You guys think there's an element of everyone wanting to be in the picture? As in it only takes one cop to walk him from A to B, but he's famous and this is a huge important case so they all come with just because you want to be close to important things

He was a piece of nshit in his 30's too.

The idea that nature is precious and must be preserved is human-centric.

Trees caused an extinction event when they appeared by absorbing all the carbon dioxyde and radically changing the atmosphere. But we feel bad when we're the ones doing it

Comments saying "you don't" are weak shit. The answer is you rotate each letter one by one.

It will look like shit because they will be ever so slightly misaligned, but such is the fate of the brave

We do bulk and they're also werewolves, so it's a werewhore warehouse

There were some in Pompeii but they haven't been located yet, to this day archeologists don't know where the werewhore warehouses were

Sleeping for 10 hours in a closet would do enough damage to my body that i'd quit my job and get a disability pension

After eight years, i resigned as a moderator of my community (self.reddit)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by thawed_caveman to c/reddit
134 comments fedilink
 

I've been the main moderator of the same community since 2016. This evening, i approved my last comment.

I'm leaving for two reasons:

  1. Reddit went public a week ago. I didn’t volunteer to work for a publicly traded company, i volunteered to work for a community. As long as i live under capitalism i accept that my labor will generate value for shareholders, but damned if i ever do it for free. (this is not a Faulkner quote)

  2. April 1st is coming and i'm scared they might do another r/place. Doing in r/place 2022 and 2023 has left me dejected and bitter and i don't want to feel obligated to participate again.

Leaving felt like ripping myself off of something warm i've been comfortably glued to for a long time. Still recommend it for anyone still giving Reddit shareholders free labor

EDIT: there are too many comments to respond to, but i've appreciated all of them! Thank you

Was the description here written by ChatGPT? (lemmy.world)
 

It kinda reads like that. Curious if there's business to be made in using AI to generate industrial amounts of low-quality spam, and if AI has any other use cases.

How well-archived is Reddit? (self.nostupidquestions)
 

Whenever a forum dies, a lot of answered questions are lost that would have been useful to people googling it in the future.

Reddit is like the mother of all forums, and it also has had a lot of internet history being made on it.

I really think we need a Reddit archive that is availabel for random people from Google. The best case scenario is that Reddit just limps on for years, therefore doing this conservation work better than anyone else could.

I'm trying Soulseek and people download the most obscure stuff (self.soulseek_slsk)
 

Almost always my movies even though i have tons of music, and always the most obscure shit. I have Disney movies and Breaking Bad, but people go for the auteur french sci-fi animated features.

Soulseek gives me much the same joy of sharing as torrent does, perhaps more so because it's one-on-one with a username instead of an IP.

It's very easy to contribute to Soulseek as opposed to torrent, you just mark your shared folders. I think there's probably more content as a result, at the cost of the inefficiency of multiple people offering the same thing. Which i'm not sure matters.

I don't know if the rooms are really worth it. You only get the messages starting when you logged in, so you can't catch up to what happened before; this problem is particularly relevant because most rooms are dead; those that aren't dead consist of a lot of vicious arguments; and it's live chat anyway, never my favorite format for discussion.

I prefer Soulseek to eMule just because it works, but i also found it simpler.

Unfortunately my VPN doesn't play well with Soulseek, apparently it doesn't support port forwarding? I'm not sure how to fix this. It may in fact have been a problem when torrenting too the whole time and i didn't notice.

Overall i really enjoy Soulseek and will probably always have it in the background, it's pretty great!
