I’ve been asking myself the exact same thing.

The top level comment on this thread, to which you complained about graphical syntax, is discussing the MAU decline over the past 30 days.

If you start at zero, the exact same data is shown as when there is a clearly labeled breakpoint. It contributes nothing other than obscuring the data points and scope of discussion is only for the past month. You’re not making a cogent point.

Just like I said before, a 5% decline is not an insignificant drop or “very slightly declined.” Expanding the scope of the argument to show that it’s actually a far steeper decline in user engagement and then arguing the opposite point is misinterpreting the data. Expanding the scope just shows that the trends are continuously showing declining user engagement with no organic growth other than Reddit fucking up.

Showing the data over an entirely different timescale than what’s currently under discussion means nothing in this context to illustrate your point.

Starting from 0 on the y axis just means you need to change the scale, which like I said makes reading any data points incomprehensible, or end up with an unnecessary amount of whitespace.

All starting at 0 would do is ensure that you have no way to accurately gauge the data points values. It would also just compress the data to an incomprehensible smudge of a line.

The starting point is just so you can adequately see trends for both plots shown and is quite sane. I also don’t know if I could call an ~5% decline and clear trend minimal either.

Ah, thanks for the correction I’ll edit the comment. I always think NC for some reason, but both Carolinas are pretty interchangable in my mind.

Huh, that’s somehow way worse. I always was under the impression that it was only Myrtle Beach.

I’ll copy my response to the other person who was also confused by the reference:

In America, there’s a very popular car windshield decal sticker that people put on that says “Salt Life.” It specifically just means someone visited a popular beach vacation spot called Myrtle Beach, SC. The people who put it on tend to being almost exclusively sporty douchebags and suburban moms.

That’s about it.

Edit: changed NC to SC

I’ll never not read those stickers as “Slut Life” because of the idiotic font they chose.

That’s a shame, but I’m glad Roo is still leading a happy, loving, and healthy life! ☺️ Tiny dogs do have a certain reputation for ego though, there’s a whole syndrome named after them!

They are both very handsome!

You’re right it’s not. Nudes of everyone and the mirrors of SFW posts are also a problem. I made the mistake of commenting on a mirrored post without realizing once and then immediately blocked the bot and instance once I realized. I see no value in approaching a lack of content that way.

The problem with allowing the option for takedowns though is that most people who are being mirrored don’t know that it’s happening. You can’t easily stop something that you don’t know exists and you never opted into in the first place.

You’re probably thinking of the Lemmit bot and community. There’s no reason to not name and shame here.

While I find it weird, unnecessary, and kind of gross too there’s an(or there should be an) implicit understanding that everything anyone puts on the internet is there to stay, forever. Rarely ever is deleting a photo actually removing for good and your tidbit about consent isn’t quite relevant.

The vast majority of the women that are being reposted are Onlyfans models and have watermarks on their photos for this exact reason. Reposting it like this only serves as extra advertising. For real exhibitionists and people who aren’t making money off the transaction, yes it’s gross, but I don’t think you can create any universal rules to easily differentiate between the two without very heavy moderation.

My Vet thinks my cats name is Oliver. He doesn’t know that though and responds only to ‘Cat’

I always considered Birth by Sleep to be the last good entry to the series. Admittedly I never played the actual game of 358/2 and only got the cinematic version from the collection.

I was a massive fan of 1 and 2 as a kid and did a full series playthrough prior to the release of 3. I had a blast through BBS, but my god it was a slough in the later games(including 3).

The comment is far less calm than you would have us believe. I think it just resonated with your own frustrations. That doesn’t make it good in any way.

There’s nothing that’s bestof material here.

You have to go more Im13andthisisdeep with it:

‘When a set has no elements we call it empty. It’s always unique, but contains nothing inside it. What is something else in your life that is also so simple and empty, yet utterly unique?’

Then you wait for a hundred replies, 50 listing various containers that are special to them and the other 50 telling you it’s their soul that’s empty.

For anyone that’s curious but doesn’t want to click on an ad-riddled IGN link - it’s FF 6. No they really don’t elaborate why, the best idea of ‘why’ you get is that it was the last game with pixel art.
