We are assuming they were alive when the plane lifted off.

Honestly I’m not as principled as some people but I noticed that I drastically reduced my presence there and it’s going down. I think a lot might have to do that RiF is missing (unrelated, but RIF’s author made a client for tildes.net called weirdly Three Cheers) and I refuse to install their spammy app.

You sure it wasn’t “let’s go to discord to get updates where we will move”? Discord won’t work well unless it’s a very small community.

Edit: I just joined and they created many smaller channels, I guess that helps them scale to larger number of users. So yeah I was wrong, but I still insist for majority of subreddits discord isn’t a matching platform and more like a compliment, when you want to talk live with somebody.

literally it is more like “whore son”, but yeah.

There’s also “spez is a whore son”, but I guess spez doesn’t read German.

There were plenty videos posted showing that reddit admins were using some tool that was just putting random patterns over it (they didn’t even bother to make it look real, so it appeared all at once)

People who are engaging with it as a form a protest are just dumb. Reddit has full control over it so they can remove anything they don’t like instantly.

You know admins can easily remove anything drawn there. They are trying to bring traffic back, because of the upcoming IPO.

I have less discipline than you, and still check periodically, specifically /r/news and /r/worldnews but I see that in doubt it less and less and it feels like lemmy/kbin communities is growing and posts are becoming more active.

I think though, that because it is decentralized, there should be a mechanism to group communities to prevent the fragmentation. So then subscribing to the group would subscribe to multiple communities.

Yes, if you wear BLM shirt you are telling everyone you care about racism and discrimination, if you wear Nazi shirt you telling everyone that you believe white race is superior to everyone else.

What’s so hard to get? Why I can’t assume your views when you are going out of your way making it obvious to everyone what your political stance is?

That’s a good point. I was assuming there was no tampering with it.

I was not talking about wearing a kind of clothing, but specific clothing showing your political and ideological of someone ways clothes with 1488 I will treat them like the Nazi he is.

Anyway OP said he was just wearing non MAGA red hat. So in that case I agree that was overreaction. In fact would prefer people did that so the association would disappear. I originally thought OP was taking about actual MAGA hat.

Ah, sorry then. That’s indeed overreaction. I thought it was an actual MAGA hat.

While this is true with Facebook, Twitter, YouTube I think reddit algorithm wasn’t designed that way.

The three sites I mentioned don’t have option to downvote (well, YouTube removed it recently) this is purposefully done so anything that is controversial will drive engagement. People like to show disapproval, since there’s no downvote in case of Facebook they will likely use the laughing emoticon or write a nasty comment, in case of Twitter or YouTube they will do the same. There is activity, those posts will be promoted and engaging even more people.

In reddit you could downvote a comment or even report it to moderators. The comment it will make it go to the end of the list and even collapse it. If moderator gets involved the comment will be even removed and a nasty user possibly banned.

This actually moderates the community. I noticed that on reddit the most hateful communities actually need moderators to tip the scales in the other direction.

This is why I’m not fully convinced that beehaw.org and tildes.net made a good choice blocking downvotes, as this requires more work from the moderators and prevents community to moderate itself. Though at least tildes.net has labels, which maybe do this function.

It’s this: https://youtu.be/tR_6dibpDfo and we are all being manipulated to not trust our institutions and to fight with each other.

just wearing the wrong colored hat or having the wrong skin color

the first thing is something what you can easily change and when wearing it, you’re telling everyone who you really are, the second thing is something you are born with. It is silly comparing those two.
