  • The difference I’ve seen is that people generally seem to be able to call out the crimes or bad behaviour of any of these governments without being called ‘racist to _____ ethnic group’. It has to go both ways, people need to stop blaming the crimes of Israeli governing party on the Jewish people as a whole, AND supporters of the that party’s actions need to stop labelling any criticism of them as antisemitic.







  • 11 years. And, honestly I’m kinda grateful. It was time, regardless of the drama, and an unhealthy amount of my screen-existence was being eaten up by it. There seemed to be a slow, insidious change that I was probably sheltered from by keeping to old-reddit, but even then, the whole spez-API-drama wasn’t so much of a shock, but more the final nail in the coffin that reddit is, with no doubt, now a full on corporate for-profit website just like any of the other social media giants, and will continue to act more and more like them. I’ll admit I didn’t delete my account, just the app, and I still check back in every few days to peek in to a few more niche subreddits that there just isn’t any replacement for elsewhere (yet), but spending my time elsewhere has been refreshing.







  • If you’re interested in Country and Folk but have the range of taste you seem to, you should definitely become aware of Punch Brothers if you’re not already. Basically experimental bluegrass, I’d recommend any of their albums but Phosphorescent Blues might be a good start. The frontman Chris Thile’s also part of Nickel Creek and their new album has a very Punch Brothers feel to it as well.
