Yeah, if something came to kill reddit I would be happy, but this it now. There will be no alternative. Sites are getting broken into tribal shitholes, and I dont see that getting better.
I've seen that in a couple of articles this past week. I think somebody was making a joke and it just got passed around as true afterwards. It was used in that positive-spun Bloomberg article on Monday or Tuesday
“Actors that prevent other Redditors from enjoying their experience”.
Some non-defective people have talked to me (it’s true!) about reddit a few times, and it definitely wasn’t the heckin’ slur users that made them delete their accounts.
r shittyfantheories actually has some quality fun posts. The "shitty" and circlejerk subs are always better than the ones they parody. Ultimately, only one of the pair is self-aware.
Does anyone else feel like we are entering a societal shift into a more victorian-esque society where people are always polite and correct to ridiculous extremes? Hopefully it will swing back round back to the glorious degeneracy of the 90’s and 2000s.
Honestly why didn't they just ban this place instead wasting their time putting a bunch of dumb restrictions? Not like there's enough of us to justify a containment sub.
Huffman, Alexis Ohanian (now married to tennis star Serena Williams) and Aaron Swartz, who passed away at 26 in 2013, started Reddit in 2005 with backing from Y! Combinator founder Paul Graham. The original intent of the company was to function as the front page of the Internet.
Somebody's been sleeping through their online coding courses.
You may think you're hot stuff, the Fred Astaire of this topic — but if you're Fred Astaire, I'm Ginger Rogers: Anything you can do, I can do — backwards, without looking, and in high heels.
You're a computer systems engineer? Wow! Have you publicly called out the CEO of Intel for the untrustability of their encryption blackbox silicon? Have you explained at an ELI5 level the feasibility and utility of peer-to-peer communications network routing? How about explaining fast fourier transforms to a college kid? These are just the things in computer science I've been gilded for. That doesn't count the parts where I picked up the comment of an actual climate scientist that demolishes every single claim made in your oldest gilded comment. Or the two years worth of reddit gold other people gifted me just for being the flagbearer of that comment. That doesn't cover where I kneecapped a transphobe's Loaded Question in an AMA in /r/science. Oh, and then there was the one where I explained morphological diversity and the evolutionary basis of intelligence in Aves and Mammalia.
And those are just the gilded comments.
That doesn't cover the comments where I haven't been gilded, like when I shredded the methodology of a trash poll conducted to produce misleading public support figures on the question of whether trans people ahould be allowed to use a restroom.
The thing is, that once someone has been a scientist, they never stop being a scientist. They never stop thinking rationally and critically. They tear apart obvious bullshit with ease after years of doing peer review with actual scientists, after working with their advisors and departments to produce a worthwhile and defensible doctoral thesis, even.
Your most recent gilded comment is a regurgitation of a Stormfront / White Supremacist blogosphere talking-points memo, which in turn was based on a bullshit misread of a statistical publication, by conflating causation with correlation.
And no, my capslock key isn't stuck; I prised it off my keyboard two decades ago so that I would have to be cognisant of holding Shift with my pinky while typing, so that I wouldn't accidentally hose up Windows 2000 source code. Every capitalised letter I write is intentional.
This has to be my favorite one. Lardbinn acting like getting fake awards on his fucking Reddit comments actually means something to normal people in the real world will never get old.

Reddit was just a singular tech forum when it started.

The “Big chungus says t-slur rights” memes are ruining the experience for me.
Do something about it Huffman.
25 -Kite-Man- 2021-01-30
why did it have to be fucking baby talk. the language of the future could have been anything.
we could have just all started talking with outrageous accents or something, it'd be so much better. anything would have been better.
i think imma start wavering between folksy southern and cockney

OH yeah, they've been thinking really hard about balance lately 🙄

Should be balancing each sub ban by banning the opposite sub. Down it in pairs, conservative and politics. Ahs ahc. Etc

What do you mean? People laughed at r-slurs back then, today’s humor is literally in a worse place.

Because this place never really did anything wrong and just used the site features and said bad words.
