I've never seen a single video on Lemmy of a dude punching a woman. That shit is on the front page of reddit every day.
Each individual video seems justifiable. Usually the girl is assaulting the dude first. But you have to wonder why videos of that act is a whole fucking genre into it'self.
I actually have never had that experience. Maybe something to do with how you curate your feed?
I was on reddit for about 15 years and I don’t think I ever saw a video of a dude punching a women. What subs did you spend your time on?
R/incelsRus. ?
I'm not on Reddit enough to recognize that as a common thing, but I was looking into something the other day, ended up on Reddit, took a peek at the front page, and right near the top was a dude punching a woman.
Anecdote of course, but what are the odds it's not a regular occurrence?
Now when I was actually using Reddit on the regular I'd have mostly only ever stuck to my own subscriptions or whatever it was called. But now that I'm not a regular user and not logged in, it means all I ever see when I go over there is the "All" tab -- which is presumably where the woman punching content is showing up.
i remember seeing it a few times on the front page (r/all?) you get on old.reddit.com when not logged in
I haven't logged into my reddit account in almost a decade. A few weeks ago I was searching for something and ended up on the reddit front page, and I saw a video of a man punching a woman. It's not about how one curates their feed; it is what new users are served.
The amount of "The [clearly disproportionate response] was completely justified here" I used to see in the comments on that genre is terrifying.
man my yt feed has been flooded recently with this shit.
generally, it's warranted, but I just keep asking myself, "why is YouTube force feeding me this garbage?" makes me wonder if they're trying to pump up the aggression against women so the US government can rip away more rights and protections for women.
I’m rather proud of how well we’ve done avoiding most of these. The threadiverse is interesting because of how different it is from the rest of the fediverse. It feels like most of mastodon left Twitter because they were tired of how toxic it was, most bookwyrm users left goodreads because it got to corporate, most pixelfed users left insta because they hate meta, loops left TikTok because of the US takeover etc. But here in the threadiverse it can sometimes feels like we spend a lot of time rehabilitating people who got kicked off Reddit for being too toxic, and I’m rather proud of us that it’s mostly a usable and pleasant experience, in particular because I attribute it to a lot of the oldheads being patient about helping people remember how to be people, rather than just another Reddit bot.
All I want is that top comments under posts are something insightful and related to the post, and not just the same one liner boring jokes that keep getting upvoted for some reason.
Milk
Any extreme intolerant politics, and group think
Milk
Unoriginal and boring "ask" threads
(Looks at this post I just made) :sigh: Milk lol

I'll defend these, at least a little bit. Yeah, it's obnoxious to get bland and repetitive slop to wade through, but there can be a fine line between that and some community-building in-jokes and shitposting, and I admit I am an absolute sucker for pun threads and especially "No that's ABC, You're thinking of XYZ" exchanges. Banter with familiar rhythms isn't necessarily toxic.
