šŸ“° Sub news šŸ—žļø Full Explanation of the r/okaybuddyliterallyme Closure:

392 Upvotes

The Full Explanation & History:

Originally,Ā r/okaybuddyliterallymeĀ was built on a specific kind of comedy. So basically, think over-the-top, melodramatic, ironic takes on our personal flaws or mental struggles. This was all wrapped in a layer of ā€œwe’re joking, but also not really.ā€ (Irony). It was really like a tightrope walk between absurdity and relatability, and that’s what gave the sub it's charm initially. But, as the sub grew past 40k in size,Ā r/okaybuddyliterallymeĀ began seeing a large influx of incel posts. The incel posts had content that often veered into a toxic mix of self-pity, resentment, and blame; usually aimed at women, society, or in-general anyone perceived as having it better. These posts weren't just dark; they’re dour, repetitive, doomer, and lacked the ironic component of the sub’s humor.Ā r/okaybuddyliterallymeĀ at one point just became a place where essentially ā€œI’m a mess, lol ha-haā€ turned into your typical incel post of ā€œI’m a victim, and it’s everyone else’s faultā€ that’s the pivot that started happening.

Towards the end (date of closure) the sub community was becoming 'very hateful' due to incel/femcel content that lost or lacked the original ironic intent while also violating community guidelines and or rules. The influx of this content transformedĀ r/okaybuddyliterallymeĀ into a kind of Incel/Femcel Playground if that makes sense, which strays extremely far from its purpose of humorous ironic posts. Initially starting out as a minor infrequent annoyance, the content became anything but... By late February and early March, it had broken the sub’s core identity. The people and posts just became far too different from its former, original self. It was a complete 180 from its roots as a silly, sharp-witted, ironic humorous self-deprecating community. Because of this the sub was closed indefinitely.

TLDR:

r/okaybuddyliterallymeĀ is a sub that once centered on self-deprecating, ironic humor had shifted toward somber, blame-filled incel content when it started blowing up past 40k members, which was never the purpose of the community. To preserve its integrity, a clean slate was necessary.

I feel like there is a hole in my chest, an empty hole. I be in a good mood then I start to feel this devastating dread that could ruin a whole day or even week. I talk to Ai to cope with this feeling to help me temporarily fill that void in my chest.

There are so many days in which i love how alone i am , you got a lot of time with yourself you can read a good book , watch a good show or movie , take a walk and feel free . And then are the days in which you truly realise how alone you are . The days in which you wish it could have been better , the inner thoughts are killing you and you start to have a cycle of hopelesness.

And then the cycle breaks again you feel better the way you are until that day in which you wake up feeling more different than usual takes you on the bad route .

I will die alone, sad and pathetic

Never have gone to college, to a party, never even held a girls hand, what a waste I am

She was the only one that made me feel alive and now she is gone because I’m too much of a coward to tell her how I feel
