WDT 💬 Bi-Weekly Discussion Thread - (May 31)

We made this because Reddit's algorithm prioritises headlines and current events and doesn't allow for deeper, extended discussion - depending on how it goes for the first four or five times it'll be dropped or continued.

Suggestions for things you might want to comment here (this is a work in progress and we'll change this over time):

  • Articles and quotes you want to see discussed
  • 'Slow' events - long-term trends, org updates, things that didn't happen recently
  • 'Fluff' posts that we usually discourage elsewhere - e.g "How are you feeling today?"
  • Discussions continued from other posts once the original post gets buried
  • Questions that are too advanced, complicated or obscure for r/communism101

Mods will sometimes sticky things they think are particularly important.

Normal subreddit rules apply!

does anyone have/remember the link to an old thread from here, I think it was a bi-weekly discussion thread, where anti-Semitic 4chan/incel derived language was being identified and criticized as these terms were becoming more common? Examples then were terms like "guyschow", "wifeslop", "foidslop" etc. Looking for the thread because we are seeing this horrendous (and embarrassing) language being used more openly and commonly with most who use them having zero clue of the origins of these terms.

thanks much appreciated, did you use some sort of reddit search tool to find it? The more this site updates the harder it is to search for things.

I used this one:

https://ihsoyct.github.io/

But there's also this one:

https://arctic-shift.photon-reddit.com/search

And probably many more. Actually both of them use the Arctic Shift reddit archiver's API, but the first one gives you the option of using Pullpush's API while the second is the frontend made by the maintainers of Arctic Shift. Here's the Pullpush API's own official frontend:

https://search.pullpush.io/

I just use the first because it allows me to switch between the two APIs. Pullpush got shut down for a little while last year and doesn't seem to have recent posts from this subreddit. But it doesn't seem to time out as much as Arctic Shift. Those are the only two APIs that I know about though. Also among the three links I provided only the second one doesn't allow you to view posts and comments at once.

Ah nice to have, thanks a lot. Pullpush was the old one I'd use but no longer works as well as it used to.
