MaximilianKohlerReddit is dangerous. The admins are out of control. Humanity needs a viable alternative. – Blog covering the Reddit admins retaliating against me
I think you probably need some professional help, and also I think the way you look at social media is very different from how others look at social media.
Reddit isn’t Wikipedia or any type of online encyclopedia. It’s social media. It’s Twitter, it’s Facebook, it’s TikTok, etc
Grammaton ClericThen why do search engines always point me to Reddit links for information? 😂
Because it’s a site that is very good indexed. Doesn’t mean it’s like Wikipedia but it’s also loads of good content there…
I thought the emoji clearly marked my comment as a joke, but now I can see a laughing emoji wasn’t clear enough 😐
Because their algorithm has deduced that reddit results will get clicks. That is always the reason for everything engines do.
The more clicks it gets, the higher a result rises. Year, after year, after year. Every click is tracked. Every last one.
I imagine it began with specific questions and answers. Since reddit is the largest internet forum, anyone who has a somewhat obscure question needs a place to ask it. When someone else then punches that question into google, it’ll go to the only place it’s been answered so far, that niche internet forum.
Consider a video game question. “What build in whatever game is best for X?” Someone who wonders will ask in a game forum for that game. Every person after that, who wants that same information, will then be directed to where it now exists online–that post.
Also common with tech questions. “What does this error window mean and how do I fix it? My hardware is such-and-such and I’m running whatever version of the software” type questions.

I hate that “touch grass” is a common insult for something more people should be doing, which to go out into the world and get a technical detox.
I hope the author does step away. I’m concerned for their mental health.
HauiI‘m autistic and I usually take „tough grass“ at face value and feel like the person wants me to feel better. I know that’s most likely not the case but it’s how my brain works.
I hope the author does step away. I’m concerned for their mental health.
Thanks for your concern. I’m sure comments like yours will be very helpful for people with poor mental health.
Missed a /s ?
Not at all! I’m sure that people with poor mental health, or people on the cusp of such, would all benefit from being gaslighted by people with ulterior motives.
It’s ok to disagree with you. Just walk away and don’t take criticism or differing opinions as insults. People clearly don’t feel as strongly as you do and that’s ok. Hell, drop the account and get a new one if it will help you leave baggage behind. Best wishes, friend. Make a corner of the internet your own and be open to being changed.
You’re right! People in this thread were simply disagreeing with me and sharing differing opinions. How badly I misinterpreted their comments! I’m so sorry!
I never asked or expected you to apologise to me and your sarcasm is unwarranted. I engaged with you sincerely and in good faith.
Like I would think they were trolling if I didn’t know people like this in real life. It’s that incoherent mass rambling that they are sure is full of vital important information while somehow missing the more important things.
It makes me wonder if it’s more common lately or just it’s easy for these people to be on the Internet, or if just loneliness breaks you like this eventually and a combination of conspiracy, COVID, and other factors have made people that had potential issues escalate in the last couple years to fully unhealthy places.
They will not listen to anyone I guess cause from personal experience that tends to be true. Probably best course of action is to block them, instruct others to do so and let them be lonely and hopefully only self destructive.
Depressing as shit.
Ah, you’re probably right re. blocking, but, as you say, it is depressing. I think it is the loneliness, but it genuinely breaks my heart. There is also an element of “there go i, but for the grace of god”, even though i’m not religious, you know?
pancakesYou perhaps might want to take an introspective look at yourself because myself and others have seen a fair number of red flags.
Thanks! You and others have made some very insightful comments! The majority of comments and votes in this thread are clearly “organic from intelligent people who fled reddit because it was trash”.
I’m glad there are none from people with a clear agenda who asked GPT chat “how can I insult someone and attack them with ad hominems without breaking lemmy.world’s rules?”.
More and more I’m thinking that social media is just screwed. There is no viable alternative to the old reddit in sight. It’s all bots, special interest groups fighting for influence, and low-intelligence people sucking up mindless fluff content and regurgitating garbage.
Dude, hold up. Do you post the same comments multiple times in here? Like exact copies of your comments multiple times through this comment section.
Are you sure YOU aren’t the bot?
Also you are like paranoid as fuck and it’s really messed up. You are being rude just because you aren’t getting what you want and having people tell you how right you are. You remind me of my sister who has a drug addiction problem and schizophrenia. You really should try to seek help if you are able or maybe just actually find a real world hobby to focus on for a while.
They were similar but not exact.
Thanks for showing up to gaslight me! Another great contribution to this thread.
Do you think dozens of strangers are all commenting to gaslight you?
Oh no, of course not! Thinking like that will end you up in the looney bin! We wouldn’t want to end up there now would we! No no, it was just a very silly mistake on my end. Someone else helped me see that I simply misread the comments and votes in this thread, and that people are merely disagreeing with me and offering their personal opinions. That was very nice of them. What a foolish mistake I made! I’m so so sorry! Let’s all just go back to Reddit and forget the whole thing. We wouldn’t want to make those investors, advertisers, and other people interested in influencing public opinion, angry now would we!
I mean this sincerely, I think logging off of all social media for a while could improve your mental health. You don’t seem to be doing well, nor doing yourself any favors. Good luck, friend.
I just hope you know people are actually downvoting you for being toxic, not because they’re bots or part of some greater conspiracy.
You’re just giving off big “I’m 17, always told I was gifted, and need to whine online whenever people don’t bow before my awe-inspiring intellect.” vibes.
You might be trolling, but if you’re not, you’re on a dangerous path to extreme loneliness, despair, inadequacy, and blaming everyone else for all your issues.
Ah yes, I’m the one being toxic. Thanks for showing up to gaslight! Another great contribution to this thread.
