Truck to avoiding that is to never get gold. Took me 10 years to never get gold once. I’m good at what I don’t do.

I can’t afford a fancy lift. Sure as hell wouldn’t be going around parking it places though.

Even if you don’t have shareholders yet, gotta brown nose before hand to impress them.

He spammed me with the same comment this morning. He got the same response as here.

I wonder what the actual engagement is for those FB users, I only have a few friends post on there. Majority use it for marketplace and messenger, only one of those get ads. I’m sure many signed up and don’t use it in third world countries where internet isn’t consistent. I’ve never seen a breakdown of meta users and I’m sure there’s a good reason for them not wanting to share that.

That’s a good way of putting it. It’s really refreshing for people to act polite and give benefit of the doubt. I know that the honeymoon period won’t last forever. But when the dust settles I hope it stays a happier place than Reddit.

I quit when rif went down. I’ve never used an official app, desktop site, mobile site etc. Rif was Reddit to me for 10 years. Maybe leaving as a collective will make some difference, maybe not, but I’m going to start being more firm on how much I’ll let companies try to push me around expecting me to just take it. They built it on our backs, then just took it away so a literal select few can cash in, when they are already filthy rich and had other options.

I’ve been explaining it to others as if you broke your phone. Now it’s frustrating getting used to a new phone, but it has lots of new features you never even thought of that make up for the inconveniences. Sure I could go back to my old phone, it’s comfortable to use, but the screen is broken and it cuts me now and again, and over time it’ll cut me more often. I’d rather get used to the new phone.

This past year I’ve dealt with food going up, gas, utilities, rent, hell cigarettes and even beer, my fishing license went up. Every single nook and cranny they can pull a cent from you they will.
I’m done choosing to let them. If they want my data, my attention, my content, they can pull it from my cold dead hands damnit.

Ok weird ass Braveheart speech over and out.

I don’t expect anything positive to come out of Reddit after the direction they chose to go. Spez has proven who he is and what’s important to him and that won’t change. I was just curious as to what effect no 3rd party apps was having on the user experience, since they kept saying it’s only 10% and that they didn’t care and wouldn’t be noticed.

Thanks, you said it better than I could.

That’s kinda what I figured, didn’t expect it to be a ghost town, so that makes sense.
I could tell by the loud users declaring that Reddit is gonna be better and everyone else were just whiners that content would slow down quite a bit. Didn’t get a vibe of those types putting out engaging content haha.

You better tell the mods to delete a good portion of the posts and this entire magazine then… I think it’s perfectly normal question to ask and be curious about, if you don’t want to hear about Reddit maybe don’t sub to this magazine and contribute to the conversation about it?

I noticed this too when I first logged on, gave me a laugh.

Reddit was something unique and personal to each user. Some it was new, some it was the only place to find specific tech or other advice that wasn’t corrupted by ads and algorithms on goggle and other big corporations.
Reddit was my way of disengaging from world news before I knew about anxiety, and how things could affect me and become personal even though I had no way to help world events. So I used it to personalize my mental diet, if I was creative I could sub to many craft subs like leather or metal etc, it’s where I went to get other perspectives on movies and content that I didn’t fully understand.
End of the day, is all that possible still on Reddit, kinda, but it’s going away, and they pushed me personally to leave as I could see it was becoming google/Facebook, ad algorithms to push what people pay for or get paid for. So time to reset.
Become involved, I’m way more involved and adding to discussions on the new sites I’m on. Everyone adding comments and posts and perspectives and opinions are building this up from bottom up.
You are the future, make your perspective part of the future by helping guide these new sites to something we can be proud of.

I’m on tildes, it’s really refreshing and easy to use.
Main difference is that it seems to cater more of a serious adult conversations, which after years of being able to predict most comments before looking in Reddit, is very refreshing.
Lots less memes, communities are pre set and can’t be created, seems to be to make sure to populate them before creating sub categories that people may see as in active and avoid.
Overall it feels like fedworld is best overall experience, squabbles is memes and lighthearted and tildes is more deep and thought out style of interaction.

Ok, thanks for the info.

Sheesh does James Cameron got a fetish for posthumous visual effect Oscars? Feels like it at this rate.

I really appreciated how he incorporated examples in real time about what he was talking about, which in it self was super meta as he’s explaining meta haha. I’m a big film buff, but wasn’t familiar with modernism and postmodernism, refreshing to have a whole new perspective on films.

I watched this last night, crazy to see it here! I’d never heard of the channel before, but it was a good watch. I’ve never deep dived into film in that way before but it was super interesting.

Sigh and it begins…

Ugh people just commenting “this” to every top comment and getting upvoted like crazy drove me batty. It doesn’t add to the conversation and anytime I mentioned it on Reddit I’d get 100 people just replying “this” underneath… Hoping that one track mentality can be different here. It’s one thing to have it happen once, but for it to be every single time someone brings it up is kinda a drag. Like ya hur dur we get it, but it gets old fast.
