Oh dear and it’s some of their more vulnerable subreddits too like Anxietyhelp and Therapy.
Oh and need some for Chrome, lol.
The way I see something as ‘unpopular’ is that you have to feel strongly about it. I’ve studied the way some people have posted over on Reddit, on all unpopularopinion based subreddits like 10thDentist, TrueUnpopularOpinion .etc
What I’ve noted people of doing there is that they’re saying the opposite of what people prop as popular, for the sake of being the opposite. They don’t feel that strongly about it and you can tell. They’ll write a 2-liner post that is very dry, summarizing that they don’t like something because everyone else did, just through their own words. It doesn’t feel strong, doesn’t feel relatable or resonates anything.
I love opinions where someone points at something and has a very vibrant feeling towards it. I’m tired of any of them, unpopular or popular, that are along the lines of “I don’t know why I like it, I just do” and “It sucks because…it just sucks and I’ve got nothing to add to it”.
Someone will make that down the road, I’ll leave it to them.
Who the hell is gonna fire him, though? That’s like clamoring for Mark Zuckerberg to be fired. It’s probably impossible to.
That’s corporate talk. That’s the kind of talk you’d expect to hear from any higher up executive of any company you can think of, that’s knowingly fucking anyone underneath their feet over. Whether they’re for profit or non-profit, private or public.
This demeaning, narcissistic, unaccountable and preemptively assuming kind of language that is shitting out from their mouths and through their fingers. And they wonder why we’ll hate them for the rest of their lives.
I feel bad for every user that hasn’t experienced an internet before all of this. Golden years to me, was 1996 ~ 2008. To others, far earlier.
The only thing we had to deal with then, was just popups. Now, it’s like every fucking thing imaginable has to be turned into some subscription or retooled to be shareholder friendly. Because that’s exactly what everything is gearing towards to appease - these fucking shareholders with stakes. Shareholders, who constitute a band of people who have absolutely no knowledge or fucks given as to what made things as good as they were in past internet. It’s all about data farming for money to then market people to shit.
Google had to go and acquire YouTube, things seemed okay in the beginning. Now look at it, fucking bombardment of ads if you aren’t using an adblocker. Amazon had to go and acquire Twitch and things seemed okay in the beginning. Now look at it, you’re meaning to tell me I have to sit through 8 ads, while you minimize a stream of a channel I’m watching?! AND You’re going to make YOUR OWN SUBSCRIPTION WHEN AMAZON PRIME ISN’T ENOUGH?! ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE?!
Reddit was great until 2016, it broke itself over politics. Then it broke itself even further by 2020 and now we are where we are with it. Social Media, is running in place. It’s about statistics anymore. Has Facebook ever been useful and functional? I’m having a hard time now remembering when the last time it even had real people helping you, because now it’s just in some stupid half-ass wiki that doesn’t even have all of the answers in it’s own ecosystem.
Everyone is too politicized now, almost can’t go a damn few comments anymore without someone coming up to you with an emotionally charged reply, that’s hiding in the background, the basis of their political stance.
FUCK WEB 3.0 AND ALL THAT IT HAS WROUGHT!
It’s now a symbol of how deteriorated Reddit has become. I mean, yeah, you’ve summarized it perfectly. r/place is now the symbolism of everything wrong with Reddit. It’s repetitious, as much as all of the karma farming posts on Reddit have been for years. All the other places had contained a culture snapshot of everything that Reddit brought together.
All that this version of Place has brought, is all of the anguish towards one person and their poor decision making.
And for estranged reason, the previous CEO will be missed.
This happened to Gaia Online, where they lost their main admin for a good few years. Was remembered for basically just stumbling upon luck which got Gaia Online into it’s hottest peak within 2007 through 2010. New CEO comes in, practically decimates the site and it’s community with greedy practices. Old admin comes back, is practically worshiped, but really didn’t bring the same magic as before. Because again, he just struck luck and we realized that he didn’t really have a lot of good answers to bring the site back to shape.
That worked for me as well. Anything else, I just kept getting error after error after error. So I’m not quite certain what’s going on. It appears that to me, it doesn’t like the format provided in this community on the sidebar.
I was proven wrong. What I did was that I looked into my modlog, took the snippet of “/c/web1”, applied it over the format example, while combining the link provided in your comment. It works perfectly.
I’ve been trying that but all I keep getting is errors.
If they’ve nothing to hide, then why are they so dodgy when things like lolicon are discussed? Their actions speak louder than their words ever could.
There is an age old practice from olden days of the internet. If you don’t want your nudes out there, if you don’t want your name out there, if you don’t want anything of you out there - you don’t put it out there. Because once it’s out there, you won’t ever know who’ll see it much less, have it. I always assume, that as soon as I upload a picture of myself somewhere on social media, someone would’ve had to have right clicked and saved it already. For what purpose? Who knows, could be a matter of some sick personal collector of people they particularly are fascinated with to potential murderers who’re only lacking my location but should they find me out in the open, they’ll know what I look like and probably kill me. And anything in between.
But so many people on Facebook, complain about how it is that they make new accounts and suddenly are presented with familiar faces to re-add as friends. Whether or not it’s a new e-mail to even a new location, Facebook knows you so well by now, that they’ll pitch you all of whom you’ve had, even if you don’t want them. That defeats the point of wanting a refreshing restart on your life when all you’ve got is reminders.
Black markets also exist that circulate your data. Why would one think that one day, they’re seeing a bunch of transactions that they didn’t authorize all of a sudden? Well, somewhere at somepoint, someone did seize your credit card or bank info and now is running hogwild on it.
They’re not worried yet because it hasn’t happened to them, but boy do the tables turn once people are affected by these experiences.
There should be a regulation on this. This shouldn’t be treated like Reddit here. If a user creates more than 4 communities and is unable to moderate every single one after that 4th one, be it 5 or 10 whatever. They should lose access to all of those communities and it’s offered to a user who’s more active and willing to moderate it.
This is why Reddit’s moderation is as bad as it is. They have to rely on automoderation to do their work and there are users on there, like awkwardtheturtle, who moderate 100+ communities. They can’t quite possibly have that much time to maintain a single one.
Glorious.
