I do too. But I blame Reddit for that, not the users.

You may disagree with the net effect of the decision, but the decision is not hard to understand. The people that are doing it are placing a larger value on harming Reddit as a platform to hopefully force corrective change or encourage movement to competing platforms. You place a larger value on preserving knowledge.

You say you get pissed. My question is do you get pissed at the person who deleted it, or do you get pissed at Reddit for alienating it’s own users to the point of deleting their own comments?

I mean Windows 11 can do annoying things, but it’s not gibberish. Reminds me of XP to Vista, but less about performance issues and more about incessant GUI tweaks no one asked for.

I’d say update it and make do, then move to Linux down the road if it annoys you enough to motivate that decision.

It’s not all bad, I am enjoying the HDR features, which is the only reason I updated before the Win10 EOL.

That said, I do plan on making a Linux VM and playing around to get a feel for it.

Take an edible and have a good time. No one cares.

I still kinda feel like every one of those examples was success based on accessibility and ease of use. Connectivity issues? Inaccessible. Facebook was cleaner and more user friendly. I never had a MySpace because it just seemed more daunting to me for whatever reason. Facebook seemed cleaner and standardized in ways, so to me, it felt more accessible.

Steam and Newell comes to mind, about how piracy is an accessibility and distribution problem.

And no, I didn’t mean to invalidate your stance because you didn’t develop something, more that I too am not a developer so I couldn’t speak to your point about how easy it would be to have Reddit be Usenet based and still have the same level of proliferation. My apologies for being unclear.

Seconded

Signage is definitely important. You can’t just throw shit down on the pavement and have it be treated as a sign itself.

I mean you were asking why people use Reddit, I answered. Accessibility. It’s easy to go to Reddit.com, some website you hear about in passing. Anytime large numbers of people flock to some platform is because they made it easy and attractive to use.

Like, couldn’t I just ask, why didn’t you create this Usenet based reddit killer yourself?

Uh yeah, I’m not going to go to jail over dishonesty. I’m not going to play martyr for some unknown mass of strangers that doesn’t care about me. And you talk about SA and those victims but prison is also a terrible fate unto itself that your argument entirely ignores. It’s like flippant to send someone to prison for years. Imagine if people were that dismissive about SA. Like prison conditions aren’t arguably worse being a risk if consistent SA and who knows how much other horrors.

Should I now counter argue that you bringing up SA without acknowledging the horrors of prison is dismissive of men’s issues because of a for profit prison industrial complex?

Everything affects everything. You bring up something, someone is always going to bring up another side. That’s how discourse works.

But yeah, at the end of the day, my answer is ya, I won’t punish the innocent in order to punish the guilty as a general rule. It may not be utilitarian, but that’s what my gut says is moral. And that’s the best I can go on.

Reminds me of the moral dilemma in the movie Unthinkable.

Lol, they loaded you with ammunition!

Questions:

1. Would you be ok with you or someone you love more than yourself being sent to prison on a false accusation as long as a larger number of guilty people also get imprisoned?

2. Do you think false accusations don’t happen?

I generally take people at their word in my day to day interactions. I’d believe you if you told me something. But I wouldn’t enforce laws on people with only eyewitness testimony. Eyewitness testimony has been proven unreliable.

People don’t know how to use Usenet.

Good answer.

This is true, but I felt like I already learned that lesson shaving my face, ya know the classic chin up position to make the neck skin taught. But you right it’s far far more important down there. Way more room for error.

Maybe atypical, but I wouldn’t call it weird like it was wrong or something. Though I’m not entirely sure what there is to show. I feel like you kinda just have to get the hang of it yourself. The risks and fears are not irrational. No one wants to knick down there. But the concept is pretty straight forward.

I’m no kid brainologist but that looks like solid science to me!

Man I went to a very affluent school and no one gave a shit about what sneakers we had. Unless you had Heeley’s of course. ZOOM!

I wonder how much of MAGA knows the entire population of illegal immigrants is estimated at a WHOPPING 3% of our population.

Yeah, think I’m going to go ahead and block this sub.

He looks around, “Uh, no no, I’ve got stuff to do. But everyone else, they are cowards!”
