I made a post on r/civ (Civilization games subreddit) showing a really funky shaped randomly generated river I saw and most comments were fine but one guy was convinced that I went through the comparatively monumental effort of opening the map editor and changing the river for karma, as opposed to just starting the game and taking a screenshot.

And just to top it off another guy saw the fact that my scout unit was in the far north of the map and went on an obscenely condescending diatribe about how "ackshually" I should be placing my units in the far south of the map because that way I can explore better and whatever the hell. Dude did not stop for one second to consider that maybe the scout that was in the far north was exploring the cool river and that I didn't waste any production points on him because I got him for free from a tribal village...

God every time I go on that website (because let's be honest not a whole lot of good communities here for what I'm interested in) I get excited to share something super innocent and then some total loser has to come and ruin it all.

I went to Reddit today and in a subreddit, they were literally joking about firebombing someone and how it would be disappointing if someone did it.

Reddit is basically truth social 2.0 at this point

I've seen open calls for murder here too, with lots of upvotes and hours old

Outright hate speech as well, with plenty of upvotes.

Those people will get banned if they are in a subreddit where people will report it. It's pretty easy to get banned from reddit if you don't follow certain social conventions and beliefs.

Especially the social convention and belief of not firebombing other people. That one of pretty high on the list.

I got banned from a subreddit for being to aggressive when calling out people who were justifying and calling for fire bombing of churches.

I'm pretty sure that was also used against me when I got banned from the whole platform but I'll never know for sure.
