Reddit faces content quality concerns after its Great Mod Purge

the anonymous Redditor pointed me to the subreddit's sidebar, which has a disclaimer about the dangers of electricity. However, the disclaimer is only visible on old Reddit. The mod doesn't know why.

Wow this is the part that made me laugh the most. One of the first things I learned when as a mod was that you had to change the side bar in both old.reddit and the newer version since they both have different sidebars.

I never even realized that the loss of whole mod teams could make this simple feature unknown by the new team.

New cars are great...

Sometimes the updates aren't even worth it.

Toyota said my prius needed an update so I installed the app for it. All the update did was remove fucking features that were usable in the car. Used to have the option to use Pandora from the console but it got removed randomly by an update.

Then they installed an Alexa search page that glitches my console if I every select it.

Basically I'm saying FUCK TOYOTA

Suddenly seeing more hexbear posts. Did we re-federate with them?

Sucks for you guys. They caused nothing but trouble when they were still federated with Blahaj.

After so many of us complained about how they were being dicks and many on the instance weren't feeling comfortable, hexbear decided to defederate from us first since they somehow said it wasn't safe for their LGBT members to be on it.

Funny enough a few days later a new account started posting across different lemmy instances for days about how the Blahaj instance was anti trans and that the admin was too. Our Admin is openly trans :/

The whole argument started because the user said everything had to be political and wouldn't stop insulting others who said they didn't want to have every post on Blahaj to turn political.

It was just too perfect timing how a few days after hexbear defedarated for somehow saying the pro LGBT instance was anti-LGBT, that we got a brand new account attacking trans members while sayin they were anti-trans.

Enjoy your new people.

Thank God I wasn't the only one who went WTF. That's like one of the simplest things I learned as a mod in my first 2 days. You gotta update the sidebar twice for both versions of it. It's been over a month since they probably took over and they still don't know this.

I love this article but it also makes me sad like with the old r/canning mods pointing out the unsafe material the new mods left up.

What's the most hilarious or ridiculous Wi-Fi network name you've ever seen or created?

When I was in college I lived in a off campus student housing area and they had the the most passive aggressive wifi names.

"WeHearUJackOff"

"StillHearUCryingWithShowerOn"

"WhoCooksOnionsAt4AM"

"PleaseTakeAShower"

"UrDogGotTheShitsAgain"

It wasn't just one wifi. It was like three SSID's all arguing to each other. They began responding to each other by changing their names also lol.

Suburbanites Baffled By Person Outdoors Who Isn’t Delivering Something

Lmfao Sugar Land. The Onion picked the perfect place for the article. It can be said the same for the rest of Houston too.

I remember driving to pick my friend up around there a decade ago, but having to stop in her subdivision first to fix my cars screen/central console by updating. Parked between two houses in the suburbs and began fixing it.

The owner of one of the houses came out and just stared at me. Eventually he began to flash his garage door lights constantly at me to go away. I wasn't blocking his driveway or anything during this. The old guy just keep looking at me as I was trying to reset stuff.

Then he got in his car and just idled it in the driveway and began flashing his high beams at me. I was stuck sitting there because the car required to be parked while updating. Eventually the dick sped his car forward out of his driveway and blocked me from even able to move forward. He lowered his window and just stared at me again. I held up the phone that said it was updating my car and told him. He just said OK and kept watching me until it was done and he moved to let me go.

Only 9/10 minutes had gone by from when I first parked to when I left. Such a creepy ass moment to deal with when I was 17 years old. I fucking hate living in Houston.

You mentioning the car thing is so true. Anytime you mention stuff about cars here, you'll get the typical comment reply using it as a soapbox platform to say how cars are the devil.

The FuckCars users are some of the most toxic people on this site. It's not even worth arguing with them.

Be sure to get the new booster. I delayed getting it by a week and tested positive Saturday morning. Sinus + Upper Respiratory infection has been a fun thing to experience lmao.

Worst part so far was last night when I couldn't tell I was eating expired kimchi until I took a closer look. Lack of smell or taste can be tricky lol.

It's definitely not over dude.

I caught it after one person infected over a dozen people at a birthday party last week.

I spent over two days locked to a couch unable to handle any food with a 104 fever and now I'm mostly just dealing with the leftover sinus & upper respiratory infection it caused.

And this is honestly one of the first covid posts I've seen here in a bit. No idea what you are talking about.

Reddit slowly became filled with hate

The site just became so unbearable the last year or so.

Found it hard to have discussions on the bigger subs because it felt like it was just too easy for people to just swoop in and be a dick.

Once replied to a post about a student having to drive 2 hours home from college to visit. People were saying that was an insane amount to drive and that it wasn't reasonable. It was in Texas and they were just driving from Houston to Austin which really isn't insane. My college was the same amount of distance here and I drove back each weekend.

Had somebody angrily reply with how that was bullshit and I was a moron for thinking it was normal to drive like that. Also said I was what was wrong with the site (lol).

All I did was try to give my own personal experience with being in college im Texas when your university is 100 miles away and I got weirdly attacked. Like it was my fault for the size of my state lmfao
