Call me dumb if you want, but I still see a big issue in MSFT’s naming convention for XBox. They need to stop trying to be clever and just do something sequential.

Jack in the Box is the absolute worst fast food that exists. I’ll eat a Burger King burger over Jack in the Box and that is saying something.

Hell, I’ll eat a gas station sandwich over Jack in the Box.

Agreed! I can’t stand these clickbait thumbnails.

Even worse, it seems the block user functionality on kbin isn’t currently working.

No one wants to see the same article spammed 5 times in a row on their feed.

It will just turn into something completely unrecognizable compared to what it was.

Completely agreed. Reddit won’t die, but it also won’t be the “front page of the internet” as it was from 2016-2022 or so.

Man, I don’t know. I know this is just a personal anecdote, but around my friend circle, I haven’t gotten a single share from reddit in over a month when we used to send links back and forth daily. Those same people have said they haven’t visited reddit in a month, other than the rare checkin on the drama.

I’m sure the significance of the impact is relatively small, but I’d also guess many of those that left were heavy users and contributors. I’ll go over there to check every few days and have noticed the content quality is significantly worse than 2 months ago.

That said, it is also very possible this whole thing blows over and the million or so of us that left are meaningless in reddits overall lifespan.

What other bait communities? We can’t just accept “think of the children” as an excuse. That doesn’t work.

Yes, no one wants actual CSAM to show up in their feed, we can all completely agree on that. But just because some middle-aged woman can’t tell the difference between a 20 year old and a 15 year old, doesn’t make images of the 20 year old CSAM.

There are communities on NSFW Lemmy where people intentionally present as children engaged in sexual abuse scenarios.

If you are referring to the community that was cited as the reason for defederation, this is completely false. The community in question is adorableporn, extremely similar to the subreddit of the same name. No one, in any manner, in either community, presents as a child. While yes, the women that post there tend to be on the shorter and thinner side, calling short, thin adults ‘children’ is not being honest.

To be clear, this community is about petite women. This community is NOT about women with a kink to present as a child.

Soon cosmically? Yes, very.

Soon relative to human life span? Very unlikely.

I’ve assumed all “personal” stories on reddit were fake since I started reading reddit. I’m sure that isn’t true of all of them, but I’ve found it better for my mental health to just assume those stories are all fiction or creative writing exercises.

This post appears to be from an anti-US, pro-China propaganda account.

Down vote, block, and move on.

r/kinda_relevant_sub

As the only text. No, just stop. Add something to the conversation please.

That Google exec’s comments along with the Apple showcase of Apollo must have reddit leadership shitting their pants.

So much for the protest having “no effect”.

Simply put, because Blizzard still makes great games. I had a blast with Dragonflight. I’m currently having a blast with Diablo4.

I’ve had very few connectivity issues with D4, even at launch, the game has been smooth as butter. Yeah, I wasn’t able to login for a bit recently, but it wasn’t much of a bother.

Ducks fly together! Brave search is pretty decent too, if you haven’t tried it yet.

he’s managed to lose money, burn bridges, and fuck up the whole deal all for thppe sake of chasing a few dollars of API revenue

Let’s call this what it actually was though, there was no attempt at making money from the API. This was entirely to shut down 3rd party apps. Smart AI companies will just scrape reddit. The only people affected by this are 3rd party app developers and users.

This is even more amazingly incompetent. There are a near infinite other ways they could have handled 3rd party apps not showing ads, but they instead chose the brute force method that makes no one happy.

Reddit is incompetence. That is their lifeblood.

How else would anyone read this statement?

Oh the irony of AskMen complaining about hatred

Calling it irony is absolutely insinuating that AskMen is hateful.

That said, I’m happy to be shown I’m wrong. How did you intend for this comment to be interpreted?

You are thinking about incel forums. r/AskMen is not that, at all.

Is your point that r/askMen is a hate subreddit? Do you think men shouldn’t have a place to talk about men only things?

Agreed. An application that must be human reviewed is a very large gate that many people will see and just close the site. Myself included.
