Why are redditors like this?

I made a post on r/civ (Civilization games subreddit) showing a really funky shaped randomly generated river I saw and most comments were fine but one guy was convinced that I went through the comparatively monumental effort of opening the map editor and changing the river for karma, as opposed to just starting the game and...

bermuda,

Maybe, but im not really the community leadership type of person

bermuda,

Not even mean, borderline conspiratorial in terms of fake stuff. I guess people have been “burned” a lot by fake stuff in the past, but even when something’s fake they bring out every pitchfork available. It’s like they don’t understand the concept of entertainment. Not everything has to be real to be entertaining.

I think I’ve seen more internet rioting over fake stuff than I have over genuinely bad things.

bermuda,

last year

not to downplay the events as tragic as they are but the headline made me think this happened like, yesterday.

bermuda,

Honestly I’m fine paying a subscription if the content is good. There’s one local news source that’s free that I’d be happy to pay a reasonable amount to view.

bermuda,

Is this not a forum? I’m confused on whatever definition you’re going for where private conversations make something a forum. What is this then?

bermuda,

When the idea of beehaw leaving the fediverse comes up I see a few users from outside of beehaw get pretty upset about it. I wonder if this is some kind of FOMO reaction? Just food for thought.

Today 4 years ago, Dr. Li Wenliang warned of a suspected SARS patient in a Wuhan WeChat group. Soon later, he was arrested for “making false comments on the Internet about unconfirmed SARS outbreak.” (harakahdaily.net)

Dr. Wenliang’s message went viral, becoming the earliest warning of what we now know today as Covid-19. He returned to work, but contracted Covid from a patient, and died on February 7, 2020....

bermuda,

I was in 12th grade and I remember my English teacher was weirdly prophetic about it. He told us that it would be the worst pandemic in decades, and this was before the US had its first case. Looking back, he was the only teacher I had who mentioned anything about it

bermuda,

Lived in Japan in the Kanto plain area (out of Tokyo) between 2014 - 2017 and this was always my worst nightmare. Hope as many people got to safety / high ground as possible.

bermuda,

Surprised they kept him alive. Although this is the Moscow times so I honestly would not be surprised if he’s not even alive.

Iran, child bride and year-long victim of domestic violence Samira Sabzian who killed her 'husband' has been been executed in Ghezelhesar Prison (www.iranhr.net)

Samira was a child bride married at 15 and a victim of domestic violence. She had two young children, one a new-born baby, when she was arrested and had not seen her children in ten years. She saw them for the first and last time when they came to the prison to say goodbye....

bermuda,

The US’s twenty years in Afghanistan should have taught the rest of the world the “forever wars” don’t work.

But I suppose not.

bermuda,

“we’ve investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing”

bermuda,

if you think Israel is an apartheid state or Ukraine is a nazi state, consider blocking me.

Doing a lot of putting your head in the sand lately, have we?

bermuda,

Hes gotta call the people actually helping “pedo guys” first

bermuda,

Once you find yourself arguing over words, you simultaneously find yourself missing the forest for the trees.

bermuda,

I know a few people in real life who are referring to them as freedom fighters.

bermuda,

The last part of what you said was what I was hoping to get at. To a few people I know, theyre freedom fighters and rebels before terrorists.

bermuda,

The travesty is how many people are unable to say this out loud. Everyone is stuck in their black & white tribalism, making them blind for their own sides atrocities.

Personally I don’t want to say it out loud because I’m just so mentally exhausted from the screaming. I know (like know, not just feel) that if I say this out loud in a more public space then somebody is gonna scream at me over it. And I just don’t want that anymore. I feel in this instance it’s better to just keep silent because I just hate it when people get so uppity at me over this kind of thing.

bermuda,

I assume it’s to cut down on wasted space from “thumbs up” and “Okay” emails.

bermuda,

I still find his answer funny: “And wouldn’t that be better?”

libertarians man, I swear

feels like every other one I meet just repeats what the rest of them say without even thinking about it. Reminds me of the video I saw where a leading libertarian presidential candidate said he supported driver’s licenses and the entire room booed him.
