Have you ever seen hedgehogs eat? Now, imagine one that’s starving

Legit, there’s something strangely satisfying in taking a cold hotdog straight from the package, slapping it onto a piece of bread with some condiments and just going down on it like a starved hedgehog.
Eh, if it were easier to block an instance as a user, I’d be 100% with you instead of 95%.
There are instances that are batshit crazy. Since blocking an instance as a user just ain’t possible yet, I can see why defederation before trouble gets going is useful. Once the nasty side of the internet gets snowballing, it’s much harder to manage.
Troll, or serious extremist, some things are just cancerous.
::: spoiler test testing
Aha! That got it. Three colons. Spoiler, then the text for the spoiler listing, an enter, n closing `::: and then it works. It doesn’t work without the enter before the spolied text, which is just confusing and annoying imo. The >! Markdown is so much better.
But! You can enter anything after the initial ::: spoiler
as the text to show before clicking
testing
It’s working on mobile browser for me, but not on jerboa. Jerboa doesn’t seem to recognize several markdown notations.
that’s a screenshot with the spoiler entry from the little triangle with an ! In it from the entry box
Edit: and the jerboa update didn’t bring full markdown support lol
I mean, it’s not even a week in yet.
You gotta embrace it.
Federated space is not like reddit in that there is no single domain.
But it is like reddit in that there can be multiple communities covering the same topics within the fediverse, with different moderators, rules, subculture, and focus.
A perfect example from reddit is r/knives and r/knifeclub. They’re the same thing, often with the same users, and very similar rules. But the vibe has always been different. Discussions go a different way nerdiest because the users aren’t exactly the same. Both are wonderful.
Look at it like this, using another knife example because that’s a hobby of mine. Bladeforums exists. Allaboutpocketknives exists. They’re both knife forums. One existing does not mean the other isn’t useful (though you might find arguments about either one lol). Neither of those takes away from r/knives existing. None of those invalidates YouTube knife channels (though most of those are crap tbh).
You’ll also find that none of those places does anything significant in the way of connecting to each other.
That is where the fediverse shines. Everything here is inherently connected once discovered. There’s places to find communities that have already been created. If you go to the “all” tab within your home instance, chances are that you’ll run across them by accident in a similar way to reddit’s r/all.
So, there’s no need to connect communities on different instances by default. If /c/s decide to do so, that’s awesome, but it’s no more necessary then subreddits having a “similar subs” section in their sidebar.
Every time I see something like this, I’m reminded of the bathroom scene from fight Club. The listing more than the do not fuck with us part.
Not in the Dick swinging sense of it, but that hunting down and targeting the very people you rely on to function cannot end well.
Reddit has cops and criminals, doctors and fighters, manual labor and execs. Not everyone is going to resist, but the cross section of humanity that does is everywhere.
Spez should actually be very glad that project mayhem isn’t a real thing. He could end up with his nuts sent press release style to a couple of news outlets. He’s the fucking poster boy for the anti capitalist hate brigade at this point.
I’m keeping my eye on you, but only in the hope that you post nudes.
And that is why it’ll never happen
Also, any protest that isn’t disruptive is also ineffective.
Heh. You should have seen the post I did to recruit replacement mods.
But, seriously? A lot of these are copy/pastes. Word for word. And they’re all somehow massively upvoted beyond anything else where they occur.
Like, on the edc sub, an amazing comment might have a thousand upvotes. Some of these “fake” comments had triple or more than that. And, insert surprise face almost none of them had any history in the sub. They’d never commented, never posted, didn’t have the sub in their “commonly used” header.
I suspect a combination of active fuckery on an admin level, active fuckery by user groups using sock puppets, and a tiny fragment of actually upset users. I can directly say that admins ignored the fuck out of the one thing I sent them a report on, which was a death threat. Said it didn’t violate reddit rules. K.
We already know that greedypigboy engages in fuckery like editing shit, and that he’s actively seeking to root out anyone objecting to his fuckery. So, yeah, I 100% believe he’s actively working on some part of this too.
As an example of why there’s some group coordinating shit, the prevalence of “coward” in these copy/pasted rants is unusual. For one thing, it doesn’t fit the actual events, so it points to a deep misunderstanding of the word coward. Then, it gets used so frequently that it boggles the mind that so many people have the same misunderstanding. This points to a small group of idiots running a campaign issuing sock puppets.
Since a decent number of the comments like this looked the same as the typical bot account, with a few months of use, but minimal activity outside of complaints, I’m not sure if I believe any of them are individual users expressing themselves. Those comments have a different feel to them than the copy/paste ones.
I mean, he’s outright said no already. He isn’t interested in doing this.
Ngl, us r/efugees are not happy with things over there.
As much as I’m coming to enjoy this, it still isn’t what reddit was, nor is the app experience anything close to as feature rich. But, I’m finding other benefits here that are, and never were, possible at reddit, so it’s still a good thing :)
Reddit is proof that no publicly traded company, nor any that intends to be, can be trusted with anything. Not use that was ever in doubt, but reddit has shown it in such a glaring, grotesque way that it’s the poster child for how shitty corporate thought is.
I dunno. I was enjoying things. I had started moderating two subs I deeply cared about, with one having a strong sense of community building. There’s an emotional response to the loss of that. But I’ll be damned if I’m going to put in the work, put in the passion, when it’s shit on by the very company that profits from my free labor. fuck spez, fuck reddit
I dunno, I was up and running in five minutes. You pick an instance, you sign up, you verify the email, and you’re good to go. What server doesn’t matter much, barring it closing unexpectedly and without warning. There’s not enough users to need more than a handful.
