Save the magnets, lol.

The beginning of enshittification.

Prices will keep climbing, functionality reduced in favor of service tiers, and of course ads, ads, and ads.

Gotta love the hollow morality in telling users they’ve been psychologically manipulated this time but yet do nothing about the tens of thousands of bots doing the exact same thing 24/7 the rest of the time.

No. Just another way to mine for data.

A reddit post? They’re not the best detectives by any measure. Whatever. It’s meaningless without being able to tie it directly to Musk with something verifiable. Not just an account saying “I am Musk.” 4chan is full of shit.

People who think they’re an island. I don’t know how to describe it. People who operate like little effort should be expended on the fact that other humans exist around them and they’re part of society along with some responsibility for that society. Doesn’t matter if it’s stopping in the middle of a busy sidewalk in a group and blocking it, driving the speed limit in the passing lane, or utterly destroying the use of spelling, grammar, and punctuation in an online post forcing the reader to translate it into something meaningful. People unwilling to return the courtesies and efforts those around them offer by default.

Read rich dad poor dad. Nothing but leveraging yourself into oblivion and doing your best to make the most sketchy writeoffs or deductions you can. Heck, the author is allegedly a billion in debt and has filed for bankruptcy at least once. Not exactly a resounding example of his own financial advice.

There was supposed to be a well regulated militia.

The militia we have are gravy seals and Y’all Qaeda who want to dismantle regulation and rights.

sell outs

Well, yes. That’s entirely the point. It started years ago with the quarantining of fringe subs like WPD or Spacedicks, followed by allowing extremist subs like T_D to continue unfettered. Those were red flags many recognized, and Spez made it plainly obvious he was planning on commercializing Reddit and wanted a platform for advertisers. He didn’t lie about that, it was openly stated. Those events were followed up by cramming the Reddit app down our throats, the closing of the API, removing mods and communities protesting Reddit actions, the cleanup of anti-Spez art on /place, forcing ads into the feed, etc., etc. Now we have tacit support of censorship in support of an oligarch.

IOW complaining that Reddit “sold out” is a bit late. It happened a while ago. Now they’re licking the boot

I dumped Plex years ago even though I paid for it. Too many issues with it. Constantly losing movie folders, unable to stream to the device I wanted to watch on, wrong codec, wrong sound, etc, etc. I gave up. I’m sure it worked fine for most, but it got to be a pain. Switched to Jellyfin and a DDNS address and have had zero problems since. And it’s free.

As an ‘80s kid, I got freeware that was free from services that also offered try-and-buy software. Specifically labeled as freeware. As usual, there may be a definition that was agreed upon in the circles the author moved in, but on the consumer/DOS side there absolutely was “freeware” = free of charge.

This isn’t /shittyphilosophy or some sort of personal mantra, this is signaling what he thinks of those who do not engage in violence against him. He’s simultaneously calling out everyone for being weak and not challenging him and more importantly to himself implying he is strong because of that lack of resistance.

Just received my third PM from this person. While s/he (because we don’t know who is actually doing it) is certainly now infamous for their well-known solicitations, it’d still be great to close the door on them.

So is this a bot or AI scanning for these statements or is it snowflake conservatives crawling all over the site and reporting anything remotely disagreeable to them?

Absolutely. Already have a couple.

Reddit has gone full fascist. Wow. Never thought I’d see the day.

If you back out the view to 6+ mo. it matches the overall decline of the market in general. You could grab many stocks and ask the same question and it would be correlation, but not any cause by the particular company.

That really sucks.

Ah, they’re now mini-zampolit for the reddit admins.

So front yard? Yeah, not super surprised at that. I’ve heard plenty of stories about front yard cultivators running into problems with the city. I live in a more rural/urban mixed area so it’s a lot more forgiving. Plenty of people here have apples or other fruit trees in the front yard - not aggressively farming the yard, just as part of the plantings.
