Should’ve become an engineer instead.

Without lube.

Have you not been paying attention to what’s been going on? The protests have done serious damage to Reddit’s reputation, the viability of its IPO, and is causing a significant drop in the number of users. Not to mention the loss of content creators and moderators who are necessary for the site to function. The protests are intentionally making the site unusable to bore and drive out those who are reasonable, and leaving only those who shill for and lick the boots of Spez and the rest of the incompetent administration team. And without content to consume, those people will leave as well.

Great job, Estonia! Glad to see more progress in the world!

Yeah, that’s literally the entire point. If the subs are unusable, site traffic falls, Huffman makes less money and looks worse to the investors, and people find better alternatives like here.

Always used RIF, the stock Reddit app has always been unusably terrible.

There’s definitely some hardcore shilling and astroturfing in a lot of subs where blackouts and John Oliver memes have become the norm. People with no posting history, brand new accounts and low karma accounts have flooded in to insult the mods and attack the protest.

I haven’t used Reddit for more than 5 minutes since the blackout. The site clearly has absolutely zero interest in changing their terrible decisions, and they’ve shown their hand to everyone. I’m fully moved onto the Fediverse, and I feel all the better for it. I’d been using RIF since 2019, and I refuse to use the stock Reddit app. The community here is wonderful.

It’s an inherently self-destructive, unsustainable ideology. None of them think that they’ll become a victim of their own ideology until the Gestapo knocks on their door.

Animated child porn. Absolutely fucking revolting that they allow that.

Basically playground bullies who never matured beyond that mentality.

“JAQing off”, as I’ve seen it be referred to. It’s always in bad faith.

Thanks, man. I really appreciate it

Then why are you replying to me…?

Not well, things have fallen off a cliff with my girlfriend and I feel dead inside. I hope everyone else’s day is going a lot better and I wish mine was too.

I never said anything about that person, your copy/paste comment is not relevant to what I said. I don’t hate the devs, I said the comments section of the post that was linked to is a dumpster fire of tankies and genocide apologists.

Apologies for not being clearer!

I’m referring to the comments section on the post he linked to, where half the comments are tankies trying to defend the actions of the admins who were banning users and calling them racist for criticizing the CCP/Kremlin.

Hell, it was already considered outdated and clunky in 2008.
