Hasn’t it been in dork mode for a while now? Oh wait, I misread… ;)

This seems unhealthy and obsessive at this stage… I’ve been on Reddit for more than 15 years (don’t even remember exactly, my account was 15 years old but I lurked without logging in for a long while before that) so I understand letting go can be hard, but I think it’s just better for your mental health to do so. Don’t ragebait yourself, don’t expect that any protest will work - it will not, and reddit will only show potential investors massive engagement numbers when they propose to infest r/place with ads.

Just give up - that fight is lost, and we can now have our fun here. We couldn’t save Digg before, and we can’t save reddit now. I have moved on and it was actually easier than expected. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone - just don’t engage with reddit and talk to us here!

So you think words of an Ukrainian priest about Russian atrocities published by a British media source are invalid because… Americans vote for warmongering? Really?

Or do you believe barbarism is a zero-sum game and only one place in the whole wide world can engage in it at the same time?

And finally, you say “This isn’t barbarism. War is barbarism” - what exactly do you believe is happening in Ukraine right now?

A lot. The way I curate my feed is I subscribe to communities that I’m actively and significantly interested in and block all of them that I don’t see myself ever wanting to check out. The rest are places that I might want to see, but maybe not all the time. This way I can filter by Subscribed to see a very focused feed and by All if I want some more randomness, but still without topics I’m really disinterested in.

Not sure if a percentage growth of subscribers is the right metric - a growth from 1 to 3 subscribers looks much bigger when expressed in %…

I visited one of the communities listed, and it literally only had 3 posts - a welcome one and two pinned ones. All by the same author. That’s not exactly what I’d call a fast growig or trending community…

Sigh, sad but true…

Why don’t penalties for fraudulent or criminal practices START at 100% of all revenue generated by such prectices and go up from there? If the only penalty for stealing $1,000 was a $10 fine, I’d just keep stealing - why are companies expected to do otherwise?

“We have noticed that by accident we provided a user-friendly functionality without trying to extract money out of you. We apologize for the convenience and promise that we will make sure it never happens again”

Rif was reddit for me. It was how I accessed it 99.9% of the time. By far the most used app on all my phones for more than a decade. I’m extremely sad that this is how it dies, but all things must end, it seems. Rest in peace old friend. And rot in pieces reddit, for killing the best goddamned app I’ve ever used…
