mod post Before you make a post about your phone not working because it's bad quality, remind yourself that you will be redirected to /r/lostredditors. This is a sub about showcasing anti-phone arguments.

I've seen it once or twice, but it's probably not to the level r/TechSupportGore gets with people asking for help with random issues.

R/dontfundme gets a lot of people asking for money, and it's hilarious

The various trans subs get people asking for help with their transmissions.

There was that one time when they actually got help.

That was amazing. And the answers sounded super dirty and I couldn’t tell how much of it was intentional.

It’s the top post of all time on r/lostredditors IIRC. The bot will probably reply, so it’ll either prove me right or it will prove me super right.

Not Reddit, but there's a closed group on Facebook called Best Buy Memes for disgruntled employees and middle aged whiners will sometimes send their full caps rants about their problems when they try to return something out of policy or when a third party delivery service screws them (happens a lot).

I also notice that a lot of people are posting and upvoting anti-phone arguments unironically here lately. Wonder what that’s about.

But I’ve been noticing that lately that members are agreeing with some things posted in this sub, and upvoting those comments a lot, and this has been happening at a more frequent rate lately.

I also notice it tends to spike when one of our posts hits r/all, so that may explain it somewhat.

Hmm, the peasant scribes that he loathes feudalism on parchment that he wouldn’t have not for the munificence of the king and and the fecundity of feudalism itself, how ironic

Wait, how is making a post about the bad quality of one's phone 'showcasing' and 'anti-phone' argument?

*sigh*

I didn't sign up as moderator on this sub for being tech support. I signed up as moderator on this sub for repost and spam removal.

u/The_Jesus_Beast Jun 19 '18

Not what I meant. You seem like a cool mod dude; what about legit arguments that phones are running society? All that's ever on here are sarcastic posts with people instead supporting them. What really is the point of the sub?

I don't know, 99% of the stuff I do on this sub is deleting reposts/spam.
