The worst thing about the API changes wasn’t even that most people didn’t care or weren’t on board. It was that they were actively against the people protesting. In real life when this happens I always give some leeway because everyone has their own problems and they might be a bit annoyed by the protest action (which is part of the protest). But on Reddit?? People lost their fucking minds because they couldn’t have access to some subreddits for like 24h.

Sooooo many people failed to realize that even if you didn’t use third party apps that it would still affect you even if indirectly. They didn’t even have to do anything other than literally do nothing/something other that browsing reddit for a day. And they couldn’t. They vilified and downvoted the protesters and took the side of the billionaire trying to take advantage of everyone ruining Reddit in the process

That fiasco in pretty meaningless in todays world events, but fuck, I still find it a great insight into how much we can suck as a species

So it’s still left vs right

The problem is that in the US you don’t have a left party. Just a right one and a fascist one

Why should I feed this homeless person in front of me when there are millions of children dying in starvation in Africa. In fact by giving food to this homeless person who is probably homeless because of his fault, I am in fact wasting food that could otherwise be across the world at this same instant so I actually won’t do anything other than finishing my burger because I’m snackish. /s

Fuck that was hard to type but it’s not too far from how some people actually think

Defense mechanism

That way they feel less bad about doing nothing themselves

Haha fucking bullshit

Do you have examples?

I was reading that Wikipedia article earlier today and it said that when that terrorist was in prison he became a fan of Donald Trump and also publicly a nazi. So quite the trio there..

A slim majority is still a majority. It was basically half your country that chose this, or even more if you consider those that didn’t vote were ok with this as well.

“I also chose this guys dead wife”..

Like the inside jokes were really good on Reddit like the switcheroo one, or the guy that always had that whole comment that ended in the wrestling scene but most of them were just repeated to death

How do you even migrate history? Would people even want that

Reputation definitely not. Also who even cares about reputation

Subreddits you can migrate in some apps at least

On Voyager app you can “migrate subreddits” at least

Not sure what else would even be feasible
