Reddit fumbing their own policies and implementations? Never happened before.

I just counted all my upvotes and it matches my rep now.

Verstappen: What happened mate?
Checo: I didnt see you coming. You got a very good run.
Verstappen: Oh. Ok. Not intentional?
Checo: No.

Checo: Turn 3 tho.
Verstappen: Oh, my mum is calling.

I’d say reduce the limit to 600 for verified accounts and unverified to 60 and new accounts to 30.
The world will be a better place.

Example. One of the better subreddits has a “few” rules.

The rules are too long for a post here… so you get a small image.

Just no. Upvote and downvote is all you need.

Nobody wants to listen.

When it happens it’s basically overnight. Like stretching a rubberband that you pull and pull and think it’s fine. Then you pull just a little bit too hard and it snaps. It will be impossible to put it together again.

We are no more than a few years, maybe a decade away from the hottest countries being completely unlivable. We are talking about 2+ Billion people that needs to move in a very short time. It’s coming and coming quickly. We’re not ready. Billions will die.

“The planet will be fine, it’s us humans that are fucked.” /Slightly paraphrased George Carlin.

Weird. RIF still works here.

Fediverse gives me hope there is still life left in and on the Internet.

RIF was always a very very good app. Probably the best app I have used on android.

Why would I want pushed content from Meta of all places? I don’t want to see that.
And no, we don’t need to grow the Fediverse that way. It’s better to stay independent and develop organically and become the next big thing, not eaten by some overstuffed corporation not able to innovate.

Learn from history. Don’t repeat it!

Shocking! A Chinese company lying, cheating and abusing users data. Impossible I say.
Oh wait. It’s wholly expected.

Years or days?

You’d be surprised how many jobs just requires you to sit in a chair all day looking busy.

I do my dayjob, in an office with the screen not visible to anyone else, and when there is no work to do I go ahead and do some of my independent work. I look busy as heck all 8 workhours. I get no extra reqests to “help out”, or last minute critical whatever.
I make 2.5-3x my job salary.

It would be comical if it wasn’t so sad.
The richest country on earth can’t even maintain its own infrastructure. This is the 5th(?) such failure in short time that has made international news.
That same country suffers from economic troubles.
Solve both by funding infrastructure projects.
What’s standing in their way?

You know, by now I’ve Reddit.

Don’t care about the reason why. Just get out.

Quality content creators are mostly gone from Reddit. Quality content submitters are mostly gone from Reddit. Quality content commenters are mostly gone from Reddit.
So what’s left?
Mods who think they have value and for some reason care about their /r , and working for free.
Ads thinly disguised as posts. Bots spamming and upvoting those fake posts.
And nobody important reading.

The quality difference on lemmy/kbin is staggering. This is the perfect time to be part of it.
It’s inevitable it will start to slide once critical mass of users have been reached though. I’m curious if federated and smaller instances will keep it agile and fresh and big corp influence free.

If you’re into 2D platformers.
Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom.

I see sunshine and blue skies ahead.
