Its crazier going back to reddit and asking if each post is really just an advertising for someone's product. Its surprising how often a post is a commercial vs real content.

I saw one yesterday for a water bouncing scooter thing where a guy rides across a river and delivers a beer. Water scooter gets placed perfectly to showcase the name. Multiple comment chains of "cool this looks fun what is it how does it work" along with explanations and hype threads like its a ginsu knife at a Florida flea market.

Reddit is a commercial that we can comment on

obsessed with conspiracies and psyops, has a massive digital footprint from being terminally online

don't worry! lemmy has the c/privacy community as well

This doesn't ring true at all for me. I still like a lot of the people who are on Reddit and it has helpful, interesting content. Much better niche stuff than Lemmy. I just disagree with the way it's heading administratively and I think it will ultimately mean the community and content aren't valuable enough to keep visiting. It's why I'm on lemmy now, not necessarily because all the content here is better yet.

Something something glass houses and stones and all. Self awareness goes pretty far as a skill.

Should have given the clown a red hat

At least when I first started using the site, it was staunchly atheistic. I mean, you were subbed to r/Atheism automatically.

That's called yaoi if you may

You can kick the rat out of Reddit, but you can never kick Reddit out of the rat.

I had been on reddit for well over a decade. Joined because I miss message boards that died when Facebook became a thing. I spent almost 15 years on different message boards for different interests and just wanted that feeling of community back.

And it was fine, until americans decided to go full blown nazi. Now there is nothing but americans shitting on every minority they can get away with and reddit mods do fuck all about it.

Not everyone online is american and the rest of us are fucking done with their bullshit. The internet is a global community not a recruiting platform for nazis.
