TEMPORARY COMATOSE STATE WITH POSSIBLE STRONG HALLUCINATIONS AND SUBSEQUENT AMNESIA

Another vote for blocking but not de-federating. De-federating is a nuclear option with a lot of collateral damage, and it's pretty easy nowadays to just start screaming "pedophile" if your goal is to cause collateral damage. I'm worried that if instances start defederating in a knee-jerk reaction, it will be weaponized.

Just block it.

It kinda worked for a very long time. Like a good 8-10 years. Sure, there was a slow decline but reddit was still pretty good up until new reddit was introduced.

I remember being embarrassed to discuss reddit irl in a way that I wasn't embarrassed to discuss Facebook, for example. Reddit was the dirty little secret.

I think what your_mind_aches is saying is that the mindset has changed. People who didn't know the internet before social media are more emotionally attached to having one single identity online. Even if in the case of reddit it's not necessarily linked to your real world identity.

I've noticed that if I exclude the exclamation marks, it usually shows up in the search. Usually. But even then it's still only showing me stuff from 5 hours ago.
