If Reddit gets seized and shutdown due to solication under FOSTA-SESTA I will laugh
I won’t. That’s a terrible law and its use should never be celebrated, even against someone we don’t like.
Whoever wrote this article must’ve just got on Reddit.
Seriously, this is hardly a new trend for Reddit. There’ve been tons of hookup subreddits for years now.
Sounds like a disappointment speedrun to me.
thanks, I hate it
Ooh, I don’t know. Makes me want to get back in there. Apparently I was following the wrong subreddits all this time
Years ago, I had some success with these subreddits. In recent years, not so much. IF you could meet the various requirements to post, you would be flooded with some combination of OnlyFans accounts, literal scam attempts, and/or occasional actual prostitutes. But mostly the first two. More than one girl I reached out to had a long list of rules for guys who wanted to message her. Just a whole bunch of bullshit. And the “local” subreddits are 99.99999% spam accounts.
Those subreddits are trash. If you’re from US, everything can be either easy or difficult. But if you’re from another country, don’t bother. US-centrism is a real pain.
Any device or software that allows people to communicate is going to be used for hook-ups. It’s etched into the machine code at the heart of the internet.
it’s weird tho, how do you find people in your area on a site used all across the world
You click on the banner that advertises local singles in your area ready to hook up now.
a/s/l?
21/M/Belgium what about you

Could I have the coordinates of your anti tank setups?
my front door is pretty effective against tankies
Just make sure your house doesn’t have an Ardennes to go through on the other side!
Man spez getting really desperate
Hey maybe let’s not vilify the nsfw subs that are doing nothing wrong. The anti adult content trend recently is really disturbing and is pushing the culture war in the states trying to outright ban porn.
If you want to control people go after their biological needs.
- Food
- Sleep
- Sex
Yeah all that shit is getting pretty wild. A bunch of stuffy prudes are freaking out about changing social/cultural norms.
I also think this latest war on porn is a low key cover to undermine online security/privacy/encryption.
It’s about control really. The powers that be are afraid people are thinking about how things could be better and they don’t want that.
In the same way that IRC was in the 90s.
Did anyone actually hook up via IRC?
I definitely did. Multiple times.
Lost my virginity thanks to IRC.
Some IRC channels had IRL meetups, people would regularly hook up on those.
Those hookups are full of scams and cops.
Ask me how I know.
How do you know that?
They’re a cop that scams people.
My wife and I met on r4r, but the post was looking for friendship, and that eventually led to us dating two years later.
To be fair, reddit for me was always about getting to know like-minded people. And I met my wife through the 40+redditor seeks redditor group so if that’s what it is I’m fine with it. Not in the least as I left that toxic waste dump with the exodus and have not missed 95% of it. (Yes, I miss /r/AskHistorians but I am strong, if I allow myself one subredit it will suck me back in so clean break is for the best).
And I bet most of it is fake/bots or shilling for an Onlyfans account.
Reddit, a place where a guy can jack off with 100s of other guys pretending to be girls
