I feel like those posters aren’t really socialists either. There’s a point which just claiming a worldview isn’t enough to justify the accuracy of that label while holding all the opposing positions to its values.

I’d like to block all users and posts from hexchan, exploding heads, and lemmygrad. I don’t care if it sends the data as long as it blocks it from my UI.

What’s that written in? Python? I need to learn Python.

I honestly wouldn’t give those people the dignity of calling them leftists. They’re too concerned about cosplaying as activists and dunking on people to actually give a shit about advancing the rights of real people or trying to protect anything good.

Honestly, it’s begun to feel more hostile and shady. Pretty sure the Russian trolls are here, but hexchan ain’t helping either. I’m waiting for a client side instance block feature. We really need it.

I’ll believe it in a couple of years if he doesn’t turn up having faked his death again.

Massachusetts is literally the most significant state. It’s a forest with health care. We’re basically elves.

Honestly I can’t get Wiltshire out of my head. Rhotal rs? What? They sound like they’re from New England until they say something that makes my brain twist. I love it.

Why do so many Europeans seem to think the whole country is Texas?

It was!

I had some little grey box of an mp3 player in the late 90s that held like roughly one or two smallish albums. I remember one day finding a recording of my gym teacher trying to figure out how it worked for like five minutes after unknowingly pushing the record button.

Looks like a shitload of people accessing it several times a day, some watching it like hawks, and an entire genre of Reddit refugees who’ve taken to advertising it on a daily basis.

Apes together still giving Reddit traffic.

It’s like writing anti-walmart propaganda on a thousand one dollar bills and then spending them all at Walmart.

This is the equivalent of buying and burning oil in protest of climate change.

Yep. Lots of stuff. Livejournal, Myspace, AOL, Digg.

Protesting platforms that feed on engagement by engaging with those platforms is very silly. You won’t fix them.

If you think Reddit turned space back on thinking people wouldn’t use it to protest and to promote alternatives, I feel like you haven’t been paying attention. They feed on rage, it keeps their numbers up.

What they can’t feed on is letting them die because we don’t need or care about them anymore. Like Mab at the end of the 90s Merlin miniseries.

Stop making daily Reddit ads you shill!

Merry Christmas ya filthy animal!

I’d argue that coming to other platforms begging people to go to Reddit is more impactful than your own personal browsing even if you hadn’t changed your habits at all. It’s just ragebait and Reddit knows it. Stop playing into their hand.

Ew, some cop took a sharpie to their cat. :(

Honestly, I have hope that this is how the world gets better. All these companies who’ve been making a mess of everything on reputations they’ve long outlived have gotten too comfortable and too bold. A few Ubisofts and Twitters will be good practice for the bigger ones.

Maybe we’ll even figure out that money only tells us where we go if we let it.

YouTube is getting a lot worse too, though. It’s packed full of gimmicky content creators at this point who just make basically the same video over and over and over again. Sometimes their one point has some value worth considering, but even then much of the time they reduce themselves to a fake brand pandering to some small subsection of users.
