Interesting, I’ll take a look at that, thanks!

I have no skills as a moderator, sadly, I avoid responsibility as a lifestyle. Thanks for the warm welcome tho. :)

Glad to hear it, I look forward to poking around.

Seems like an opportunity to lose users. The whole instance thing is already kinda confusing for new people (source: just joined yesterday), but making every instance only connect to a select few instances would mean having to make an account on multiple different instances if you wanted to see a disparate selection of content. As much as I enjoy debating politics and religion I wouldn’t join a server that only showed those communities because I also like videos of huskies being sassy, battletech memes, etc.

What’s hilarious is that my perma-ban got lifted on appeal, I can post and shit now, but the message they sent me said it was denied and would stay in place. They are so goddamnned confused over there.

Holy shit, that thing is a monster. They make cape buffalo look dainty and soft. :P

Thanks, glad to be here!

Yeah it’s been getting increasingly fashy over there. They’ve blocked topics before, but to my knowledge they’ve never banned people for upvoting something. It’s crazy. Next they’re going to start banning any anti-Israel content as antisemitic, or anything pro-Palestine as promoting terrorism or whatever. It’s gotten MUCH worse since the IPO, too, so it’s clearly being done for the benefit of the advertisers.

That’s not how brains work, they need time to unwind, so you would’ve just found some other method to do that.

Hi!

If I come across something I can’t find here I will certainly do that.

But even if he was, I still don’t think he should go to jail for it.

Probably, but 14 years is a whole lot of inertia to overcome.

Thanks! Honestly it’s been less of an adjustment than I expected. Took a couple hours to read about it and figure out how it works, picked a server, and jumped right in. The big thing is that I’m losing that whole curated sub list that I’m going to have to replicate, but I’m sure it’ll take care of itself.

I definitely don’t want to provide reddit with any more value, but many of my posts and comments were informative or had a good way to explain something or the like, and I still get random replies and mail years later on some of them. This (in general, not on reddit in specific) i feel is my contribution to society, so shitting on that just to very slightly inconvenience reddit feels counterproductive. I don’t receive any direct benefit from it (and upon leaving reddit I won’t even get the indirect benefit of people telling me how helpful I was), but I am content to know that maybe I’ve helped a few people.
