I agree with the others, you sound like the type of person that the emergency fund is designed for.

When your headline is that every week for the past 20 years it gets desensitizing, yeah.

You’ll be downvoted but you are objectively correct

Yep my thoughts as well. People getting riled up over posts with zero evidence.

You can’t just write an essay like that and not tell us what terms you used for your searches

For some people that’s just how dating works out

Gooooood

That community fails to understand Musk operates in “any publicity is good publicity” nowadays so it ironically helps him. Blocking that community was the best thing I did and recommend everyone do.

It’s more safe than closed source because it’s open for all to view and edit. Of course if nobody looks at it then it’s as good as being closed.

(Just my personal observation)

Basically during the subreddit lockdowns most of the users there didn’t and still don’t give a fuck about the api changes, which is understandable. The NBA finals were going on at the time, and while that contributed towards their disdain towards shutting the sub down, I personally think even if it was off-season they still would have the same attitude. But none of that actually makes them poor users.

The issue primarily is that the whole fiasco revealed a lot of their true colors. Most of the posters are willing to bootlick and grovel as long as they get what they want; which is a place to shitpost/discuss the NBA. They do not care how trash the official app is and generally think the people complaining are crying nerds that need to touch grass. It’s fair to not care about people complaining about using unofficial apps, but not understanding how the api changes eventually affects them and their precious sub is sad to see. Even worse was when some of them went out of their way to disseminate misleading information everywhere.

You know how Reddit started degrading as more and more “”“normal”“” people started piling in? That’s them basically. They never came to the site early on to grow it, only near its twilight years to inevitably cause its downfall. This place right now is awesome, but once you get a userbase that’s comparable to youtube comments, it gets bad.

You don’t want most of r/NBA here. Trust.

Great, permanent nsfw worked. Their next move is to run an active campaign to get people out of Reddit and onto better alternatives. That’s all that’s left now.

I’m just glad some mods are smart enough now to realize that putting subs in nsfw mode is the way to go. The subreddit shutdown, John Oliver spam, etc, really didn’t accomplish anything. Like, why would Reddit admins even care you’re spamming John Oliver? You’re still getting them ad revenue.

It sounds like you should just make your own instance

So what does he think about renting cars? Lol, what a dumb take.

Ip style blocking just isn’t feasible. It’s very easy to get your IP changed in certain regions. I recall in a community where someone ban evaded so much in a third world country that banning him effectively meant banning an entire continent.

Seems like the saving grace is anyone can either start or move to a different lemmy instance whenever. It’s not like someone can just host their own copy of Reddit if spez ever went nuclear.
