[Vent] Reddit is not very friendly to me or to disabled people, it feels
-
Whoof, yikes, yeah.
Reddit is just chock full of random harassment.
We’ve gotten some here too but it’s not anywhere NEAR as bad. Here we feel relatively safe using ‘we’ and signing our messages. We’ve mostly stopped using ‘we’ on reddit and I get the occasional mocking comments about signing my name.

It is, for sure. I’m so sorry you’ve gotten so negative messages. By the way, do you maybe happen to plural?? I am too! So far, we have one other known headmate, he’s Mark! His English is not the best, though, we are natively Spanish.

Yeah!! We’re plural too! Oh that’s awesome. *wags*
We have a lot of people, but most of us only showed up a couple times and just haven’t shown up again much since (they’re all still there though). We’ve got a group of like five or six people who front regularly.

I hate to post about Reddit on a non-Reddit platform, but come on! Reddit is super overrated, like they delete and downvote every post and comment I make whereas no one does that here. One time, they told my friend who happens to be autistic, LGBT, and a fictionkin that she “might as well just kill herself”, though that got removed, thankfully, and they call me stupid and delete my post and talk about what a stupid question it is that no one can answer when I, who is autistic, ask a question on why someone acts a certain way or why society has to be a certain way. I’M AUTISTIC. I DON’T GET QUESTIONS THAT COME NATURALLY TO EVERYONE ELSE AND I ASK QUESTIONS THAT NO ONE THINKS OF. MY BRAIN WORKS DIFFERENTLY, MR. REDDITOR!!!
lol no one here is going to say anything nice about reddit

wendyz Reddit has a real problem with being built around oversized, hyperactive spaces, and sround tyrany of the majority thanks to their up/downvote mechanics. This resulte in a space where being early to a discussion and then dunking on someone or on some unpopular strawman gets you not just attention, but also a metacurrency that grants you access to more “discerning” spaces.
When communities become too big, thy just become voids to scream into, because no one is reading the comments. They’re just trying to get noticed. That turns them into deeply toxiv plates that turn on anyone trying to have an actual discussion about things.

Yea Lemmy isn’t much better.
lemmy never really took off and probably never will =/

You sure said it. Society in general isn’t too friendly to disabled individuals
You have to fit into a certain fucking mold. I didn’t ask to be here, want to be here, and I’m making plans to fuck off to some mountain, and crossbow anyone who bothers me.
I just needed to be allowed to buy cheap meds that aren’t even narcotic, stimulant, or hallucinogenic, just something to reabsorb Dopamine and Noradrenaline.

It’s obvious that Reddit hates disabled people since they killed alt front-ends for the blind community a while back.
It floors me that all these Internet companies that ignore accessibility aren’t getting smacked down by the ADA (and similar laws elsewhere).

I removed my posts on several occasions and they showed up when not logged in. their process for removing posts just seem to hide your own posts from your login from what I can tell.
I think if you did it quickly when it first became popular, they were actually purged. Later, Reddit implemented countermeasures.

Ooo, cool!!! I’m glad I found a plural collective here!

I like it here a lot better than most other networks.

I think it did kinda work at first as I did do it several times but I think they restored from some sort of backup and then went to the just hide it from your logged in user.

I feel like a lot of the unkindness and meanness is manufactured on purpose to divide us,
Fuck you, you’re wrong, you loser.
(hopefully the bit I quoted makes it clear I’m being VERY silly and not serious
)WHAT? FUCK YOU MATE!

Yeah Reddit is a giant pile of dogshit. Good riddance.
I have to ask, did your friend get told to kill themselves because of being a gay autistic furry or was it for something else?
I think you’re probably implying that is it, but I’ve been told on reddit to kill myself for all kinds of things that are less interesting than that.

Sucks to be awesome, i guess.
I could not imagine what it would be like to feel so threatened as to be filled with such a hateful sentiment. I should really say it sucks to be whoever that kind of person is.
