uBlock, Revanced, and yt-dlp still 100% free lol

Content creators need to consider looking into alternative platforms though. Seems like YouTube is hellbent on self destruction.

Worst part was, it was all really civil I thought. Like, "Hey, this sounds like X but it might be Y"

Turns out the dude was a piece of shit, but still... While I consider myself pretty left leaning, I also like to make sure I've got my fingers pointing in the right direction. Call the piece of shit out for cases where they are without a doubt being a piece of shit. Not for areas where there some room for personal interpretation.

But according to some mods, we should just blast people over anything regardless of verifiability. And trying to further explain the dangers of enforcing nonsense like they're doing is apparently considered harassment.

Their approach:

Me: Appalling the ban, stating the nuance of the post.

Mods: "No, don't contact us again."

Me: Huh? But this, though...
Mods: "No, contact us again and we'll report you for harassment"

Me: I'm all for pointing fingers, but this is dangerous...
"We're muting you now, and also reporting you for harassment"

Reddit admins: "How dare you harass the mods with civil conversation! 7 day ban!"

Me: Appealing Reddit ban, stating the only harassment thus far has been from the mods. Show me where I was harassing.
Human admin: Nope, harassment. Ban staying.

Meanwhile, conspiracy, conservative, and canada subreddits continue to exist no prob...

Reddit can't die soon enough. It's clear that the site is compromised big time.

It's cool you can call stuff out on here. I tried that on Reddit and got banned. Then called out the mods and got banned from the site for harassment 🤷‍♂️

Reddit can't die off fast enough. It's clearly past its prime

Oh no... So anyways lol

What do you expect from a conservative government? This cuts into oil consumption and green alternatives. Can't have that!

They should try lowering prices and paying their workers better. I suspect that would drive down violence far more than cameras.

But this probably has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with employee surveillance with a pinch of voyeurism.

I would rather see improved tax brackets to get money back into the economy by forcing the rich to either pay more in taxes, or steal less from the employees thus paying them a fair share (which in turn will actually be spent and fed back into the economy)

It's funny how the party of "taxes bad" somehow also like a balanced budget.

How the fuck are you gonna balance it when you choke out cash flows and things cost more annually? 🤔

They nailed the retro-futurism aesthetic with that window UI

Shucks... Maybe if the college didn't rob the students blind on tuition, and the publishers not rob the students blind on books, maybe they could afford to pay for software licenses. 🤷‍♂️

No, American iPhone users use iMessage and think they're superior. American Android users don't give a fuck and think it's hilarious that iOS users think they're superior because they used dumbed down devices that nag for money everywhere.

You should consider staying in your own lane...

A small handful of iOS users might complain about iOS, but a majority of us don't give a shit and can't understand why anybody would brag about having an inferior OS.

And sure people make accounts all the time, but if doesn't mean they enjoy doing it. I doubt most people enjoy having to flip between messenger, signal, telegram, and WhatsApp - and RCS fixes most of that since everybody has access to it, and SMS is still a main go-to for messaging in north America anyway.

Any more stupid takes to share with us?

 

As a 10+ year Reddit user, I recently made the jump here to Lemmy and was hoping to re-join some of the old groups. Is there a running list somewhere of all the groups on here that started as subreddits?

What's the right term for them, anyway? Group? Sublemmy? Community?
