nah, it was a politically conscious choice to set up something like reddit, outside the control of capital and the state. the devs have written about it.
nah, they’re just good at posting. up your game.
lol the US security apparatus is bad but it’s not that bad. you might get put on a watchlist though.
it’s a reference to the Haitian revolution and France never forgiving their former colony for the audacity of a slave revolt. Haiti has been paying for that crime for 200 years. “liberte egalite fraternite” was always just .
youtubers/streamers have a parasocial thing going with their audience that makes the idea of donating a smaller mental step for their audience (senpai might notice me if I donate type brainworms). FOSS projects historically have really struggled with funding, unless they’re able to secure funding from an org/corporation.
a gift economy is also an exchange of goods but it’s decidedly not capitalism - no one earns any profit and there’s no flow converting money into capital and capital back into money.
redditisfun, it was a third party reddit app
look up the woman who runs their anti-evil team and where she worked last lol. so yeah, it is.
also !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net would appreciate this post.
ad hominem
“I refuse to stop being racist because it’s commies telling me to stop being racist”
because the people doing the “reclaiming” aren’t the targeted minority.
because this isn’t reddit anymore and racism isn’t the default position.
the refuge of every bigot: "the people I’m being bigoted towards want power and control over me. it’s pure projection.
because it’s racist. learn to take mild criticism and adjust behavior. it’s not hard and it’s a basic part of living with other people.
gay was reclaimed by gay people. do you see the difference?
please don’t do this with slurs. some of us have trauma.
no, we don’t have downvotes on hexbear and this is what they looked like when we did. it means bad post.
