I don’t wanna chalk it up to some psychological issue, but I think they are very much in denial about this and will say anything to absolve themselves of the responsibility they have to teach history before it repeats.
So instead, they rewrite history…
Which brings me to my next point. I also don’t want to chalk it up to some psychological issue because literally whitewashing history like this is an evil thing to do. It’s a choice they are making…
Too many people seem to think that we are picketing Reddit in hopes they change course and we can go back. Most people need to stop pretending and just go back to reddit, or just shut up and rebuild their communities somewhere else.
Maybe it’s your IP address? I’m not sure how Reddit does preliminary screening, they might be seeing your IP address trying to create a new account when you previous account was accessing from the same IP.
Also, what got you banned? Admit the silly thing you did.
From what I’ve seen it’s a bell curve most of the time. People grow up and stop being little twats and eventually get to the point where they start to become big twats.
Mastodon has been a fun replacement for twitter, but I don’t really use it to keep in touch with real life friends, I use it to meet new internet friends and keep up on niche topics/hobbies. I have no interest in a Facebook replacement tho. The format of Facebook is lost on me at this point and anyone who I want to keep in touch with since leaving Facebook has my phone number. As for family, I see them for holidays and it’s more than enough for me.
This is exactly the news I needed today. I have been playing with the idea of using Funkwhale or Ampache, but couldn’t bring myself to self host another media system knowing that Plex could theoretically do it. The regular Plex app sucks so hard for music tho, this is gonna solve my issue I think.
People like that make me like systemd. Honestly, I see no issues and rarely have a problem with systemd. Shitposting about it is all well and good, but being an anti-systemd evangelist is tiring and weird. All these old heads can still just grab the kernel and build their own OS around it with whatever init they want.
