Some people in this thread make me wonder how centrists and status quo defenders manage to find their way into a leftist meme forum 😂

Wrong on all accounts. It is the hierarchical system and the state that exacerbate bigotry.

My “favorite” lecture from young people is the one in which they berate me for “stealing content” by not watching ads on YouTube.

I have a vivid memory of YouTube being a platform where normal people could share videos of their kids and pets or other fun random low quality but entertaining things

Horses are also privacy friendly, unlike your smart car

I’m unhappy that Kagi uses geo-location data to provide certain types of results

My immersion is shattered

he only managed to expel several hundred thousand people per year, which is similar to the number of deportations during other recent administrations

Sadly, the Democrats have proven themselves to be just as fascistic when it comes to immigration. I got talked into voting Biden, but I’d be lying if I said that I don’t question that decision every day.

One of the first things Biden did was to build more concentration camps, and one of the first things his supporters did was make excuses for that.

Edit: Oh yikes, the fascism defenders and concentration camp explainers have appeared in droves in my inbox 😬

Any service that is subscription based is dead to me. I’ve reached my breaking point.

I’m sure it’s much harder to manage a Premium subscription than it is to simply install uBO

“We’re trying to create a safe and loving home.”

“Wow, so what you’re saying is you won’t love me if I come in and release millions of angry wasps in your home? Have fun in your echo chamber, I guess.”

This blackout has really shown which subs have actual in-touch moderators, and which ones are just the admins’ puppy dogs

A while ago, I had a comment auto-removed on WPT and got a message it was because my account was “not in good standing.” When I messaged the WPT mods, they explained that they were test piloting a new tool the admins plan to use. For example, if you have a throwaway email address, no email address, or are connecting via VPN, you may be “not in good standing.”

With things like that on the horizon, even if they roll back on what they’re doing now, we’re still not likely to have a very good time on that site.

I can’t blame the mods who are trying to make change through protest (and who may not even be aware of the “not in good standing” BS), but I don’t plan to stick around, and I don’t foresee a very bright future for reddit at all.
