It would be truly sad if investors preferred it that way because terrible and boring is better than unpredictable
spez is a business genius and you clearly wouldn’t understand that he’s thinking 8 steps ahead
/s
He's so many steps ahead he's already rushing for bankruptcy while others would still be thinking of ways to improve their site.
He only looks so behind because he’s just that far ahead.
I have been spending more time on Lemmy than Reddit. The only reason I haven’t fully broken away from Reddit yet is that old habits die hard. I’ve spent hours every day on Reddit for the past like 10 years.
But the atmosphere there has changed. The other day I made a post. A guy commented on the post, and said something completely wrong. When I pointed out that either he didn’t read the post, or he had a reading comprehension deficiency. That’s exactly how I put it. The mod said I had to keep discussions civil. When I told the mod there was nothing uncivil about pointing out someone’s obvious deficiency. He banned me from the sub.
In my almost 10 years. That’s the first time I’ve been banned from a sub.
I don’t usually talk shit to people. Really what I like to do is find people with problems, or questions. Then use my old people experience to tell them how I fucked it up. In the hopes that the person can not repeat my mistakes.
First it was r/spacedicks
Then it was r/watchpeopledie
Now it’s just being “uncivil” whatever that means.
Yep if you don't fall inline exactly with whatever's subs hivemind feels is the correct side to be on it's a ban. Happened to me on /r/energy. Just made a very simple and non provocative comment about how I thought nuclear power should be considered more, instant ban. Wound up getting kicked off reddit completely because of that, it pissed me off so much I switched to a multi account and commented again. Reddit was cool but it's time is up. Couldn't be happier to give it up, I have not been back on it in a month now and I miss nothing.
I remember checking out the anarchy sub and got banned after like 2 posts because I realized no one there was actually about anarchy.
Kind like when I watched the 2020 livestreams of "chaz" anarchy zone in Seattle(?) During the protests and saw people being extremely fascist towards anyone that was actually down for the cause. They literally had signs up at a "cafe" they set up but you could only use it if you were talking about x... Like there was literally a sign at the table and seats, lol.
Holy shit I forgot about /r/spacedicks entirely.
Yeah wow same here!
Ha, I used to like reddit. Then I just started acting like all the other assholes on there. I've been banned like 4 times. Only one of those times was actually reasonable. My home states subreddit was a mess and modded by some sovereign citizen that also plays american politics (😅🤡🥴). Apparently part of a group that helps people move to NH to throw a coup and start a sovereign state. Because they think the state motto is literal....
That place is a joke like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
That's saved reddit?
Narrator: it did not
Yes we did!
high fives
Reddit doesn't look different to me.
