Some of you guys know this already but r/collapse is recommended to all new users when they join.
r/collapse and r/collapsesupport are full of depressed and otherwise mentally ill people who have convinced themselves that the world is ending to rationalize the way they feel. One of my friends IRL is like this and it's truly sad. I don't know why the frick reddit recommends these subs and I really think it does actual harm to people.
I've been in the situation where my mental problems were exacerbated by online interaction when I had body image issues and browsed /fit/, 4chan's fitness board. It's nearly impossible to get better unless you stop interacting with people who have the exact same issues and rationalizations as you.
Do you think emailing reddit chadmins would get them to stop recommending these subs? Am I a strag for caring about the wellbeing of r*dditors? Let me know what you think.

r/BoringDystopia used to be like this.
Now it's mostly r/antiwork bitching about how their employers expects them to work 8h a day, and how the landowner expects them to pay rent. Such a dystopia...

I think there's also an r/postcollapse or something where they all talk about developing skills to survive a post collapse dystopian world. Stuff like I'm a farmer, and mechanic engineer, and paramedic. I dunno I remember seeing it like 10 years ago

That place if full of doomers with very little idea of where the word is headed on policy and technology, the world isn't going to end unless you live somewhere in the 3rd world or China.

Iβm extremely fit and a generally happy person and I still think our world is on the verge of collapse. Kind of the ultimate in dramacoin.

No, the more redditors that take comfort in the rope, the better. We must not indulge in bourgeois sentimentality.

Your opinion apparently is that people should be allowed to use reddit to organise criminal conspiracies and aid, abet, command, counsel, induce or procure criminal activity.
You. Are a mental midget. A functional r-slur. An intellectual cripple. A dipshit. Clueless. A waste of oxygen. Your nasal mucus has more cognitive capability than what is between your ears. You have no career future. You're incapable of avoiding the moral pitfalls of a children's playspace. You eat unidentified food off the floors of fast food restaurants. You think your feces is fingerpaint. You cannot be left unattended in the restroom for more than thirty seconds lest you choke on potty paper.
YOU. ARE. A SHITHEAD.
Burn everything you have that has a keyboard and go back to kindergarten.

It's also a commie sub, like the entire premise is that society will collapse because we're currently living under late stage capitalism

I've just browsed r/collapse and you're totally right - it's odd to suggest that shit to new users. People are making prophecies out of some pretty mundane/regular things.
I agree with you - it seems like a recipe for disaster, and a good way for many people to fry any semblance of mental well-being. (And that's without even considering just how neurodivergent the typical Redditor is.)
Outside of a few specific issues, I don't think Reddit cares about anything that doesn't threaten investor relations.
The sad fact is that content like r/collapse will create high levels of engagement - just like hyper-partisan "rage-bait" news stories. Reddit thrives on this content, even when it comes at the detriment to the wellbeing of their users.
Yeah, you're definitely a cute twink. But you're a caring cute twink.

I pray for collapse. Itβs unlikely to end well for me but I know for a fact it wonβt end well for plebbitors.

We ARE plebbitors. Has everyone forgotten that r/drama was a sub on reddit, and one so obscure and esoteric that you would need to spend an unhealthy amount of time on reddit just to find it?

Yes but I also am aware that the average dramacel isn't much better in terms of smug stupidity, degeneracy, or amount of time spent being an r-slur on the internet.
Dramatards smugjerking about "da NPC plebbitors" is just like redditors smugjerking about how they're superior to the "heccin ignorant, problematic, subhuman redneck filth."
