In case no one got the memo the world is run by pedophiles and human traffickers. Top politicians, entertainment industry, corrupt judges, bankers, the elite. Our entire world is morally questionable. I'm just not going to get worked up over fake children in fake worlds, when there are real children being hurt who need my outrage more.

As a side note, do video games normalize violence? Because if we are going to use the argument that people looking at drawings normalizes and endorses harmful desires then we really need to have the discussion about video game violence.

I mean your not lying. On Mastodon I saw posts about people deleting accounts with thousands of karma, lot's of people with positive reputation in their communities left, and the people who remained either are not active posters or don't really care.

Damn ++ making this comment so I can save this comment. This is the boat I'm in.

Personally, my goal is to set aside the time to post or comment on the most interesting, informative, helpful tutorials that cannot be found here. To scrape reddit data via RSS and if it's interesting and not on lemmy or kbin see that it is mirrored here, so that it has the same plus more content. Getting lemmy and kbin results to show up in search results. If there is a way to improve the webui I would like to be part of it, if not the development part then at least the conversation. I'd donate $$s to make this place look and feel better than it does.

But posting on reddit...I had already stopped or reduced posting due to how often I was downvoted for not following the grain, or my replies not showing up or being deleted automatically. Some forums telling me I could not vote because my karma was too low but karma always getting deducted because I didn't think the same way as the majority subreddit. Here is the first time where I haven't been less afraid to speak...where I can be upvoted/downvoted and it doesn't even matter. Reddit is dead to me, and I will never cross-post interesting information to it except to say come join us in developing an alternative - and I can't even be bothered to do that.

I thought about this, I was 100% surprised that mods didn't plan for it as soon as Spez said he would do it.

I don't know how to save the posts that really resonate and reground me outside of commenting on it. This is one of those posts. Thank you.

I am very new to kbin, and have not figured out how to get that link to bring me back to kbin so that I can login and comment without making an account in lemmy.world. A lot of the points mentioned in that thread suggest taking a higher ground. Before I stepped into this thread I definitely was for razing them to the ground and rallying to create hell - but the mixture of positive vibes here as mellowed me out. In reddit, people who disagreed in mass would have been downvoted into oblivion and I would have only saw people who swung one way or another, but here I really get to see the perspective of multiple people. It's refreshing.

I was thinking about that. In theory if I can see it, what is stopping a bot from grabbing it. I notice when I use search engines they have no problem seeing what is inside reddit - so there has to be a way to create a bot that does this. I'm just not programmer savvy in that way to know how it works.

This is good to know, will it still work with the API changes?

I keep hearing this but all the VPS solutions I find cost an arm + leg. What VPS solutions cost $30/year?

What are the decentralized p2p storage options for hosting bots, would decentralized hosting and storage options be a viable solution?

Well considering it should be really difficult to mod in coming days, make accounts and spam the sub sending people over seems to be the best way to counter this move. Make it hurt knowing that subreddit took away the tools Mods need to moderate effectively.
