    I never believed reptilian conspiracy theories but now every time i see his photo and his eyes remind me of reptilian. So what if it is true? What if them ultra rich with true background story how they climbed ladder of power and success are actual reptilians who make regular earth humans do crazy shit. What if? Because nothing else controls people on the planet but ultra rich. Ultra rich do not go to wars and usually do not deal directly with poor common man. They live in their own world behind the walls similar like in the movie “In time”. Putin does not go to war neither his children, or trump. They send poor/uneducated or impressionable people to spill the blood of others.

    Personally I couldn‘t care less about moderator outrage. Just read the room already and leave. No amount of kicking and screaming will take the platform off the hands of technofascists. You‘re clearly not valued there so why would they care if you cry about their decisions? Just grow a spine already.

      I did. I got banned for “Musk fuming is fatally toxic”. The platform is dead now. I bet he has good dirt on Huffman.

      If they didn’t leave after all the crap Reddit has pulled in the last year, they aren’t going anywhere.

        Reddit is solidly shitlib. They easily get more upset over policy than their own lack of influence over policy. These are people who think the elites care about petitions.

        Everything from the last year pointed to this, they just had to see it.

      I tested just writing “Luigi” and was banned for a day. I deleted my 10+ years account with over 200k karma. I was so attached to that profile, but I promptly deleted it after being banned. Fuck these billionaires telling us what’s ok to say.

          When I hear of a Redditor be like this I yearn to test out that napalm recipe like literally how can you be this regarded.
          How much bullying at school must have taken place for someone to… no actually I remember there were people at school like this and this was the reason they were bullied in the first place

              Well then have some modicum of self control and respect and do not fall straight into their stuff.

              Besides, it’s not even about karma you see. It’s just that these “people” if you can call them that, are most opinionated yet most moronic units you could ever come across.

              No sympathy for Redditors and their precious accounts

          I think they were using the karma count to show how much they utilized the platform, emphasizing how big the gesture of deleting their account was.

          When I was deep in the Reddit hole I was obsessed with getting upvotes and avoiding downvotes. It was a dopamine hit. When I moved to Lemmy I joined an instance that doesn’t allow or show downvotes, and it has been a breath of fresh air.

      Because at least in America, we’re all just temporarily embarrassed billionaires. We’ve had a lifetime of brainwashing and conditioning to act against our own self interest.

    I look at Reddit like I look at Facebook. Both are trash and have outlived their use. If you have a profile on either one, delete it or at least delete the app.

      Reddit has been a an archive of some of the greatest collective minds of humanity. Besides the general algorithm up voting bots hogwash, there have been some really good subreddits with excellent information from learned professionals on topics. it I wish it was preserved rather than deleted. The AskHistorians is one of my favourite professional vetted and clean subreddits, lots of academic discussions there.

      But all things have a Golden Era, and then it’s enshittified and fades away. As Lemmy will be one day too.

        I can likely fall into some version of a category of learned professional. IMO, it’s fine, many of us have made our migration to Lemmy. Reddit can burn.

          A bit weird that there isn’t the same cultivation of professionalism though. I feel I don’t see much of it here like there was on Reddit. Makes me wonder if Reddit worked behind the scenes to create it

        Yeah, and try as we might, we haven’t been able to replicate its biggest selling point. It was unfortunately also its greatest vulnerability regarding the corporatetake over.

        It was a central location from which thousands of large, niche communities could be found.

        Lemmy is great, but the decentralized nature of it also fragments small communities and makes it hard for them to launch. I was super active of the Scuba subreddit, but on Lemmy, there are like 8 scuba communities spread across the instances, but they’re all so small there’s no activity on them, and that fragmentation makes it difficult for one to reach the necessary critical mass to become active.

      Journalists do that to indicate that a term is quoted from a source’s word choice; it’s not for emphasis.

    I read the article and the headline is more like click-bait. There’s a lot of innuendo, but not much in the way of factual reporting. I can’t stand the arrogance of Musk, I also believe that venerable reporting companies should be fact based.
