I think that anyone who's been around reddit long enough knew this was coming. Reddit isn't a free and open platform, and never was. The admins allowed moderators free reign just so long as they didn't do anything that reddit didn't want.

PSA: Mastodon is NOT Twitter and does not aim to be.

I feel like this post is basically saying "our hammer isn't a hammer because we put a really nice grip on it and it's being wielded by a very nice person". At the end of the day, it still drives a nail.

Just because there's a cultural difference doesn't mean it isn't the same type of social media tool. Simply call it a better form of Twitter and be done with it.

Kids' Cartoon From Conservative University Claims That Slavery Was 'No Big Deal'

I don't understand PragerU... they put out all of this fascist propaganda, but they still have this video up on their YouTube channel that spells out in no uncertain terms that the cause of the civil war was slavery and the south's want to defend a "morally repugnant institution":

Is this just the one thing they keep out there to point at and say that they're "fair and balanced"?

Mod Response & Survey Meta Discussion (Mod Approved)

Racist pieces of shit have already stolen swastikas (meh), viking stuff, white polo shirts, red hats, and the OK hand gesture among many other things that we can no longer in good conscience use. Stop letting these assholes have our words, symbols and clothing items. Take them back, make them our own again.

No one is seriously mistaking the PC Master Race joke with an honest attempt to genocide our way to a "pure race" or some evil shit. Suggesting that the name be changed is cutting the nose off of a community solely in order to spite its face, and doesn't 'protect' anyone.

Teen Passenger Detained In Airport For 'Skiplagging'

Reply in thread

I'd bet they reacted like they did specifically because the person is a minor - a minor who is in the care of the airline and who they're responsible for until they reach the intended destination. If the final flight arrived without the minor on it without it being intended, they would most certainly have some level of liability for the minor's whereabouts.

Why is the next generation of memory (DDR5, DDR6) always in graphics cards before it becomes directly placable in a PC?

When it comes to motherboards, they have to develop the slot / physical form factor for the memory chips and get motherboard manufacturers to begin adopting it, whereas GPU manufacturers can just begin integrating the new memory on their boards when they feel the price/performance ratio is worth it.

(edit) - For clarification, GPU's don't have sticks of RAM the way a motherboard does. The memory is just soldered on the GPU along with the rest of the chips.
