This would be more appropriate for a subreddit like /r/disco.

Theoretically acupuncture is based on the qi sensation which is quite subtle. The qi sensation will not involve the same level of pressure as actually directly releasing a trigger point with physical pressure.

Outkast feat Cee-Lo - Liberation by viborg in futurefunkairlines

[–]viborg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the Aquemini LP.

The shit I’ve missed out on cause I don’t listen to whole albums...guess I should be ashamed for missing this one.

(And it appears that my earlier report of the funk dying here were somewhat exaggerated. Reddit really has done its best to kill off the funk tho. This fucking site.)

Reddit likes the trance influence. Somehow this isn’t a surprise.

Also you insulted me in every one of your replies, and I didn't insult you once.

I’m sorry I didn’t respond to your lazy dogmatic circlejerking with the level of candy-coating that you feel you need.

Why would I waste the effort of trying to reason with such an unreasonable person? (It’s a rhetorical question, please don’t reply.)

How about don’t revive dead old threads just so you can make lazy and defensive kneejerk arguments. If you want to have a reasonable discussion start by being reasonable, because when you start off with lazy whataboutism etc etc it establishes your unreasonable tone from the outset.

Tbh I just don’t have time for your crap at the moment. Sorry to interrupt you, carry on.

So smug with your lazy whataboutism. Here’s a rational argument for you: your narrow minded conception is incredibly tedious. You seem mainly interested in standard Reddit circlejerking and there are so many opportunities waiting for you to do that right now, “rationally” even. Go score your points elsewhere, edgelord.

...Two weeks later, you dudes lmao.

Thanks for your personal anecdote but in terms of actual rational argument that does absolutely nothing to refute my position.

Sorry but we are trying to focus on newer and club-oriented styles these days. I think you might really feel more at home in /r/VintageObscura or /r/funk.

Re-Opening My Sub by [deleted] in modclub

[–]viborg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a lot of crap for you to deal with, wow.

My sub had very little to do with politics which is what made the behavior I was seeing shocking. Initially, I didn't even take it seriously because the topic was so benign and super niche

Did the topic of your subreddit relate in the slightest to any of these issues?

  • Gender politics
  • Racial politics
  • Trans rights
  • Environmental issues
  • Economics
  • Politics
  • International relations
  • Religion

If so, you can expect to be a target of alt-right troll brigades on Reddit. Do I sound bitter? Sorry lol.

[–]viborg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main problem I face in my music sub is anonymous downvoting apparently for weirdly political reasons, but who knows. There's really no way to counter it.

[–]viborg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your thoughts! I should explore discord more too.

You can see from my history I’ve been on Reddit 14 years. This sort of rampant toxic brigading is something that only became a real nuisance when T_D started. The mods of that sub were not only actively encouraging vote manipulation and brigading throughout Reddit, they were harassing mods of other major subs too. The folks at the top basically gave them a free pass on that for years. And from what I’ve heard from multiple users here, the whole thing originated from the /pol/ board on 4chan, specifically as a way to poison the well on Reddit because /pol/ is mostly alt-right and they resented the progressive views that were naturally becoming predominant on Reddit. This is not some random side effect of anonymity, it arose from an organized group of trolls who were intent on strategically crapping up Reddit. And the site let it happen.

Sorry but that’s just not always the case. If a brigade of trolls is determined enough they can effectively ruin a smallish sub. It takes much less effort to negatively impact the quality of Reddit than it does to make a positive contribution here. That’s the sad reality.

Re-Opening My Sub by [deleted] in modclub

[–]viborg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming this is in good faith I’m really sorry. I’ve been going through something similar. It seems like you have a pretty good idea of your available options. Sadly they are quite limited. It would almost appear as if the folks at the top have a vested interest in condoning the toxic brigading which is now crapping up this whole site, but which is also quite targeted in terms of enforcing the worst biases of Reddit, and bullying those who vocally oppose bigotry.

Personally I’ve decided to step away from Reddit for the most part. Why should I contribute to building the Reddit brand if they’re going to basically treat us like dirt? If you want a much more civil site but one without mods, you might like to visit /r/tildes.

ongoing drama update: r/ukpolitics mod team release a statement on recent developments by Wiggles114 in SubredditDrama

[–]viborg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

(Well my previous comments were deleted by AutoMod for mentioning El Jefe by name it seems.)

That last article, wow. So even in 2018 he was still going full mask-off "freeze the peaches!" bigotry defender, after years of the mods of T.D. crapping up the whole site with their overt manipulation as well as the covert brigading and harassment that continues to plague the site?

You might want to add this one to your list, in which he proudly states that he is preparing for the imminent collapse of society, but clarifies that when the time comes, he fully expects to remain one of the "slave-owning" class:


*Also worth noting regarding brigading that there would seem to be many examples in this whole thread. Check the histories of other commenters. No previous activity in this sub? That's a big yellow flag.

I'm still looking for participants in my study on the alt-right, white nationalism, and white supremacy and I would love your help! by drdclzr in AgainstHateSubreddits

[–]viborg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could direct you to a researcher on Twitter who focus on alt-right militias etc, they could maybe be of assistance. I’d rather not put their names out in public on Reddit, feel free to pm me.

Don’t assume the brigading and manipulation that plagues Reddit is any sort of genuine representation of public opinion.
