    arranging gooning meetups

    What?

    “Gooning is a flow state: an extended edging session marked by mindlessness, loss of control, and total surrender,”

    I had to stop reading this shit. I can’t believe there’s an article about it. I guess 404 can go ahead and go bankrupt, fuck off.

    Edit, to be fair, it was a quote from a Vice article.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if the ban was a pretext and the sub was just something admins found objectionable for their own reasons. Like as long as mods remove material and users when an issue is brought to their attention then the sub should be fine.

      The fact they don’t know why it happened is telling that they weren’t given a real chance to correct the issue. Just centralised social media things I guess.

        I feel like the real reason would be that Reddit suits know that Reddit is stereotyped as a gooner website and don’t want people to think redditors are gooners, which is very wishful thinking as everyone already knows they are some of the biggest gooners out there online.

          Being a gooner is a significantly more worthwhile investment of your limited time on this earth than being a reddit admin imho.

              I believe the admins do get paid. It’s the mods that were fucked over here that don’t get paid. I was really talking about your one’s overall contribution to humanity.

              EDIT: I didn’t like how personal this sounded, it wasn’t meant to.
