    It’s almost like the person who wrote that text in the photo didn’t actually understand what any of the words they were saying meant. Like actually. lol

      I’ve been told that musk didn’t come up with that quote himself. I didn’t look further into it, but it’s likely that the person who originally wrote it understood what they were talking about, and musk just thought it sounded cool. Hell, I think it sounds cool, might use it in a villainous monologue or some shit.

    People should be leaving Reddit. They are poor stewards of our content for innumerable reasons. Go back to forums. Go to Lemmy. The key thing is that we should not have centralized arbiters of our discussions online.

        I am still on some meta services because my family is there. But I only post stuff relevant to those people. Everything else is fediverse and bluesky

      Indeed. I deleted my reddit account recently. I like it better here anyways. The pace is slower and the people seem more reasonable here too. My stress levels have decreased significantly since I left Meta and Reddit and that is at once wonderful and scary. Social media is a cancer.

      I think there will be a mass exodus from reddit in the coming years. The site is compromised and the censorship is out of control.

        not all at once, but a gradual decline in non-botted, troll accounts. since reddits mostly bots anyways,. as long as politics, and news subs getting much traffic people will be addicted to the site.

        I have had a much better time on Lemmy, but I’m kind of the target audience in a few ways, so I’m biased. But I do think less harmful, more productive discussion is more likely to happen on this platform, I feel more comfortable discussing and less likely to be called slurs or called out (rather than called in which is undeniably more effective, and coincidentally feels much more common on Lemmy), and I feel like I’ve actually found folks I could see myself working with in some capacity, such as a project to help others patch up their data vulnerabilities, for a simplified example of an idea I’m considering.

        Welcome btw :)

      Their rando-bans and content and word restrictions are fundamental flaws with the platform.

        thier extremely sensitive banning parameters are absurd, cross-banning for posting in a sub that they dont like, reporting other people gets you banned,

      I’m loathe to defend Reddit’s moderation decision but my experience you can never trust the person being banned to explain why they were banned.

        It almost doesn’t matter though because we know rando-bans are a common thing on reddit. Just because some are getting legit bans does not mean that there are not many others getting rando-bans.

    Apart from all the other bullshit rightfully called out below, this makes an illogical implication. Being the smart autistic superbrain Melon claims to be, it’s surprising he doesn’t see that. Or maybe not, because in reality he’s just a sad ass who is too scared of just going to therapy.

    If: Not being capable of violence => Not being able to call yourself peaceful

    Then: Being able to call yourself peaceful => Being capable of violence

    But not: Being capable of violence => Being able to call yourself peaceful

    when did Lemmy become the “I got banned from reddit” frontpage?

    ffs people, STOP GOING THERE. Stop thinking about it. It’s a shithole url. Get over it.

        yeah, and I’ll block it, but you do realize, people who aren’t subscribed still see trending on the front page right?

        and I stick to my premise: you’re here, leave that shit behind. have better standards. encourage those other communities to migrate over if you must but dwelling on spez’s folly is just… bleh. no one should waste their time on it.

          I really don’t understand your issue here. So should people not post their experiences and thoughts on social media?

          It’s a dedicated community for it, it’s in the exact place it’s supposed to be in. I don’t see the point in restricting yourself because you don’t want it to be on the front page or what not

          Besides, it’s still important to discuss the decline of a major user platform like reddit, especially since most of us here have personal experience with it, and likely have friends that use it

    This feeds into the right-wing fantasy that they’re super tough warriors. You see a lot of literature and fictional TV aimed in this direction.

    It’s kind of like the white savior complex but instead of saving some victimized minority, they’re saving weaker and more helpless individuals in their own society. But all the military hero returns home and confronts nasty biker gang or evil drug dealers and kicks their ass without when trying. It all reinforced their world view.

    What do you mean by Elon Musk’s assets should be liquidated?

    Also, Reddit and X have very different moderating policies.
