I'm sure as long as you aren't a Jew or one of those very icky brown people 4chan is very welcoming

After the Charlottesville protests and the guy ran everyone down with his car, I went to /b and it was flooded with messages telling everyone to attack more people with cars

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 6 points 1 month ago

That's exactly what any sane person would expect to see when looking at that cesspool at that time.

Reddit's whole identity is racism. I think maybe OOP was trying to say an apples to apples comparison is possible.

[–] Traister101@lemmy.today 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean like most of us I came from Reddit. If I knew which sub the post was in I'd have a pretty solid opinion but as is I'd assume they probably got downvoted to hell for some unfair reason. Happened to anyone active on occasion so it wouldn't be surprising. Since it has so many up votes I can't imagine, without the context of the particular sub, that they weren't just getting piled on.

I looked it up out of curiosity. The post acknowledges, or at least implies that 4chan users use more slurs, and doesn't touch on racism otherwise.
For my part, I don't think there's a large gulf between racist opinions on the two platforms, just on decorum regarding slurs.

Ah, r/unpopularopinion one of the subs I almost never visited cause 90% of the stuff on there was just plain stupid.

For my part, I don't think there's a large gulf between racist opinions on the two platforms, just on decorum regarding slurs.

Yeah. I'd probably make the argument that 4chan is just open about the racism while other platforms like reddit have at least some enforcement leading to it being less blatant.

I had a nasty habit to argue with subreddit mods after being banned for mild violations. Obviously that would only happen when the penalty had been inadequate, otherwise I would keep my mouth shut.

It happened two times, at first I was banned for a week on the whole platform. Second time, I was permanently banned from reddit.

Mind you, these two were the only occasions I was banned from reddit per se. I would naturally receive bans on various subreddit for reasons, but never from the entire website.

Funny how the most powerful people on reddit are also most fragile and best protected by the admins.

[–] Old_Yharnam@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Reddit is full of the most dishonest lying pieces of shit for mods and admins.

And they keep shoving more and more ads in their website and bots are running more rampant now, so it’s a sinking ship

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 month ago

You get what you pay for.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

goodness how i despise power tripping moderators.

i've been a mod in one pretty large and active online community and somehow power has never gotten into my head, but i've seen so many completely trip out over the smallest non-issues, fucking bizarre

[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm curious how that constituted not just community rules, but sitewide rules

[–] bountygiver@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

are they banning mentions of any other social media? Since there's a lot of names lemmy instances can go by.

[–] cralder@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

The screenshot says this violated rule 4 or the sitewide rules:

Rule 4

Do not share or encourage the sharing of sexual, abusive, or suggestive content involving minors. Any predatory or inappropriate behavior involving a minor is also strictly prohibited.

[–] Aria@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 month ago

I really don't think they're scared of Lemmy.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

its a bad sign when 4chan feels more welcoming than your site

i think the only upside about reddit right now is that you can limit yourself to the subs you like and be mostly free of the bullshit (yet)

[–] bruhsoulz@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I hate the 4chan captcha it sucks ass tho

You must wait 6,000 years...

You sound like a robot

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

confirmation came swift and sure

[–] ColdWater@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Any site is more welcoming than R****t dare I say even Twitter is slightly better than it

[–] ReeSilva@bolha.forum 26 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I advise you to spend 5 minutes on LinkedIn. It is enough to make even Twitter looks like heaven

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

No, I don't think I will.

[–] onlooker@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 month ago

reeSilva is correct, but for the sake of everyone's sanity: AVOID LINKEDIN AT ALL COSTS. That's where all the self-important and out of touch people hang out and they're the absolute worst.

[–] mattw@beehaw.org 3 points 1 month ago

I dunno. I enjoy the drive-by trolls that go after middle managers or other weird ego driven robots for the shit content they publish. It's all virtue signaling to what they think their corporate heroes will pat them on the head for if they sound like an upper management sociopath.

[–] linkhidalgogato@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

u will probably feel less welcomed if u arent white and male and a rightoid in 4chan than reddit but honestly not by much, i think the critical difference is that on reddit u can filter ur experience so all the shits stains hang out in their own subs and the normal people avoid them, but im not sure if that is actually better, because it permits a site which is at least tolerant of some of the shittiest ideologies and prejudices around to be main stream while everyone rightfully regards 4chan as what it truly is.

i suppose its much the same here with lemmy being pretty respectable but with vile people being allowed to leak thru from right wing cesspools like lemmy.world.
