I was threatened on Reddit for using emojis!!

"Hey! I noticed you used an emoji.

I don’t know if you’re new here, so I’ll let you off the hook this time. Using emojis is frowned upon here on this great site, and for good reason. Instagram normies often use them, and you don’t want to be a normie, do you?

If I catch you using an emoji in the future, I’ll be forced to issue a downvote to your comment. Why should you care, you may ask? Well to begin, you will lose karma on your account, which is a useful social status tool and also a way to show others you know your way around Reddit.

If you were to continue the use of emojis, I would be forced to privately message you about your slip-up. Any further offenses past that would leave me no other option than to report your account. I don’t think I have to explain why you don’t want that.

But anyways, no harm done yet! Follow these simple rules and you’ll enjoy your future on Reddit! Have a blessed (and hopefully emoji-free) day, stranger."

Reddit mods hold on very tightly to a small amount of power most of us wouldn’t give a damn about.

They also love to remind you that “this is Reddit. Reddit is better and I make the rules here!”

A lot of the sub Reddits are run by Karens. I usually tell them to go fuck themselves.

What subreddit were you on OP?

Is the mod Miss. Togar? Reddit seems full of the most ridiculous BS one can concoct, but with a public 'stocks' element where group shaming takes flogging to a verbal form.

What's next? A demerit? Detention? for life??

Except for obvious ones like 🍆, I have to google Datalounge emojis if I want to know what they mean.

It's a copypasta OP

What exactly does that mean, R14?

Seeing that subreddit only confused me more.

by Anonymousreply 15May 18, 2025 7:57 PM

ohhhhh

Copypasta, a term originating from the internet, refers to a block of text that has been copied and pasted repeatedly across various online platforms.

Here's a breakdown of the meaning:

Copied and Pasted: The core concept is that the text isn't original to the person posting it but is taken from somewhere else. Repeatedly: Copypasta is characterized by its widespread distribution, appearing on multiple forums, social media, and other online spaces. Purpose: Copypasta can serve various purposes, including --

Humor: Often used as an inside joke, to be humorous or absurd. Satire: To ridicule or satirize the original text or its author. Trolling: To provoke reactions from others who might believe it to be genuine. Attention Seeking: To gain attention or start conversations. Social Commentary: Sometimes, copypasta is used to make a point about society or culture.

Origin: The term is a combination of "copy" and "paste", referencing the computer function, and "pasta," implying that the text is like a repeatedly copied recipe or ingredient.

In essence, copypasta is a form of internet meme, a block of text that spreads virally through copying and pasting, often used for comedic or satirical effect

Good god, Reddit mods have little Napoleon complexes. And I say this as someone who was hoodwinked into being a mod as a favor for a friend.

To be fair, it is a thankless, pay-less job. You're basically the recess aide amongst semi-adults who are always wanting you to step in and punish whoever it is that they're telling on. I lasted one year. Never again.

TwOP Reddit.

What emojis did you use?

So I, too, can judge you.

by Anonymousreply 19May 18, 2025 8:20 PM

R18, to be fair, the moderators of TWoP were just as bad as the Reddit ones, only in a different way.

"... this great site ..."

It's Reddit. It's a Dumpster fire of stupid.

"Miss, with all due respect, I have my own problems. I have no time to accommodate everyone else’s. My sister is suffering HIV right now. Is anyone worried about my problems? Some people can be so damn selfish. Next time you e-mail me with any requests, you will be reported. Have a great day!"

TRAITRESS! YOU deserve it too for using that horrid site instead of DL

by Anonymousreply 24May 19, 2025 1:37 AM

I tried to do Reddit once or twice, but i found it too "woke" and stifling.

It's teeming with progressives, who are easily offended by everything and believe in censorship.

by Anonymousreply 25May 19, 2025 1:44 AM

And such killjoys!

by Anonymousreply 26May 19, 2025 1:45 AM

As an original poster on Reddit from Day One, I am so flummoxed by the new youngsters posting there now. I don't know that I would even call them woke. They're just so incredibly judgmental and whiny. It reminds me more of old fraus from before.
