Reddit no longer deserves r/place
Update: Created a new account (there are two subs I still want to follow... obviously any others are a lost cause) and the account is half-broken. It can apparently comment, but the profile and my avatar won't load.
I'll leave it for a few days and see if it improves, but I'm not hopeful. I don't think I'll bother trying to use Reddit for general purposes unless they get a better CEO. By that time, my guess is that Lemmy and the new Digg will have vacuumed away enough sane users that Reddit will never recover.
Extremely distorted titties and Muzak channel
I'm not complicit. You're complicit
They never needed to redirect to do that in the first place. It's probably just done for convenience. Websites quietly tracking outgoing links has been technically possible since the '90s.
The Jews aren't the Boogeyman of the current palingenetic fantasy, so they'll be largely left alone (unless they protest Israel.)
I saw a picture of his sister. She has that same well-practiced smirk
Once I got past the "college student w/ first mustache" phase it lost its appeal.
There is no central control, which means there's no CEO to influence into doing ghastly shit to the users. It's basically one step up from the non-federated Internet forums of old.
That doesn't seem like a very strong password 🤔
Reddit has turned into a real fuck of a fuck over the last few weeks. It was a bad omen when they started charging for API access, but that was just a preview. They're in full-on enshittification mode now.
You get shadowbanned for unspecified reasons, without apparently breaking any rules. They do cute shit with vague error messages rather than tell you what's up. Zero actual communication.
They're also busting people for upvoting super mario kart jpegs for some reason, but when they do that they actually tell you.
I don't remember but I have a vague impression that she sucks
This is the exact arc of enshittification that Cory Doctorow described. Reddit used to be great up to a few years ago, but it's clear that the board is in full-on vampire mode, and they're going to bleed it dry until it's time to parachute.

I posted stuff about politics and my account suddenly couldn't comment. Weird error messages, no actual communication from Reddit about what or why or how long. Decisions about functionality are being made in meetings by people who are absolutely not interested in the users as anything but things whose only value is whether they can be monetized.
At least they told you you're blocked, instead of just making random parts of it not work with zero communication
You hate to see it!
This is pretty alright!
I love to speak
