What?

Agree. Honestly, websites just feel so much cleaner without ads. Like, ads are literal visual pollution and I hate it.

Honestly just funny to see. It makes perfect sense, based on how they made the site hostile to users.

Man he's had signs of dementia for a long while now. What makes these signs any more impactful than previous ones?

For real. It's wild how often people don't just straight up call out bad corps.

If prosecuting everyone in the files causes the collapse of the system, that kinda implies the system is bad and needs collapse.

It's kinda how I feel about corporations supporting good things. People will point out that they're only doing it for money or whatever, but I don't care. If they all start supporting and normalizing good things, I don't care that it started for dumb reasons.

I remember when Russia cut itself off from the internet for like 3 days, and virtually every social media site I frequented was a lot calmer and nicer for those days. It was surreal seeing how fucking much of the internet is just Russia.

Is that not just a wallet?

old.reddit.com. Anything that doesn't work on that or is to cumbersome to use on that is not worth engaging in.

No. Does not sound appealing. Refed with them so a huge chunk of us get fed up and have to manually block, knowing they're still nominally connected to the instance? I really don't want to be surrounded by that stuff nor by people being influenced by it.

Edit: Honestly, the more I think about it, the more I dislike it. If you hop over there and read many of their posts, they don't just lean hard left/right, they are in a genuinely alternate reality. Like, you could move some of their posts to an alt-history roleplay and they'd make more sense. I'm down to hear different views, but I want them stemming from this reality. Harder no than before.

I always dug into RegEdit to disable this crap. And somehow, each time, it was a different series of steps.

I don't know if it's art or just creation. Like, if I had infinite money I'd spend time on leatherworking and making little machines/programs. Both a form of creation.

No it's still insane, just common and expected.

This here is straight up one of the biggest reasons I do not want a kid. Right now it sure seems like the best thing I could do for my children is not force existence upon them.

Yeah, it's Matt Damon and Patton Oswald's fusion dance result.

Because they weren't made as stylish. If you had that exact same tv, but with wood-style paneling and the occasional velvet lining, it would be exactly as charming. Nice style has been phased out over time, being reserved for extremely expensive versions of appliances instead of being the standard.

And like, that's not to say there's literally no nice style in anything these days, but the average product tends to look... bland and cheap.

Kind of a weird title. Of course adoption would slow? The people who want it have adopted it, the people who don't haven't.

Didn't damn near everyone vote yes on it?

They stopped showing the number of thumbs down. They did not take away the thumbs down button.

While true, what's the difference? Do we know that they use thumbs down in anything anymore?
