It has a great interface (the old one) semi-anonymous no-email accounts, and a huge database and audience. There is no better online interface for quickly scanning headlines and reading comments.
But all of the organic traffic is from San Francisco/Left Coast Social Justice Warrior whackjobs, and the rest of it is US Air Force psychological operations spammed from Eglin Air Force Base in Valparaiso, Florida.
I can’t help myself. I go read some comment and want to tear my hair out. Until I realize I’m literally reading some purple-hair, facially-pierced, polygenderqueered sex worker, or an E-3 copy and pasting from a DoD script.
If you want to get really wild, go onto worldpolitics and you can also interact with Israeli college students getting paid 12 shekels an hour to copy and paste from the Hasbara binder.
Why do I do this to myself?
There is nowhere online for people who want to engage in substantive discussion about serious issues truthfull, except for the Unz Review (unz.com) and even then you have to ignore 50% of the commenters. The worst are the Ashkenazi hasbarats and the religious whack-nuts channeling E. Michael Jones and Maurice Pinay about the Judeo-Masonic Conspiracy theory controlled by the Elders of Zion and the Queen of England.
So many smart white guys have been utterly taken in by the Neo-Reaction NRx cult and its leaders (((Curtis Yarvin))) and Jim “Nine Year Old Girls Sneak Into My Bed When I’m Drunk” Donald. Intelligent, sharp guy who nevertheless have been utterly bamboozled by simplistic Dungeons & Dragons “models” where everything is “warriors, priests, and merchants.” The moral code is literally taken directed from Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Edition Two. Lawful Good, Chaotic Neutral, etc.
D&D nerds were the anime freaks of their day, the 80s and 90s, and just as pathetic. I long for an authoritarian state just so we can send all those people to the camps.
I’d spend every day shaming Affirmative Right for their gross counter-signaling and sucking up to Jews, but disqus is a horrible platform. TheZBlog.com has some good articles and some good commenters, but it’s impossible to post there due to their horrific interface.
But of course as soon as you build something yourself, you get banned by the ADL.

I won’t lie, reddit’s AskHistorians and BadHistory were honestly nice to visit years back since they had both interesting information and had some good take-downs of the likes of Tankies, Hitlerites, fedora-tippers, etc. I lost interest when that scene stopped being fun and became all about feminist cunthurt.

I started reddit back in 2009 I think? Just about the time they took over after Digg self-destructed. There were all sorts of interesting and niche subreddits, but eventually all the controversial ones were banned and the remaining just went hard SJW.
No clones ever took off because Reddit.com is literally a CIA project (In-Q-Tel) and most of its traffic is fake, a huge percentage of its user accounts are marketing bots and the rest are propagandists.
I remember the early days when “bacon” was a big meme. Why? Because one of their first big ad accounts was the Pork Council. Fun fact: I knew a woman that worked on that campaign.
How easy people are to manipulate. I mean, I’m southern, I love bacon, I eat it for breakfast every day. But to me it’s food, not a meme. But wow, did those kids fall for those memes, hard.

1. The most interesting Reddit communities get banned – r/incels (transitioned to incels.co), r/frenworld, r/basadodepartamento, etc. At least, there’s still r/jreg.
2. I’m banned on the Unz Review for trashing Putin and Palestine, what’s the point if they’re a boring echochamber?
3. Why can’t there be a forum where atheist homophobic NazBols are welcome?

“Why can’t there be a forum where atheist homophobic NazBols are welcome?”
Presumably, they are welcome on your blog, but you likely have no audience, which shows you there really isn’t much interest in atheist homophobic NazBolism.
Add in “incelism” and you’re likely to have even less of an audience.
I’m not particularly religious, I’m not above telling a gay joke now and again, and I’m all up for pro-white class warfare. But even I am not in the slightest bit interested in combining all that stuff into some edgy online posturing.
I first got big writing “manosphere” type stuff because it was an easy, popular hook – and who doesn’t like writing about sex? But I dropped it as soon I got banned from /r/theredpill and lost the traffic.
Which was good because it attracts a crowd of losers.

Yes, they are! But I made my blog yesterday. Blogs aren’t as comfy as fora anyway.
> “…which shows you there really isn’t much interest in atheist homophobic NazBolism.”
I beg to differ. To the East of the Iron Curtain, atheism is indeed synonymous with homophobia and traditionalism – and sodomite rights go hand in hand with the pro-American church. (Although LGBT is so unpopular, even Christians hate gays here.)

Last time I checked, incels.co had a post every 1~0 sec. I actually don’t like that wholesome forum because it is so crowded.

To you, it is edgy. To me, there is nothing else. Should I pray to a dead [imaginary] Jew and take it up the ass [from men]? No and no, thank you very much. Thus, homophobic atheism it is.
