You don’t even realize you’re evil and that’s the sadist part.

It’s an American problem.

We are right next door and Canada has had less murders in 25 years than America has in one.

You all hate each other so much you have zero empathy and hair trigger tempers. Add a plethora of guns to the mix and you have a powder keg that never stops going off.

You have a constant stream of media telling you to be angry all the time, I get it, we get a lot of that crap crossing the border and being online with Americans makes me fucking angry but you have to just walk away from the constant noise. I know because I have to do the same. The internet isn’t an escape anymore, it’s a war zone and I’m so tired of fighting.

I’m just so fucking tired.

I had been on reddit for well over a decade. Joined because I miss message boards that died when Facebook became a thing. I spent almost 15 years on different message boards for different interests and just wanted that feeling of community back.

And it was fine, until americans decided to go full blown nazi. Now there is nothing but americans shitting on every minority they can get away with and reddit mods do fuck all about it.

Not everyone online is american and the rest of us are fucking done with their bullshit. The internet is a global community not a recruiting platform for nazis.

In 20 years you’re going to be trying to find something to watch and flicking through the channels/streamers you’re going to see it and realize you haven’t watched it in ages. Then the nostalgia will kick in and it won’t seem half as bad as you thought it was in 2017 (dear god 2037 isn’t as far away as it feels 🫨) and you’ll actually enjoy it. You might even have a few youngins you want to share the experience with and you’ll spend Christmas vacation watching the entire franchise with the littles.

It happens to all of us eventually. Well, a lot of us.

People HATED the prequels when they came out, trust me. Your kids will love the new trilogy and you’ll remember it with fondness. That’s just the way it goes.

I had been on reddit since 2008, I was looking for an alternative to the message boards I belonged to after the popularity of Facebook killed them off. I really enjoyed it, not the same level of community that you find in a message board but still good for conversation.

Then trump happened and it turned to shit. It’s so fucking toxic and I ended up getting banned for defending myself. Apparently fascism is good and standing up for yourself goes against community standards.

I’m a disabled 49 year old just looking for conversation. Facebook is also a toxic wasteland now. To say I miss myspace is an understatement but there’s hardly anyone there anymore.

I’m happy whenever I find a place that’s put the social back into social media because antisocial media is just trash.
