Or the fediverse in general.

I wanted to ask everyone their personal least favorite communities on reddit.

Whic subreddits do you absolutely not (personally of course) want to see recreated as magazines here on kbin, or as fediverse communities in general?

My pet peeve is CMV. I always felt while the idea seemed doable on the surface, the implementation within that particular subreddit with the delta system, the requirement for the top level comments to oppose the OP even if the “view” is an established expert consensus on something like climate change made it impossible to have meaningful conversations.

I haven’t checked if we have a CMV magazine here, but as soon as I see one, I know I’m blocking it.

What is your “instant block” community?

    Chuds. I know they’re inevitable on any platform but my goodness we could do without their vile hatred. Any of the incel subs must stay gone. Also, cryptocurrency.

      Depends on the sub. At least for me, r/IncelExit and its modteam helped me crawl out of a dark hole some time ago. That sub is an invaluable resource against radicalization.

        FTX and Binance are just about the farthest away from decentralized. It’s in the hands of big money now.

            It’s a sad fact that they hold like 60% of all capital in the space. The hiccups of big tokens like Bitcoin and Ethereum add such a high overhead cost to transactions. The average user (and their dollars) must enter through these platforms or else get fleeced by the infinite scams out there.

            Crypto advocates always were libertarians. “The left” as a collective ideology were always against crypto since its inception.

            You sound like you are deluded, don’t know what you’re talking about or both. I’ll go with both.

                Being pedantic won’t save you here.

                Everyone knows what I mean when I say libertarians.

                If there was ever one political ideology generalized to being crypto advocates, it was “the US version” of libertarians, aka right leaning anarcho-capitalist types.

                “The left” never advocated for crypto. There were (again US style) liberals here and there who liked the idea, and a lot of people like to equate them with leftists for some reason even though they are center right, but I digress.

                The “true libertarians” as you said, also never advocated for crypto. Lib-left, never advocated for crypto. If I have to say it again: the left, in the original, global definition of the left, never advocated for crypto.
