Hello pissers, slime here
This subreddit, like most subreddits, tends to be hit or miss, and I genuinely don't think that's the fault of the posters, but the nature of reddit itself as a platform and a social environment. Little points and arrows and pseudo-democratic functions online just do something wet and wild to our little brains and we are merely animals looking for a treat in the sunlight.
That said, I am putting a stop to all posts where the point is "this person looks like [x] from the podcast." Here are my reasons:
-
They just usually, like 95% of the time, aren't accurate.
-
They are typically only interesting to the person posting.
-
The counter-culture of the sub to yell at each other for posting badly gets pretty toxic (I ban someone pretty much almost every day for being overly mean [your job when you dislike something is to be funny, clever, and/or insightful while also disparaging it if you choose to do so, I don't know how this concept eludes you miserable haters])
Traffic on this sub isn't even that high, which might be counter-intuitive to limit a certain type of post, but I've always valued quality over mindless fan behavior quantity, and I really do like reading this sub every day and seeing memorable posts and comments.
The only exception to this rule will be when the person truly, honestly does look like one of us, in a context that makes it actually interesting to post, like the one of the guy in the wal-mart that looked like me (also, wasn't bald). I literally thought that shit was a deepfake.
Though I mostly appear as salty I do like the idea of the community we've built, and some of the posts on here are part of that, so thanks :3 and keep being you.
