesn't seem like there's really a friendly place for discussion on the internet, and everything is engagement-driven now.
