I like to try new stuff when I can, I’m not super picky. Usually drink bourbons if I’m feeling fancy. Had Knob Creek rye on the rocks recently and was pleasantly surprised!

Call me corny but a little floppy disk or a globe or something could be cool

They still aren’t winning a chip with Ayton. They need depth too

Low effort posts and low effort comments in every thread. It was to the point where Reddit felt like call and response to me.

Also, there was no way to contribute to the posts on the front page because they were overloaded with comments. There was always an arms race on who got the top comment on a post that had the potential to get a lot of traction— which means the quippiest comments were always the first.

It’s intellectual junk food.

Toasting in an epic bread

Yeah it’s not like Reddit is a governmental body here lmao. What’s the repercussion if they fake a vote? Downvotes?

Pretty obvious that these tools only apply to dissenting subs… after this all blows over, there won’t be a single reddit employee even looking at this system

It’s really eye opening reading thinly veiled threats in Reddit’s wholesome chungus corporate-speak these past couple days. What a garbage company

Just wondering how long it takes til Reddit strips mods and forcibly reopens certain protesting subs

Furries, Avians and Scalies :3 people used to use these terms more back in the day!

Nice work! furry needs more 3d artists.

Comcast is a truly rotten company. Like without fail they continue to impress me on their new clever ways of misleading customers. Like remember “10G” from earlier this year…?

Yep! Reddit won’t die. It is becoming (and in some ways has been for some time) one of a very limited number of sites that the majority of the interconnected globe uses to exchange information, like Facebook. Even if it loses .5% of its current userbase to some alternative, it’s barely a drop in the bucket to Reddit, but that number is HUGE if it’s mostly dorks like us setting up a new home here in the Fediverse.

It’s a win-win; we want quality discussion here. Your average modern Reddit user wants the information drip. (And I should say, it’s entirely possible to be someone who uses both during this transition phase)

I really don’t see the protests as a failure. You give Reddit, inc. an opportunity to compromise with the community and they show that they won’t budge an inch (or, more accurately, they CAN’T due to VC pressure)

We learned what Reddit has become, and now we work towards building a future proofed community somewhere else. As long as the Fediverse has activity I will be prioritizing my time here. These little things have big ramifcations for years in the future, where we will see more enshittification and more draconian privacy laws in various countries and states.

I see what’s happening here as a success.

No worries, Reddit – I’m fine with where I’m at atm too :)

Who’s more insecure: you, or your antiquated god with all your weird-ass rules you worship?

No human eyes will look at your data—until you become too politically active of course!

I don’t care if things here are slow. I’m gonna enjoy my little vacation from Reddit and hopefully never have to go back
