I know my system works, otherwise I wouldn’t be immune to your criticism

Only once, before the immunity kicks in

Note to self: before becoming dictator, develop natural immunity to small arms fire. Begin with BB gun?

Illegalish, no criminal history, quite possibly the kindest folks you’ll ever meet, formerly on track for citizenship until trump. What really got us was how quiet it was. Just gone one day. No lawyer, no calls. They simply ceased to exist for a time

I hope never to have to report deportation of a legal citizen or resident, but I will.

Half of my friend’s family is gone and ICE is inching toward gestapo territory. It’s pretty bad

If you expect the US to persist beyond 4 years from now, then now’s prime time. Buy the dip, as they say.

Close the sub for the day when you “don’t have enough mods operating today.” Then open mod applications. Accept no one. Just continue until the subreddit bleeds to nothing in a few weeks, as you’ve broken no rules and redditors are impatient

Edit: and read nothing that you’re sent. Just mark all as read. They will complain loudly. It will spur a reaction that will hinder your plan. Remember your mental health!

Me watching Reddit implode

2/30 for an ethnic group that comprises 1% of the US population seemed a bit odd. Noticing a minor peculiarity and believing it to be negative are entirely different. What offered you the impression that I would view their ethnicity in a negative light?

Not trying to be racist, but why are such a disproportionate number of the names Indian?

I’d hesitate to call lemmy users free thinkers or smart. I’m bog standard, at best, and others here are usually about par with me. No, it’s been pretty apparent that they enact change because of pressure from above and outside, leading to constant issues. The company’s leadership is simply incapable of creating anything better.

They chase money, respect, and trends, in that order, but rarely successfully and even more rarely proactively. They’re a poorly coordinated, reflexive, and myopic behemoth, and have been for a long while. The company’s just too unwieldy for them. But, the intentionality of their mistakes is irrelevant.

TLDR; The only thing of import is the frequency of their mistakes and my lack of tolerance for them.

I’m not sure why people still use that website. “Move fast and break things” works out occasionally, but this feels like every decision Reddit has made in the last 10 years. There were some good early choices mixed in with the bad, and denying those would be silly.

Capitalism’s greatest enemy finally unmasked!

Depends on the variety of fraud. Kids qualifying for reduced cost lunches? Ignore. Companies intentionally offering less than their label states? Offer them the scalding enema they deserve.

That’s incredible news!!

I was trying to replicate a post on this community (this will bump you to my instance, I apologize. I don’t think there’s a way to link posts that doesn’t require one to use the instance of the poster but if there is, I’d love to learn it) when I found this. Unfortunately, after replicating it twice and verifying that other search terms were fully functional, it offers results again. I edited my post to reflect that. Still an incredibly odd bug for a single search term for only an incredibly brief window.

Right? It’s such a ridiculous statement. You’d think the president were a serial rapist, or something.

Whole lot of “Reddit, what are you going to do about the scammers now that we’re paying you?” posts are coming. The answer is nothing. They’ll do nothing.

Actually, they’ll write their lack of culpability more explicitly into the ToS, and then do nothing.

Any of the reports funny or are they all just angery? There used to be a subreddit for funny user reports, where mods would chronicle the silliest reports and Ive had a hankering
