Right? Like what the fuck. I can't imagine ever going, "haha look at Eric's penis. AOC is a legend!" or anything. I like AOC because she doesn't do things like that. And if she did things like that, I would lose respect for her.

That was such a weird and weak "but both sides" attempt because it's only based in a hypothetical situation where they can pretend they know how things will totally turn out.

Edit: oh. Surprise. That koofnoof's history is not surprising at all. Apparently thinks conservative ideas such as hating trans people isn't hateful because "the true hate is from the trans people hating themselves". I've never once yet ever on here or reddit seem a stupid "both sides" come from anyone even remotely left leaning. It's always hateful bigots trying to say everyone is as much of a piece of shit as they are.

That's why I still use Vanced. Sponsorblock is something I can't live without even though I have YouTube premium.

I don't know. I feel that the soul is part of what makes cannibalism so delicious.

To be fair, with a website as huge as reddit, a 25% or even 50% decrease in user activity probably won't be that noticeable from someone like us. Instead of 2 million posts a day, it's not now 1 million. Or instead of 500k, it's 250k. None of those are knew we could feasibly differentiate.

Maybe if you sit on r/all and keep track of how fast new posts are moving, but even then, the algorithm may still just move the same number of posts up and down the main pages. So even then, it would be hard to tell if usage is down.

Now obviously there's no way it's down that much. It's significantly lower. But I'm just saying even if we pretend that it was down that much, it would look like business as usual.

Also, either way, I'm still glad to find this place. It feels nicer and offers what I wanted in a way reddit couldn't.

Basically reddit admins said they will remove mods that don't open the subs back up.

Mods opened the subs and took a poll.

A) open like normal

B) only allows submissions of sexy John Oliver.

I think r/pics and r/gifs both did that. Not sure about any others. The vehement majority voted only sexy John Oliver posts.

So now the subreddits are technically open. And posts like this are what are filling them.

You're assuming most of them are arguing in good faith.

Yes. Has been for a while now. I'm thinking probably years at this point.

I love all the, "I'm actually black and democrats are the real racists!"

I'm sure there are some black people that do believe that. But I mean like... KKK and nazi members and such aren't comfortable showing up to democrat rallies to show their support. Republicans seem to have no issues co-mingling with them.

But hey you have people like Kaitlyn Jenner who still support republicans despite the fact that so many of them think of her existence as woke and needs to be exterminated. So... Who knows.

Yep. He probably couldn't care about that community until he realized that hating it got ratings up with hateful conservatives.

Maybe a hot take, but I don't mind as long as there are no victims and no one is actually hurt.

But I also won't lose any sleep if the content is banned by communities that don't want that (such as kbin.social if that happens to be the case).

Otherwise you end up playing server whack-a-mole

That's always been a thing in the fediverse. Most instances have a rather large blacklist to block out stuff such as nazi subs and racist subs and worse.

Literally the only reason I chose kbin over lemmy.

I want to try something... Less involved in getting me on more lists.

Honestly, people posting unrelated trash to subreddits with new moderators would be good. A dozen new moderators against thousands of non-bots just posting shit to reddit would be fun to try to moderate.

Not even rule breaking stuff so you can contribute more than once. Like submitting wikihow articles for laying down floor tiles in TIHI. and upvoting other posts that don't belong.

Exactly. Whereas mastodon is for microblogs (Twitter basically). And the Instagram one.

You know... I never thought about that. I would usually wonder why trainers only have like 2 or 3 pokemon.

I only have 2 dogs despite there likely being 150 breeds. What kind of psycho would horde so many pokemon?

Imagine a charmander and evolutions. Constant fire hazard from the tail alone. That little fuck would spend it's entire life in it's pokeball if I want to have any hope of insurance covering my house.

Actually I feel like insurance just wouldn't cover you if you have any pokemon at all unless you pay extremely high premiums.

Wish granted. You have 24 hours.

You're a psychopath for suggesting overcooked. That will bring out the worst in people. I played with my wife and I heard words and insults come out of her mouth that I've never heard before in my 20 years of knowing her.

I've heard similar stories from couples as well. That's a game you play when you have a steady solid foundation of a relationship and you feel like breaking it a little bit.

4.8/5 tho. Fun game.

"Fine... It's Imagine Dragon... These balls over your face! Eyyyyy!"

It would've at least given us closure.

To be honest, some days I feel like the sun is my weakness as much as a vampire. Especially with summer coming up.

Honestly, probably. I didn't see the flash only because it was one of those super hero movies I can watch later or something. My wife also loves super hero movies and didn't feel like going. Not because we felt it would suck, but because we felt it was probably good enough for home watching.

Barbie is something both of us want to watch and are going this evening to see. I'm sure it will have a lot of similar tropes to lots of movies and isn't going to change cinema forever, but it will at least be different enough from super hero movies in general and looks it will be fun.

So I don't hate flash. I just decided to skip it for later as I've done with other DC and marvel movies. They're not different enough from each other anymore. It used to be Captain America as a spy thriller and Thor as an old gods new world type of deal and so on. Now marvel is just average jokes average movie. Which is fine but that's home watching stuff. Maybe an occasional theater watch if we want to get out of the house.
