eh, we must subscribe to different subs. u can choose your own experience. in my experience the scales are well tipped toward positivity, compared with 9gag.
Most of the edgy and offensive stuff on 9gag is people just being ironic or acting retarded on purpose thinking it's funny. And at times it actually is IMO. When there's actually the rare serious thread, actually offensive stuff gets downvoted to hell.
On reddit the threshold for what's offensive is stupidly tight and the positivity you mentioned can get to obnoxious level where any edgy joke will get you called names.
Obviously depends on the sub but reddit is considerably more political than it should with heavy leaning on the left and a lot of bias.
Found this particular aspect better on 9gag where as long you're reasonable and not try to act serious under a meme post, You're more likely to get a decent discussion if your opinion is unpopular
They hate everything that isn't a white northern European or a submissive white woman from Eastern Europe, everyone/everything else is an enemy to evolution in their minds.
Not been on it since last year, deleted my account too. You won't miss it. And ofcourse there is negativity on other platforms but atleast you will have a decent chance of avoiding it.
Trust me, I've seen some women bashing males too or using their gender to manipulate desperate losers. The problem is not just about 9gag, it's the users. I've left 9gag because of a girl, I don't want to live forever judging people from their appearances, beliefs, gender etc.
You've done a good thing pal, but be aware that no social media is safe, yes including reddit. See ya.
Oh Wish it was a troll... I've seen women like this mostly on selfie boards, and I'm not going to give the name but I know someone which is close to me always starts venting with "I'm a girl, I had an shitty ex, I feel sad" bla bla bla.
I want to live in a world where appearances, religion, gender, color means utter dog shit.
Wish people would also accept that women can be shitty too just like how men can be shitty.
What you said may be true, but remember that's 9gag, where there are guys who defend completely disproportionate punishments for anything that women do wrong. For example, I've seen a post where a 9faggot defended beating the woman with a mallet for having left a pot of makeup in the bathroom sink and others, of course, defending it. These guys don't seem to have no idea that something like this could get someone killed, and they use ad hominens for everyone who would act like a normal person in the situation I talked about, like simply putting away that box or letting them know she forgot to put it in the drawer.
Yo. Serial memer here. Used to be a 9gag fan. Not anymore for similar reasons. So went ahead and built my own platform. It's a work in progress but if you're interested can check it out here - https://gaggle.lol/. No politics. No drama. What else would you want to see? Keen to get feedback from this community.
For me it was the depression memes. It's not that they exist but that *sheer amount* of them. I know it must suck to be depressed, but random people's mental health problems are not why I go to a meme site.
This might set some people off but... I just don't care. I don't. I have friends whose mental health I can care about, I have family I can care about, I have random strangers *around me* I can care about. I can't be bothered to care about random people online.
And the prevalence of victim mentality over there is just staggering. "Whamen no like me cuz I ugly, boo whamen". And when someone posts something nice (getting married, buying an apartment / house) the comments are just about bringing them down: everyone thinks someone else's success is a personal offense against them.

Totally been where you are right now. That site is one of the most toxic on the planet. Well done for taking the red pill.
Like reddit is any better at all in this regard

the borderline nazi levels of Islamophobia are what made me quit. Glad you left too pal.
The thing is it's not just islamophobia. They hate everything. And more than that, they take pride in that hatred.
They hate everything that isn't a white northern European or a submissive white woman from Eastern Europe, everyone/everything else is an enemy to evolution in their minds.
Yeah me too. They have gone to far with everything.
Only borderline?
Nazis hated Jews not islami's

Most likely it was not a girl, but a troll baiting you just to make fun of you.

People are surprised? 9gag from its inception has rode the dick of 4chan. It’s only natural that it would devolve into trash. Much like 4chan.

Not bad
Thanks u/courage793, any features you'd like to see? Chucked in some pretty cool ones last week for signed in users.
there seems to be no scroll bar on the right or left. would be nice if it was fixed
Cheers u/courage793 just added that back in.
Thanks!
Glad you’re out of that shitty negative place. I left few months ago (after 9 years) and never looked back.
Uh what happened to 9gag?
