Or the fediverse in general.

I wanted to ask everyone their personal least favorite communities on reddit.

Whic subreddits do you absolutely not (personally of course) want to see recreated as magazines here on kbin, or as fediverse communities in general?

My pet peeve is CMV. I always felt while the idea seemed doable on the surface, the implementation within that particular subreddit with the delta system, the requirement for the top level comments to oppose the OP even if the “view” is an established expert consensus on something like climate change made it impossible to have meaningful conversations.

I haven’t checked if we have a CMV magazine here, but as soon as I see one, I know I’m blocking it.

What is your “instant block” community?

    Shit, never thought about how the skin test could affect a mixed person. 🤔 Thanks for the comment.
    I assumed the Ally tests were more thorough and harder to trick, but never looked into it.

    Yeah~ I don’t doubt anything you’re saying. I’m visibly a brotha and “dark-skinned” (actually medium brown back home, but whatevs), so I was spared that shit. Definitely got some other shit, but 'eh. 😅

    I will never be black enough or white enough or Latino enough.

    Reminding me of (iirc) a Hispanic-American dude who explained a similar situation due to skin tone. As I recall it, he was “too light for the Black kids and too dark for the White kids,” so he had nowhere to go growing up. Nobody wanted him at their table. 😐
    Also, dat’s fucked. Since we can’t spoiler tag text, I’mma just speak my unsolicited opinion on it: You’re racially all three and culturally which ever ones you identify with. How society treats you is a different matter.

    You’d probably benefit from F.D Signifier’s “I need a break so here’s me reacting to Tik Toks” (timestamped) video and its many~ comments. Nebula version.
    Also, here’s his Black Men and Colorism on Screen video. Nebula version. Haven’t watched it yet myself, but chances are it’ll be… relevant atleast.

      Thank you for being so understanding, I definitely relate the the guy you are talking about. It’s embarrassing to admit for me, I was much darker as a kid (if you saw me at this time you would believe I’m a POC) because I went in the sun a lot and didn’t cover up or use sunscreen but I lost what was a tan the whole time when I started avoiding going outside altogether. I will check out the links you sent :)

        So~ having recently seen The Blackening (2023), I’m just gonna say that that movie will probably bring up bad memories, make you uncomfortable, and valid you at the same time. Happy Juneteenth.
