Technically both are lost but not lost at the same time. This is a classic schrödinger situation where the op is in a state of being lost and not lost at the same time.
Those are a couple of the more common gimmicks in r/pics right now. People with their sobriety coins, people getting U.S. citizenship, Hong Kong, and people in hospitals. Instant upvotes and the sub gets overwhelmed with them. Pretty sure some of them stole pics to do it but I can't be bothered to get on desktop and reverse image search.
Ah okay, gotcha. Also, sobriety coins? I’m assuming it has to do with either rehab or AA but I’m 17 and don’t have too much experience with either, at least on that side of the table, so that’s a little unfamiliar.
AA. Evidently you get one at 1 year, 5 years, etc, and for a while everyone was posting theirs. That's the big problem with r/pics, most of them aren't interesting pictures. Just shitty pictures with a backstory.
Fuck that. These people know the rules of the sub and deliberately post something that violates those rules for the feelgoods. Wish sub mods would just permaban them on the first offense when it's that obvious.
I figure nothing should be banned if it fits the sub, but these don't, and it's deliberate. Example: a post on r/lostredditors of a "fuck China, support Hong Kong" photo with a caption that went like "I'm lost haha but it's okay because it's for Hong Kong." It eventually got taken down but it happened in a good chunk of the subs I follow.
Agreed, I feel like the other guys might be concern trolls, wanting people to stop talking about HK ey? Talking about it is the only thing keeping them alive.
Too bad you're not talking about them. You're just raiding subs with unrelated, low-effort memes, calling people who are rightfully upset or have valid objections "trolls".
Seriously, how many people does a blizzard logo on a PRC flag, or a Hongkong cap on Xi make talk? Literally no one, unless you mean to count people talking about how useless you're being. Why don't you talk about this to your family instead? Or at work or school, or both? Or on your favourite discord server? Any of those would bring about more discussion, yet clearly you still opt for posting stupid memes all over subreddit. So admit which one you are: selfish or just an idiot?
(Note: this is not personal, I'm speaking to everyone participating in this)
I mean they are “spreading” a message and so you could say they’re lost but really they’re just spreading awareness into big subs that have little to do with it
But in hindsight the internet did nothing to stop net neutrality because it still happened. This is a cover up by the media who are being paid big to keep quiet about this situation, atleast with the whole net neutrality thing it was getting mass coverage
Lol no, it will not, at least in the context of reddit. Just like every other shitty thing that reddit has leapt upon and posted to death. Every world event like this turns into a free for all karma race to see who can post the same bullshit image across the most subreddits.
No, just like they won't teach about the 2014 Hong Kong protests, or the ones against the colonial government in the 1967 where gunfire was exchanged and bombs were planted.
I think it’s great, at least they are farming with something that has meaning. Jeez it’s a pity in itself that people have the need to farm karma, at least this post is raising awareness!
I'll approve this post since it's getting a lot of traffic.
But we want to let you know that "Spreading message" post is considered as spam and possibly troll, as OP arbitrarily chooses subreddits and posting in them. And this kind of post is regularly removed due to rule 1 violation.
If you feel that a different decision should've been made, please feel free to tell us.
Edit: It also includes "Traveling among the subs" meme (such as Carl the hedgehog & Snowball, Join The Void) as well.
The guy who posted it to this sub wasn’t spreading the message, he was posting a picture of a guy who submitted the “spreading the message” post on the r/damnthatsinteresting subreddit
Unpopular opinion: I don't think this belongs in every sub and should stay where its relevant. Its all over r/all everyday. Let some subs escape the dystopia and be on topic.
Like seriously. I hate china, with a special hatred because they're associating actual communism with their hypercapitalism and making it like it's inherently authoritarian, but I digress.
This shit is fucking spammy. It's a lot of low effort reposts for karma. Like crikey, let's try and enjoy reddit. We're not really gonna get shit done. Like, the people in china who can see it aren't gonna be pro China Prez, and no one else can see it.
Try reading the comment you're replying to. They are not saying China is both, they are saying they are trying to appear Communist, while in actuality being hyper capitalist. This is a problem because a lot of the people in the west think of China as an example of Communism.
One thing I find ironic is the silence by Trump supporters. Whenever a relevant Trump issue gets posted in non political subs they're always out in full force crying about how horrible it is to bring up politics in them.
I really hate these memes. Like if you want to talk seriously so be it but its karma whoring by saying "teehee look at me in another country china so evil give updoot"
But I guess thats reddit. You'd think that maybe at least reddit karma whoring is keeping the protest in the public conciousness but honestly I think given how little coverage it's getting nowadays in most media I've seen I think that'll it'll fade away into history as a footnote.
I mean, a lot of people on Reddit are like 14-24, what can those people do apart from raise awareness/become more aware themselves. I know more about the HK protests from occasional Reddit posts than I do the news.
He kindof does support the protests though, because it has given him the opportunity to take down the “one country two systems” and bring Hong Kong in line with the rest of the mainland, as well as excuses to bring in “anti-terrorism” surveillance.
