  • I guess to some extent. I have a bunch of accounts across instances and sh.itjust.works is the only one that didn’t have excessive down time or other problems when I first came over so I kept using this account. I haven’t touched the other ones in a while.

    So I definitely appreciate them living up to their name. I wouldn’t leave without a good reason. But if it started being down all the time I would probably leave. I guess that’s pretty soft loyalty.



  • It sounds good in theory but look at how people behave just for the fake internet points. Every top comment in any reasonably large subreddit reads like a bot trying to input all the right words to make the hive mind reward them. It’s why subreddit simulator is so creepy.

    I guess you could say that’s pretty much how all communication works but at such a large scale, it starts to get very homogenized and the site starts feeling like one person interacting with themselves. There’s no room for actual discussion because anyone deviating from the hive mind gets buried and attacked. I’m not even talking about politics, go to a guitar subreddit and imply that wood makes a difference in guitar tone. You will get downvoted and all the responses will be over the top indignant which shuts down all discussion.

    If you can turn your pandering in to cash, this only gets worse.







  • I live in a small town next to a giant pile of gravel lol It’s probably not free. In my case, the owner of the property was planning on putting in a gravel driveway to a old house he was going to fix up but then never did. It’s been abandoned for years, no idea what’s going on now. But he owns the gravel and taking it would be theft. Although I could probably get away with it if I was in a desperate gravel situation.
