Right?

I mean maybe, but cute?

Wow. I've seen then mentioned a few times on here before but never knew the background. I'm a particular fan of them claiming they made john oliver famous through the spam.

The cynic in me absolutely suspectes reddit kept them around just for the traffic they generated. But as soon as the protests started it seems to have been "not like this".

Everyone's a critic huh?

I haven't used windows in about a decade. I'm ... Floored. Seems thats really not an experience one needs to have.

I think many male idols in kpop manage to pull off cute very well. Taemin from shinee for example.

Have you watched the leucocyte one already? Pop songs improve so much when they habe the right lyrics!

They look like they have a LOT of questions! Kind of like a cat next to their empty bowl. 🧡

I wish my university did that back in the day. Sounds like a good programme.

Ah I see. I view spez as not stupid but terminally selfish (obviously not mutually exclusive tho) so I have different priorities. Thanks for explaining! :)

The mobile site, however, still shows an annoying popup asking users if they want to open a post in the app, as many users pointed out under the announcement post.

So the page looks prettier while harassing you to download the ad and tracker infested app? That's EXACTLY the improvement everybody was waiting for!

You'd go back to reddit while spez is still in charge? 😱

I think 7 years? I browsed reddit for a while before that reading up on my interests but eventually I created an account. Spent a LOT of time on subs for people who were abused as children. Therapy was used against me as part of the abuse. I am triggered by therapists now -.-" so these online self help spaces were a major part of my journey to understand and start recovery. It became a cornerstone to help me become a person.

Eventually several of these subs had a lot of internal drama. Back then I felt fealty to these communities and tried super hard to fix it. No avail. In a way I did my reorienting and mourning my lost community back then. I cut back on reddit use like 80% already going from many hours a day to maybe a few times a week? I'd still engage if something caught my attention. Especially in the refugee subs about childhood abuse that sprung up.

The recent protests brought that down to "only if I need some specific information". Maybe twice a month? I don't engage at all anymore. I also didn't feel like talking to a brick wall again to attempt to fix an online place. The rhethoric and even some methods between spez and some mods I tangled with is similar enough. I just left this time around. Let my actions speak. I can't bring my self to delete my comments tho.

I still miss a place where people intuitively get what I've been through because they have similar stories. And I'd like to pass it forward some more. I haven't found anything similar on the fediverse yet. But I'm in a place where I don't need it much anymore. It's still just sad that a handful of humans can destroy communities like this. It had such a big impact on my life.

Thanks for reading my sad ramblings!

That's some admirable determination.

I feel the century club pain!

Worm? 😉

At this point I'm pulling out the popcorn to follow which other corner of their product they will set on fire next. Not a single good decision since the protest that I can recall.

Idk about others but I rarely ever browse with desktop anymore. That's still gonna hit google rankings hard.

I do that with mine frequently enough. We both need to know we're pack to each other.

Landed gentry, they look for new landed gentry. They should commit to spez's word. As they expect the mods to do.
