I am not sure which is more cringey, the litany of erroneous assumptions you splayed out or the act of calling upon the student archetype with the intent of derision. Anti-intellectualism, check. src

on point 🎯 snappy👌, on fucking point.💯💯💯

Sentient.

Admins have done this to /r/t_d numerous times. How is this drama?

Because they get butthurt every time

(((admins))) 😱👻🎃🎺💀🎺💀🎃

T_D posts get spezzed pretty regularly. We're used to it, but we still like to make a fuss. Reddit doesn't know what to do about their most High Energy sub. :-D

Last bastion of free speech on Reddit amirite? ¯\_(ツ) _/¯

Free speech on the internet never existed, you fucking minges

Get over it and shitpost harder

ban this cuck /s

/s

First of all, how dare you?!

Ignore the leftist retards, I love you guys <3

Leftists are like tits on a boar-hog.

I love boar hog tits I suckle them every chance I get

It would be all sorts of -phobics not to.

High Autism, not High Energy.

You will have to be more specific than that.

That's a lot of emojis. Chelsea Manning, is that you?

Shouldn't they, though?

I don't get redditors. Do you have like, no self-respect? I get that you were all dorks in high school, but why do you think most normal people would just accept getting fucked with, without getting angry? That doesn't typically happen, and that you all don't get angry when people fuck with you, just tells me that most of you have been little bitches your whole life.

I just can't shake this image in my head of all of you being spaghetti-armed, bucktoothed weasels who used to snicker while being bullied in the hopes that bully would learn to like your subservience.

You now know why most of these betas post in places like SRD.

It's a website man, getting mad about it is super retarded. Plenty of things to get mad about but imaginary internet points and "that guy I totally have a beef with on /r/spacedicks" are not any of them, and if it is then... yeh I bet you were the kind of person who got swirlies or nuggies or Chinese burns or whatever traditionally happens in American schools (in England school traditions normally include consensual sodomy, but we're just classier).

Or you can wipe your tears away and look at the upvote percentage. It's <50% meaning less than 50% of the people upvoted it, meaning it is in the negative.

Ah yes, the "admins" did this.

Yeah everyone knows there's no such thing as admins

Then who is spez

A cuck.

Large if verifiable.

Refrain from sleeping, family member.

Woke af fam

Swole, on the condition that it is not CNN.

(((admins)))

It was me ✡️

It's not the admins, but everyone on r/all downvoting their retarded asses. What's the point of setting the counter to 0 if the post still shows up on the front page of r/all?

Thats kinda the whole point. If it was legitimate downvotes and not admins fucking around it wouldnt be on r/all

You don't get to r/all for up/downvote ratio, but "activity" (net amount of upvotes and comments)

big if true

So you can get there by being downvoted to oblivion? Seems unlikely.

You can get there by having thousands of virgin teenagers upvoting a post in the first few minutes even if eventually being on /r/all exposes the post to thousands and some more virgin teenagers happy to downvote it.

Wait, people here don't actually think it's the admins doing this do they? No way you could be that retarded.

Im no computer nerd but why the fuck would a post with zero karma be on the front page. Shit makes no sense to work that way and if you wanna act like the shitmins havent already set a precedent for this kind of crap then you would be the retard.

Admin 1: I've got an idea on how to censor /r/the_donald: let's set any front page post by them to 0, but still keep it on the front page for hours afterwards.

Admin 2: Wow! What an amazing idea! Soros will give us big bucks for that one!

Are you implying that EarnestNoMeta might actually be retarded?

If he isn't i would gladly imply that in his place.

I think the way the reddit voting algorithm works is that the effects of downvotes take a little bit to kick in. If a post hits zero it sort of just hags around a bit and then after a set time finally acts as if it has zero downvotes.

Also i'm sure behind the scenes the upvote count isn't actually zero it's just fluctuating madly as people upvote/downvote it. Upvote downvote counts are just a fake number to give you an idea of how popular a thread is but not exactly.

Apparently they removed that because it helps keep spam bots from accurately knowing how well the post was received? At least that was the reason they gave.

it’s not actually zero, it’s negative

Because the front page of r/all isn't just a pure upvote counter.

Kys post bussy mayo

I, too, am a true /r/drama user and South Park neutral, my friends!

this but ironically

The admins have literally changed the voting algorithm twice to keep TD off the front page, and the CEO of the damn company was editing comments in TD to troll them.

Of course the admins would do this.

So they are keeping T_D off of the front page by... keeping their posts on the front page? You don't think that maybe there's something else going on here that isn't you being victimized?

So they are keeping T_D off of the front page by... keeping their posts on the front page?

I mean, you must be retarded, because anyone would realize that we have in fact had a significant decline in posts on the front page from TD. It used to be that you would get 2 or 3 because the subreddit was so active, but they changed the algorithm for the entirety of reddit, and allowed you to filter subreddits on /r/all just to prevent exposure to TD.

They didn't do that when there was 6 posts from sandersforpresident on the top 100. They only did it for TD.

I'd say that the the resetting to 0 is the method admins use to prevent TD posts from climbing into the top 10/5 or reaching number 1 on reddit.

Well, it's hard to argue with logic like that. I'm just glad all you pederasts are still here, making Reddit even more money.

Reddit censoring trump stuff is good for the greater movement.

Muh persecution complex

mayocide

Go first

yay-a-ya-y-ay-aya

Just because one is paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get you

It used to be that you would get 2 or 3 because the subreddit was so active

Alright, this has gotta be bait.

I'd say that the the resetting to 0 is the method admins use to prevent TD posts from climbing into the top 10/5 or reaching number 1 on reddit.

"They control the site, but they can only act in the most obvious and clearly visible ways."

The admins would ban them if they were actually vote brigading.

What on earth are you talking about, and what does it have to do with what I said?

Why are you so defensive? :)

That's not defensiveness, it's a genuine inquiry as to why you're experiencing such difficulty in simply holding a conversation.

Were you in a fraternity during college?

Why are you wasting my time?

I could ask you the same thing. I'm just trying to determine if you have social status and are worth talking to.

Have you really not fucked off, yet?

whats your discord name

i don’t know who “them” refers to, but what could possibly possess you to think this?

previous actions by the admin. they consistently ban subs if they vote brigade

oh so you mean a specific subreddit

idk, /r/drama is still standing

drama doesnt brigade or cheat. it's 100% authentic

we brigade all the time, it's just ok because we're drunk and doing it accidentally

because anyone would realize that we have in fact had a significant decline in posts on the front page from TD.

not sure if moving goalposts, or actually too stupid to understand what he meant

He was editing the comments as damage control when WaPo linked to the thread, but you are otherwise spot on.

Reason enough to believe that he had edited comments before.

How was it damage control?

It actually happens often, so, yes?

What does it happening often have to do with anything? Wouldn't the admins come up with a better system if they were actually doing this?

Yeah, reddit admins will totally come up with a better system. Right after they deal with all of their mods being volunteer crazy people.

That's not how /r/all works. When you sort by hot, it doesn't care which way you vote, only that you voted.

Wow so you admit brigading did you know that's against the rules?

It's impossible to get to 0 once you're on /r/all due to vote fuzzing so that doesn't even make sense.

Hey you totally sound like you know what you're talking about so I'll just put my blind trust in what you said

What do I know? Being on reddit 11 years and all.

The admins themselves said it was as I said though.

Because we all know how trustworthy the admins are.

more trustworthy than some random guy on r/drama at least

Not at all. The admins are provably untrustworthy unlike random dramaspergs.

Admins themselves said what?

If it's being set to 0 manually then the admins would be the ones doing it.

It's not being set at 0 retard, that is pointless if the post remains in the front page anyway. People are downvoting it. You can check the post, it says 47% or something upvoted. That means 53% of votes on the post have been downvotes.

I seriously hope you're merely pretending to be retarded

Vote fuzzing has been a thing for years.

The %s are irrelevant.

Okay, let's dispel some myths about how reddit works:

Vote fuzzing absolutely does not work in this way. Each post has a "true" score (upvotes - downvotes (or as Python: ups - downs). What vote fuzzing does is adjust this final score based on the controversiality of a story. A controversial story will display a slightly different number, but this does not affect ranking at all.

In addition, the maximum amount a post is fuzzed, is, to put is bluntly, minimal. Votes do not gain or lose thousands of points as a result of vote fuzzing. It's in the matter of points, or tens of points. A item that has 25,235 points could be expressed as having 25,200-25,250 points, and I believe this is either reasonably accurate, or 100% so (although I need more data on this).

I've seen the effect happen before on /r/pics, a subreddit about photos. There was a post of a model or something, someone had found out something, and people were pissed and reacted very negatively to it.

The score following it plummeted. Due to how reddit works, votes are not processed instantaneously (this is what causes the appeared "vote locking" phenomenon, and why you can see something like "30% upvoted" with a positive post score, something that's normally mathematically impossible), and the /hot pages are updated even less frequently. It was still on the front page for a period of time.

It's even worse when you're talking about the front page (and not /r/all) since that is updated every 15 minutes or so, much less frequently than even the /r/all listing pages.

Don't spread misinformation.

Don't spread misinformation.

no please do

Is /r/all realtime? I kinda doubt it.

Magatards reeeeeing about imaginary persecution is pretty dramatic.

Because it’s censorship and propaganda when others subvert the votes of redditors or those in democratic primary but the left doesn’t care as they choose to be victims of the machine

That's the r/the_donald's userbase in a nutshell.

What kind of potato did he take the picture with? 🤔

Do you really want a clearer picture?

Nooooooo pls no :(

/u/munnarius don't go ramming your car into white women now

Wouldn't consider killing someone unless they tried to kill me. No reason to do something as atrocious as ram a car into a random person I don't even know.

You should probably stop hanging around with people that do think that way, then.

From what I've seen, anyone I've personally met who flies it/would fly it is just an edgy fuck like myself, although I can't speak for everyone.

I'm far from a white supremacist, as anyone who knows me can attest.

so you only fly a nazi flag as a joke and shirk off responsibility at the first sign of consequences.

That video is you

A Kekistan flag. I care about the memes and hate when someone makes it political. Politically, I'm actually a centrist.

Did that as a joke, told my friends I would and so I did

u/ProphetofKek, whats it like being this fucking autistic?

hates reddit

Profile says:

gifts on behalf of /u/ProphetOfKek have helped pay for 231.26 minutes of reddit server time

Didn't buy it, asked people to stop. I don't control others behavior.

Maybe delete your account? That idea never crossed your brilliant based™ mind? No?

I want you to REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE more ;)

Why would he be upset that Trump is an alpha genius theatrefag?

I'm not, but I'm always down for a good REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Granted, not for lack of trying.

Why don't you go to Voat?

Definitely better than being /U/Ed_ButteredToast !

Did you mean /u/Ed_ButteredToast instead of /U/Ed_ButteredToast?


I am a new bot, and I may have made a mistake. Remember, I can't do anything against ninja-edits.

What is my purpose? I correct subreddit and user links that have a capital R or U, which are unusable on PC (but work fine on mobile).

Good bot! u/lovemesometoasts

Absolutely scathing.

He posted a "spezzit" calling us a "cuckreddit"

Link?

Your comment, the one I replied to.

Why do the admins do this stupid shit it always stays on the front page anyway

It's not admins, the donald bumrushes with upvotes till it hits the frontpage, /r/all then downvotes the fuck out of it till it hits zero, the algorithm leaves it up there because early votes count for a ton more than later ones.

Why isn't it in the negatives then tho

Because posts don't go below zero for any reason. Go make a submission now and downvote it yourself. It won't be -1, it'll be zero.

huh didn't know that thank you :D

No problem, reddit's voting system can be pretty opaque, partly by design to combat spambots.

negative votes for posts don’t exist. the lowest it can go is zero

TIL

Because they don't, its just makes it to the front page and then is downvoted into oblivion where it shows up as 0

Set to zero

Such butthurt cucks

...

Reddit is disgusting

And so on, crying continues.

Even though I'd consider myself pretty liberal even I can see this is fucked. When will reddit learn that censoring different political opinions is basically the definition of the fascism they're supposedly against?

Downvoting is fascism!!!!

FREE SPEECH MEANS YOU CANT BE MEAN TO ME!!!!!

lol it says 47% upvoted on the side. Which means it reached /r/all and got downvoted heavily and has negative karma right now which shows as 0. But I doubt pedes can understand percentages.

All the downvote were made by illegals and shouldn't count

But I doubt pedes can understand percentages.

They've already proven they don't. They think probability % = vote %

Tbf tons of people did. If Trump has a 30-40% chance I'd winning, him winning is pretty damn likely, and you shouldn't treat the election like a certain thing

No, I mean the ones who said the polls were way off because they were comparing odds to votes

The Rust Belt state polls were way off. Ohio was supposed to be +2 Trump, it was +9. Other rust belt polls were similarly off

Oh for sure. Those were definitely off, even more than usual for state polls. I'm talking about the ones who thought 531 saying the probability was 71-29 meant that they were estimating a 71-29 vote %

People just really don’t understand how probabilities or polls work

Doesn't help that they never report the confidence interval.

They think not posting it builds rapport among their own and to demoralize those who actually voted for trump at the time.

you see, they predicted trump had a 29% chance of winning but he won so it was actually a 100% chance of winning

But I loved her anyway. ;_;

Wisconsin is full of deplorables whose votes are unwanted, though.

There's always Jeb!

For all we know, Gore would've won the Florida recount if Jeb! hadn't fucked him over. Funny how the terrible candidates screw easy other over

They both would be presidents if they listened to Bill.

They also think they have 6 million subscribers. If they hate reddit so much why don't they move to voat? O wait voat hates them

if that were the case then Trump would have lost with only 30% of the vote lol

Posts are hidden from r/all from t_d though...

Is this a somewhat recent change? I’ve seen submissions with negative numbers in the past.

It's been several months at least. Remember all those pics of Trump that T_D kept posting that used to go down to 0 votes?

Hmm, ok. Ill have to test this myself.

I think these guys still don't understand how a popular vote works.

As far as the shit that usually get posted there goes, that one was actually pretty funny tbqh

Does T_D know the election is over? Y'all won. Bludgeoning the bloated horse-corpse of the Hildabeest is not going to magically make Trump into a less retarded president.

The rest of Reddit doesn't know that Trump won yet either.

Are you saying Bernie still has a shot? Match me!

I JUST DONATED ALLLL MY MOOONEY

Nuh uh. Le Drumpf is going to be inpeached because of Russians any day now.

Pretending to be retarded etc etc

"pretending"

Indeed, thinking the Russia bullshit still has any legs is pretty retarded.

Why are you virtue signaling in my general direction

I have no virtues so I really don't know what the fuck you are on about.

still got 9 more months babe

6000 updoots away from impeachment!

Someone should tell Hillary the election is over.

She knows, she just wants to sell her shitty book.

If Hillary would just shut the fuck up and go away like a good little loser I think you'd see a lot less posts about her.

Instead 10 minutes after a mass shooting she's using the blood of the victims to try to further her political agenda in an effort to stay even remotely relevant

DAE SILENCERS ?????!!!

If we had banned silencers then all of Paddock's victims would still be alive.

We should make what he did a crime.

WEW LAD

Yeah, yeah, how dare anyone try to further their political agenda of reducing gun deaths in the wake of a mass shooting.

DAE terrorist attack => expel all the muzzies!!!

Except that Hillary proved once again that she's an idiot and knows nothing meaningful about guns.

Her "point" about suppressors is a non-point. There are 1.3 Million legally owned suppressors in the United States today yet there are less than 44 criminal instances involving them per year and most of those are unlawful carry/concealment/use, not violent crime.

Hillary doesn't matter you fucking mongoloid. It makes exactly zero difference whether she knows shit about guns or not.

You're spending all your time shitting yourself over an unemployed 70 year old woman who lives in the woods.

You're spending all your time shitting yourself over...

That's most of reddit and all of r/drama. Just shit and let shit man.

Funny, it seems that CNN, NBC et. al. also live in those same woods.

Stop being a nigger

she's using the blood of the victims to try to further her political agenda

Translation: she's commenting on a mass shooting (that did actually happened, contrary to what Alex Jones says) and using that as an example of how gun laws need to be changed to prevent similar situations from happening.

okay i kinda see that we both mean the same thing but you're making it out like she's hurting the victims of the shooting by using them to push an anti gun message. if i was one of those victims I would gladly let Hillary Clinton do whatever she wanted to my blood if it meant passing laws that would prevent me from getting sniped by an angry white boy

Except that gun control, including prohibition isn't going to do anything to stop violent crime

Yeah, the entire developed world outside of the United States is simply a statistical anomaly.

Let's see her options, she could: condone the actions of the killer, offer sympathy to the victims, use the opportunity to help unite a divided nation or blame the NRA for gun accessories that were never used in the attack. What a wise choice she made.

it's not an either or thing, hillary did all those things you imply she didn't do (like condemning the killer and offering sympathy to victims). i agree with you that in this case there was no reason for her to call out for restricting silencers but like I don't think it's inherently bad for someone to use a tragedy as evidence or reason to bring up a relevant issue- i guess well just agree to disagree

use the opportunity to help unite a divided nation

That doesn't actually mean anything though. You aren't going to unite parties that fundamentally disagree

What about banning silencers would had prevented the attack?

some other attack then i guess

idk i don’t speak senility

You sound pretty triggered over a tweet, my friend.

I'm triggered by the abject stupidity communicated in 140 characters or less...

Then how do you put up with worshipping your slobbering daddy?

see i don’t get this

if she was still running, then yeah, it’d be using a mass shooting to shamelessly promote a political agenda

but otherwise it’s shamelessly using a political agenda to try and prevent mass shootings

Y'all

Drink the bleach

Y'all niggas need Jesus.

I wish T_D would finally read the room and realize that their dumb ideas are only well received on their subreddit. Somebody should turn the lights on so they skitter on to the underside of the fridge that is voat.

That would require them to know how to read.

They do.

Lol didn't know that. Did they think reddit T_D wasn't as loyal or something?

not racist enough

Those cuckfags' (((moderators))) wouldn't let them discuss the JQ

They hate that t_d is super ban-happy. Say what you want about national socialism, at least its an ethos.

Nah they hate it because it's Alt-Lite. They see T_D as people who sympathise with the Jewish menace, they hate the mods for banning any negative talk on (((them))) and cringe at their memes. Tbh anyone can make better memes than T_D

Meh, at least they're not petrified by innocent memes.

It's weird, because Breivik is one of the heroes of the alt right and he was as pro Israel as an American evangelical.

If Breivik had gone on /pol/, he'd have been faced with 'go away JIDF' and 'sure schlomo' all the time.

As long as it's WikiLeaks dumps or shitty pepe memes, sure they do.

They know they're alone with their ideas but like all large groups of retards they're convinced it's everyone else who is stupid.

I know that the only good people left on /pol/ hate them so I can imagine Voat does too.

Well, they tried to migrate to voat but got shitted on by everyone so much they had to come back to reddit two days later (or less). They still managed to call that a victory.

t_d is the only thing that unites all extremists, everybody hates them.

Im still waiting for the day for spez to say fuck it and delete the sub just for shits and giggles

This will certainly convince the alt-right that there is no globalist media conspiracy against them...

But there isn't. We hate them openly and shamelessly. A conspirace suggests secret coordination among multiple actors. In reality, multiple people just happened to decide T_D sucks dingleberries and they are to be fucked with in any way possible.

The admins have openly discriminated against that sub many, many times.

Yes, they have. That's not a conspiracy, it's a fuck you. Nothing secret about it.

Except where they go to extreme pains to pretend their overhauls have nothing at all to do with that sub.

The time /r/News keep removing Pulse Shooting threads and removing posts about where to donate blood and the Admins response was to ban The Donald off the Front page

rofl

Right, because that's what the majority of Reddit users want.

Honestly, which part of his comment did you fail to understand?

As they should have. Retards shouldn't have any rights.

Sweet Hillary, our liberal goddess from above. We have failed you. ;_;

Barawo up to his old tricks.

STOP

FUCKING

BUYING

Glided x5

/u/spez: AYYYYYY LMAO

Spoiler: SHE WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT.

Not much of a spoiler from that guy. This already happened. Unless Hillary can go back and reset the timeline, she's through.

Love her or hate her, the fact is that Hillary's days in the political arena are for the most part, over. Right now she's just sounding off to make herself feel important again, that's all.

There are 2 pro hillary delusions thrown about right now

That impeachment (because Russia obviously rigged the election) mean a redo of the 2016 election and two that Hillary has a chance in 2020

Facebook is great

i'm not going to a sub that obscures a quarter of the screen real estate with a picture no matter how juicy the drama is.

One of the few times when an np. link comes in handy. Somehow it removes the picture.

I wonder what would have happened to T_D if Blumpf had host

That title is pretty funny to me... especially in light of the fact that there have been all these other 'photo aggregate' posts in the last week.
