I’m just glad that this entire thing has really made me re evaluate my relationship with social media and communities as a whole. Personally I’d rather have a smaller community with a bunch of nerds then another content hose. So thanks bee haw.
The feeling that commercial platforms give me is being harassed until I pay them money.
I like to support platforms, but don’t like being milked like a milk cow.
That’s why I’m completely open source and on free networks only.
Upcoming Reddit DLC store:

Let’s put in more bad ideas.
On SuperUser, people can’t vote and do certain things without reputation. Semi annoying, semi understandable, right? Perfect for Reddit! And of course, users can make a monetary donation to increase their reputation.
I got a message on Reddit yesterday cussing me out for editing all of my comments there.
Someone was mad that a comment of mine that would have been helpful to him was edited, so they couldn’t read it.
I didn’t reply but in my head I was thinking “great, so it’s working”.
Seems like they’re speeding up their own decline.I thought they restored all the edited comments? Maybe I’ll give it a go then.
Apparently they’ve been somewhat inconsistent with that. From what I’ve read, deleted comments have been more likely to be restored than edited comments, though either have been reported to have been messed with resp. left alone by Reddit.
I for one have replaced most of my posts with a “I hope u/spez grows tastebuds on his rectum” standard text some three weeks ago, which they appear to have left alone so far. But that’s a sample size of one user so by no means representative.
Reddit is obsessed with money as of late,wouldn’t be surprised if they start charging monthly for app access.
The simple answer to this is to not use Reddit on mobile.

Is this a fucking joke?? Holy shit lmao.
This absolutely reeks of despair
$49.99 per year
“What the fuck‽” he said, to no one in particular.
That’s pretty insane. Who is paying that kind of money?
I paid for Reddit Premium for years to help support the service and legitimately remove ads. If I remember right, it was around $4/month, so $48/year.
I somehow was given gold twice before they changed how things worked. I was kinda surprised I got gold because the post just said to report people as much as possible when they throwing games in over watch.
Anyway when reddit premium rolled out I got it free for like 2 years because of that. It was a pretty cool/lucky way to get it.
