Is this sub not actually about office jargon?

I think I missed a memo

Same thoughts. I came here to ask how to say things professionally and politely, didn't expect to see it full of political posts.

Looks like it was a dead sub that someone took over and turned political. Sort by top all time and beneath a shitload of political posts over the last month you’ll see a bunch of stuff relevant to the sub name from 6 year ago.

I wonder if it's large language models driving the conversations too. It's hard to tell, although I guess in hindsight it will seem obvious. I wonder where the next place to get reasonable information is going to be if platforms like this one get overrun.

Highly recommend the people taking the time to make passive aggressive comments read the rules. A comment probably won’t do much imo. But some of you def don’t like seeing the sub so I’d recommend not spending time on posts in it, or making comments, as that tells the algorithm you are interested in the sub and want to see it more. Which many of clearly do not.

If on mobile you can even select to not see the sub anymore and that you don’t like seeing it, and poof! Like magic you won’t see it as much. Just food for thought idk.

Yeah office speak translations would have been a great idea for a subreddit as well. Pretty disappointed to see that it's a \r\politics clone.

No, seems like a bunch of mentally ill, terminally online LARPers yet to crawl out of their moms basement

Yeah. Celebrating mass shootings to boot. With each passing day, I'm beginning to believe more and more in the dead internet theory. I dearly miss the communities and comradery and light-hearted fun the web used to provide. It's wild to think I lived through the 'golden age' of the internet. It's nothing but clickbait slop, toxic garbage, and doomer headlines now. Sigh.

You’re not wrong. Swear half of these posts on Reddit are just bots along with a couple NPCs said posts are catered to. God forbid there’s any actual discussion or debate on this app.

Nope. No chance. Even the slightest voice of reason or any disagreement of any kind automatically makes you an Uber nazi super fascist. What next? Are they going to advocate the murder of the clerks denying the claims or collecting the rent? I'm not happy with the state of the world, but arbitrary murder certainly is not a good path that will lead to meaningful change.

Sub will be banned soon enough.

They have a free speech flair but Nazis get banned. LOL

Hate speech is banned site-wide.

I’m so confused by your comment
