While I was away ( dodging the forthcoming game of thrones scenario on here) I signed up to Reddit. Instant ban from ask an American conservative sub ( they make Trump sound sane) not withstanding it has been a blast. Anyone else dipped their toes. It really can be a lot of fun.

I don't know what to make of it really. It seems very big and unwieldy and quite censorious which I don't like.
What sub-forums were you on?

There are good forums, the British ones, vinyl and lot's of music forums. Trueoffmychest is a hoot. Any u.S or vegan subs are to be avoided. It has it's faults but , you would have a blast there Dougie. It was made for you. It is a little hard to explore but typing in words in the search engine brings up groups and other posters mention subs that I visit occasionally. It lacks the warmth and cosiness of preludin. It takes awhile to build up the karma points and you may not be able to post until your karma is higher or you have been on it for less than a month.

Their football streaming channel, footybite is excellent. Never seen so many Spurs games in a season as this one and last, even when I had a season ticket for WHL. Never ventured further, never will. It's too big.

You have to swat aside a few ads, it buffers occasionally and sometimes you can't get full screen orcommentary, but as sone of the streams are in Spanish and Portuguese, and the Eglish language ones usually in drivel, no particular hardship.

Ah,right. Ok I will give it a whirl I was using Facebook for live footy but it has the same problems writ large. None of the tap here links ever seem to work.

Well , that's a Reddit thing. It seems to mean that if you are a socialist say ,deliberately attacking a conservative sub. It is raised , normally ( as in my case) because I wasn't letting someone explain Putin's current Ukraine strategy to be used to prove that the left (not Communists) always enable the far right to have control.The post heading was ,If you are going to comment on Ukraine, you should at least get educated on it: A US-Backed, Far Right–Led Revolution in Ukraine Helped Bring Us to the Brink of War I asked him how and he basically said everyone is stupid and I should learn about facism in Italy and Germany. I said that wasn't really the case and like the Ukraine scenario nothing is ever that cut and dry. He accused me of brigading ( I called it a discussion) he said this wasn't a place for liberals like me or opinions. I posted this.
An assumption of liberalism and a differing knowledge or opinion of the worldview. Tell me, when circle- jerking is it more exciting when a new dick joins the club or do you just prefer the feel of each other. Engage, always engage. Everything and everyone is stupid to you.
Banned for ever. The mods do this on other sites , nearly always on the right wing or religious sites. The funny thing is that this particular sub has an " extreme" version where liberals are removed immediately.Reddit can be fun like that. Under the actual rules brigading isn't actually against any of it's rules. There wouldn't be much point in a forum otherwise, that's another point that the guy who banned me didn't like.

Well there's no arguing with people like that. There's a lot of fanatics around these days.

It's not the only place like that, though. I've started cutting the sleeves off my t-shirts!
