It’s okay to still use these sites, I’ll admit that right now, I have a reddit account again. But that’s out of spite for the simple fact that I refuse to have my voice be silenced. I may have been banned multiple times on subreddits and reddit itself for petty dumb opinionated reasons (no I’m not a racist, sexist, bigot…). But, I kept coming back because again, I refused to be silenced and let them have the ‘victory’ of snuffing a voice out.
It’s another thing though, to have a Reddit account and going around to people wanting to be done with Reddit, by trying to convince and lure them into coming back on here. People have made up their mind about Reddit and everything that has happened within the past two weeks, cemented those choices. Quite frankly, if you ask me, getting blown up over the porn/NSFW situation is a little silly in comparison to the third party issue.
People have an assortment of reasons to still use these platforms, it’s fine, except the ones who’re Pro-Spez, Pro-Musk .etc Then I say - you have problems.
Loved your community when I was on Reddit. I remembered when it used to be absurd having to wait an entire month just to even post there. r-gaming is some of the most toxic gaming-based subreddits on there. The mods are ban-happy on that subreddit if you’re not regurgitating content in the same vein as the rest do. What I got tired of on there particularly, was the circlejerking outrage porn that happened at any instance whether it’s a game company’s decision or whatever. It was just down to the fact that some fanboy is simply unhappy so they’ve gotta go on a tirade to rile everyone up and go review bomb something.
That’s because it’s all that you have.
They don’t belong on car headlights either. Because, every time, they’re going to be abused by drivers at night. They’re even unhelpful to see road signs, too. Because when the light is focused on them, I noticed I have such a hard time reading the white text on the reflective green background. It’s obnoxious and such an eyesore.
Okay, this is a redditism that should be avoided.
A community that’s opinion-based, yet people run into it just to rant. There is a difference between the two. We already have a venting community here on Lemmy.
Once I went double monitor, I can’t see myself falling back to a single monitor. I’ve used a single monitor for a good decade and a half before toying with double monitors. I just like being able to have things on one monitor and other things on another. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a programmer-specific thing. I now reflect back and hated the idea of having to manage and check so many things while under one monitor. Things would be blinking, but oh wait, I’m gaming, oh wait, I’m browsing too and it’s just too much.
Anyone who can’t answer a simple, innocent and curious question is not worth putting more effort into. That tells me that they prefer to be the one in control of the conversation and later, control of everything.
