The part about EXIF data is true, but they’re very upfront about this, and they have a sticky post informing people about this and instructing them how to remove the EXIF data themselves. My take is that it’s just a limitation of the site design, it’s good that they inform people upfront, and removing EXIF data a useful thing for people to learn how to do regardless.

As far as privacy is concerned, I’d say that yeah – they’re very pro-privacy. You can still connect with people, though. I’ve met some people on raddle who I’ve actually chatted with off site. So I wouldn’t say it’s anything more than the privacy culture here.

The one thing that sometimes turns people away from raddle is that people on the site tend to have very well-read and carefully formed opinions, and they can sometimes come off as being aggressive and confrontative. But even the people who may come across like that at first are actually very empathetic, once you spend more time there and observe how they interact.

I’ll just say this: I’ve personally not seen anything on raddle that would turn me away from using the site, and I’ve been there off and on since leaving reddit in June.

I like the 196 on raddle, but I keep forgetting to use raddle

“When I was a child, the large skeleton ripped through the fabric of space and devoured my siblings, and I turned out fine!”

This is in Minnesota. When I was a kid, I begged my parents to drive to see it. They rented a room at some motel in Bemidji and made a weekend of it. The highlight of my trip was seeing the huge Paul Bunyan and Babe statues.

I thought they were so great and it was like they came to life out of a book, but now that I see them again… holy shit lmao

It still is. I use a custom collection, and adding extensions is a huge pita because you practically have to use Jedi mind tricks to get Mozilla to show all the extensions on Android.

That said, Libredirect works just fine on Fennec once it’s installed.

Aha mission accomplished ;)

For a lot of people, chips are a treat, and they buy only a single bag occassionally

True, in a better system, we’d have superior solutions to posterior cleaning than the barbaric, wasteful method of using paper

Edit: and better autocorrect as well

That fandom cleanup filter you linked that removes the annoying popup when you highlight text is a godsend

I’d like to add Lakota People’s Law Project and Minnesota Freedom Fund

Worse. I was a Skyrim mod author. I’ve seen what people did once they had access to animation tools [shudders]

There Will Be Porn

Mark Zuckerberg tries so hard to fit in

Watch Dogs 2 is one of my all-time favorite games

The multiplayer mini games in it were so fun, though I’m not sure how many people engage in current year

But the whole game is worth playing, even if some of it seems quaint by today’s standards

Karl Marx had some great ideas. It’s too bad everyone who identifies as a Marxist has such a twisted worldview.

Let’s face it: Even most people who read this thinks, “That sucks, someone should do something about that,” then goes back to drinking Starbucks

Ain’t that the truth! I will say during my tenure on reddit, I heard of CTH and thought to myself, “I ultimately support a similar vision for our future, how bad can it be?” I was shocked to find one of the most exclusionary, bigoted dens of filth I’d seen outside of places like r/T_D

Ableist and bigoted language abounded, it was impossible to engage because they’d immediately bristle when anyone they perceived as beneath them wandered in.

I see a lot of the same things here. It’s really disappointing to us leftists who actually want to effect change. No one will listen to people like that. Hopefully they’re just kids who grow out of … whatever this is.

I concur about .ml. It’s been eye opening being on the receiving end of a homophobic rant by a moderator of their world news community implying I’m not queer enough. It wouldn’t surprise me that they’re racist, too. Bigots tend to subscribe to more than one strain of bigotry.

I know it shouldn’t matter what people like that think, but I’d be lying if I said I’m not disappointed and dismayed. I’ve survived so many things and had a long hard road to self-acceptance. It’s disgusting to be invalidated by someone who likely has more than I’ve ever had.

Not just Jews. They also hate any LGBT+ people they deem not queer or marginalized enough.

Your comment is a perfect example of the pants-shittingly off-topic LGBTphobic nonsense I was receiving in the other thread, so thanks for proving my point.

You … you do realize that trans people and other “queerer” people than me engage in same-sex marriage too, right? And that it’s objectively homophobic for a policy to exist forbidding same-sex marriage while permitting heterosexual marriage? And that not all trans people are poly? I know people that fit all of the above, and every one of them deserves validation, and it would be unfathomably LGBTphobic for me to arbitrarily determine which ones are “queer enough” to be part of the community. You don’t see the problem with this line of thinking, with your entire statement? Of course you do, you’re just being deliberately cruel for your own amusement.

There it is, folks. Exhibit A

Edit: That user is a moderator on !worldnews@lemmy.ml

I’m unsubscribing immediately! And I blocked and reported that user, too.

My love is for all the LGBT+ community, and for the straight cis community as well. I just want equity. For anyone who had to read that homophobic comment above, just know that I do care, and I’m here for you.
