Suggestions

This topic right here is meant to condense the talk page as well as help whenever suggesting subreddits that could be added onto the page. — TheEternalOutsider (talk) 05:24, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

R/GamingCircleJerk

Are we sure we should be recommending this subreddit to people? A prominent Youtuber, The Act Man, released a video on the Hogwarts: Legacy boycott about a year ago that criticized the response to Hogwarts: Legacy from communities like r/gamingcirclejerk, which included "Have They Played That Wizarding Game Yet?", a website that listed streamers on Twitch who were playing the game and arguably encouraged the harassment of those streamers, as well as pushback against the Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, who had, ironically, intended to play the game while raising money for a trans rights activist fund. When Act Man tried to encourage boycotters to donate the $60 that would have gone to Hogwarts: Legacy to a trans lifeline, he only received mockery in return. For this reason, I'm a bit hesitant to include r/gamingcirclejerk as a "recommended" subreddit. 131.194.201.104 (talk) 04:29, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

I think It should be added since that sub basically straight up banned me when I showed them new data that Autism could be a psychotic condition since NMDA receptor is now being accepted as a cause/trigger, The /r/Shittygaming no any better as I got banned there for the same BS. This was in the Unjerk threads Purplefuzz (talk) 12:01, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

I get that its a circlejerk but ppl shouldn’t be this much of a piece of shit losers https://youtu.be/q5rQYd97IT8?feature=shared 2600:387:F:4713:0:0:0:8 (talk) 14:50, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Bump. TheOneAndOnlyCirrusMan (talk) 18:48, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

To me, two YouTube rants and a person declaring that they got banned is not really great evidence of anything. The only thing I've found from Googling is that the sub makes fun of The Act Man and Asmongold some. Both of these two streamers seem to be of the "I'm gamer I hate SJW" type, so such would fit the jerk sub's paradigm. BobJohnson (talk) 20:51, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

This article is a dumping ground for "if I don't like it, it must be bad" subreddits

Take r/psychonauts as an example. What exactly makes psychonautics objectionable, and why is it relevant that some psychonauts are "likely to be mentally ill"? Carthage (talk) 08:17, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

/r/The_Donald

I don't have it immediately on hand, but someone (perhaps me) ought to dive in and see if the fact r/T_D pinned a post promoting the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville ahead of time was captured by any web archives. This did happen, not sure if it was archived. Chillpilled (talk) 11:16, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

100k sub rule

Does the rule apply also to non-crank subs? Does a different rule apply? Dimpossibl (talk) 22:07, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Sorry for being a newbie, but does this rule determine notability for subs, or what is this about? Lucern99 (talk) 22:12, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
