Don’t worry, you won’t be able to afford this anyway.

If I had to guess based on years on reddit, Mastersmacks is on an unstable instance that’s causing him to double post. The other commenters aren’t bots, just unoriginal pranksters hazing Mastersmacks’ double post by copying and pasting.

It’s a dumb thing redditors would do all the time when someone accidentally double posted.

I think you’re far too willing to believe that every consequence of his actions is somehow intended and desired, like he’s playing 4D chess to acquire magic Attention Coins that are somehow going to translate into wealth and power later. The truth is that Elon is an impulsive idiot easily swayed by other idiots on the right, and this negative attention is only going to make it harder for him to ever make back the money he invested in Twitter, which in turn will tank Tesla.

Dang, how did you manage to nail the right font for X in a comment like that?

So when does Kevin Costner get to sue James Cameron for his lazy copy of Dances With Wolves?

Most online platforms are susceptible to hosting CSAM and Mastodon deserves to be scrutinized and investigated for it as much as the rest. The problem with a million decentralized instances is a million different people in charge of detecting and eliminating CSAM from their platforms, and it’s going to be a challenge as this platform grows.

I think we're going to be seeing new waves of Reddit users on a fairly regular basis. Steve Huffman likes to roll these things out slowly in drips and drops, and it is very unlikely that this move alone will make reddit significantly more profitable to run. If he wants to do an IPO soon then he's going to need to make some more choices that really annoy the users (banning porn seems like an obvious one, even though he's said something like he's fighting to keep porn on reddit). They're going to keep cracking down in dumb and obvious ways on things and redditors will abandon ship just as soon as something they care about gets in some way messed with.

Don't forget that redditors have left reddit in large chunks dozens of times in the past.

Yes, but also no.

At the end of a r/Place event the palette changes, and you can only place white pixels.

So yes, you could use a bot to write it again; but no, in reality you wouldn’t be writing anything.

Welcome to the World of Tomorrow!

Text based social media will never work. I don’t want to hear your thoughts, I just want to see you dance.

But you can block whatever communities you want. I’ve blocked a lot of different communities that have content I don’t like, and now they’re not in my feed.

You're forgetting misfires can happen soon after ejaculation (and probably other things).

Polls this early don’t mean anything. They’re just useful for encouraging donations.

Wat

Everyone who left reddit or significantly reduced their time on reddit returning to constantly refresh a page advertisers won’t see that says “fuck spez” is helping to boost Reddit’s numbers. This isn’t just about whatever number of people left reddit for Lemmy.

You’re just driving up traffic and engagement on reddit, at a time when Huffman desperately needs to convince advertisers that reddit still has a lot of traffic. It’s saving the company financially.

So yeah, not a great protest.

I still want better content sorting options, though. I don’t want to have to block a subset of content just so that I can see a different subset. Like sometimes I want a meme, sometimes I want to see what’s going on in the world. There are dozens of communities for each of those.

I joined because I still want the same content without the asshole owner. I’m here for the different power structure, not because I hated Reddit’s content.

Because this is donation-funded. Having a big audience is the only thing that can ensure financial stability long term.?

And I don’t think content that is funny rather than informative is inherently bad or less important. There’s nothing wrong with this place being fun and not just some stuffy content classroom.
