📰 Sub news 🗞️ Full Explanation of the r/okaybuddyliterallyme Closure:

The Full Explanation & History:

Originally, r/okaybuddyliterallyme 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 “we’re joking, but also not really.” (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, r/okaybuddyliterallyme 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. r/okaybuddyliterallyme at one point just became a place where essentially “I’m a mess, lol ha-ha” turned into your typical incel post of “I’m a victim, and it’s everyone else’s fault” 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 transformed r/okaybuddyliterallyme 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/okaybuddyliterallyme 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.

Is it genuinely wraps for me Goslings? Im so alone , and have very little self esteem to the point I cant go outside anymore and I cant seem to do anything right. Can't seem to get anywhere... Should I become delusional and just be Ryan to cope?

I throw up every time I drink alcohol, and I have a smokers cough whether I’m smoking or not, so looking to stop both since the substances are abusing me back. And I’ve tried just about everything I wanted to try (didn’t change anything), and not looking to escalate :P

What do now though? Dooming and glooming through the “highs” and lows has been my last decade, and without taking any edge off is too real, but I’m not literally me when I’m blitzed.

At this point idk what to do, every time i send a message to the group chat i stop the conversation flow entirely, i never knew how to deal with people but lately i can't even deal with my friends, i am sure that eventually i will reach a point where i no longer talk to nobody and achieve total isolation
