Go anti-woke, go broke, Apartheid Boy!

Yep. The only way to make progress on that front is to serve Putin some polonium tea…

Barista working a Karen convention.

Lemmy, and occasionally getting actual work done.

Having multi-communities, akin to multireddits, would be handy.

I still wonder if artificial sweeteners mess with metabolism, say by training people to ignore satiety signals, which would be why we saw that study a few days back saying artificial sweeteners are associated with weight gain.

Exactly. Thus the spelling & grammar errors, the obviously far-fetched story. They want the people who don’t raise red flags when they see that nonsense.

They’re filtering for stupid.

Lobbyists engineering bills in Congress to prohibit this and throw people in prison for it through additions to the DMCA in 3…2…1…

The stoners on Reddit got screwed - many of the weed subs got the banhammer, and the rest got NSFW’d because spez wants Reddit as G-rated as Disney for the IPO.

Safe spaces for fascism. Spez let The_Donald and its imitators fester for years, thus turning Reddit into a de facto Nazi Bar. Thus years of harassing non-fascists & minorities, brigading, spouting bigotry, disinformation and toxicity while the admins yawned.

I like it! Sure, some rough edges, and a bit of technical difficulties due to the influx of Reddit refugees like me, but this seems like a much friendlier, more real community.

Me too, been exploring a bit!

IIRC from reading about Bluesky, its strategy for dealing with spam, trolls, hate speech, etc., was to have various servers in the Federation tag posts, users & servers with a “Spam” tag or “Hate speech” tag, and server admins can set their servers to not display posts so tagged, and to not pass them on to other servers.

Old.reddit.com should continue to work for a while, maybe RES can be modified to tweak the site to be mobile-friendly.

But that would just be a holding action. Spez wants to kill old Reddit, so he can inflict more He Grifts Us ads on users. Enshittification continues…
