🤔 I wonder what the "RED" in "REDDIT" stands for?

I've always felt that the whole karma game on reddit was to get us used to accepting social credit and being governed by our scores. ..like they do in China.

Reddit is the most unfriendly site I've ever used. I thought G+ was pretty bad, and it was, same with Quora where their attempts at stifling bullies didn't do anything to stop any bullying. It just changed the type of bullies. The weak have become the new bullies

The amount of bullying im subjected to on any given day is ridiculous, and the amount of subs I've been banned from permanently for sticking up for myself is more than i can keep track of. I just found out today that most of the jokes i post get deleted by mods, which is disturbing, but now im beginning to understand why the trends in jokes have become much less clever or cerebral and more juvenile and predictable.

I make up a lot of my jokes. They're mostly corny but somewhat clever. I try to post them in appropriate subs for their content, which is sad that comedy has been so divided, the latest joke i made up was about why surgeons don't make good Obstetricians. It's because when they're told to deliver a baby, they remove it's liver (de liver. Like deworm). At first I said they cut out its liver but that got me flagged. So I posted it on the dark humor sub. It's kind of dark I guess. I got flagged there also. LOL I don't know what dark humor is then. I hope they're not talking about black jokes.

I commented on a post about a pickup truck taking up two spots in an empty parking lot. There's a bunch of hateful things being said about the guy they don't know. And what it look like to me was something that I have to do sometimes when there's no accessible handicap parking or when somebody parks in the loading zone of one of those spots, I have to go take up two spots so I can unload my son.. if I don't take up two spots and I just unload him next to an empty one, the odds are that spot's going to be full when I come back and I won't be able to load him back up without backing out into the main flow of things stopping traffic and loading him up in the middle of the parking lot. I explained that thinking it would relieve some people from all this hate they were spewing but instead they directed it at me and when I stuck up for myself, I received a warning from Reddit saying that I violated the terms of Reddit and if it happens again they will ban me. But they really didn't say why , and they didn't tell me how I violated anything, but they gave me 200 characters to explain myself. I was still on the introduction of my lecture to them when I ran out of characters.


On a reply to another comment on that same post, I mentioned something about disabled people needing that loading zone or it's useless rather than saying wheelchair bound which was already established but another member of the disabled community tore into me for being insensitive about those who are disabled but don't need the loading zone. You know the ones with the hangnails and shin splints who cause me to have to go take up two spaces when all the handicap parking is full. I feel like I'm being trolled out of my own community. Anyway, rather than write a big long narrative that will either be conveniently misunderstood or won't be read at all but will surely be downvoted, I decided to take the Reddit approach and report them.

OMG! I couldn't believe how much positive reinforcement I got from Reddit for doing so. I concluded that that's the other part of it. It's more communist indoctrination. they're getting us used to snitching each other off to Big Brother and not letting us take matters into our own hands. They're getting us used to living like they do in China.

I've mentioned a few times in a few different posts how Reddit karma is like Chinese social credit and every time I do, my comment gets removed. We're like a bunch of frogs a nice warm body of water that's slowly coming to a boil
