Por que no los dos?

Until we drop First Past the Post voting for Ranked Choice, we will never be free of the regressive portions of the democratic party.

TO BE CLEAR: This isn’t a ‘both sides’ argument. Only one party tried to overthrow a legal election by force.

That said, voting blue is only necessary because we realistically have no other choice under our current voting structure.

This isn’t reddit. You don’t have to do that.

Burn it all the fuck down.

A government that doesn’t take care of its people is a government begging to be ousted.

I love this personally. The admins had a vision for the future that was not based in any form of reality, but rather the same wealth extraction tactics that have collapsed so many other services.

Anyone who remembers the Digg exodus, there are reflections of that in reddit’s stittastic new policies.

Just more proof that enshittification isn’t a slow erosion of quality over time but rather direct actions taken by a profit-seeking leadership.

If you go back now and look in older technically complex threads it is a wasteland of [Deleted] and various account scrubber script Lorem Ipsum as a good chunk of decent contributors have left and burned their accounts.

Good.

Looking forward to the day that they don’t prop up google anymore.

The only platform regressives embrace is built on the pillars of bigotry, hypocrisy, and self-centeredness.

They will say anything to turn the situation to their advantage, and there is no truth in them.

WoTC might not sell its DND IP but Hasbro could easily sell the entirety of WoTC to Tencent if they wanted to.

Good!

When I was a kid I loved hanging out in the library, reading books and newspapers and learning so many things.

But it was always empty, and the librarians always seemed surprised to see me as a regular.

Libraries are wonderful places that don’t demand you spend money to be there and everyone should get a card even if only for the extra ID.

I think you are mistaking infiltration for ‘getting spread out too far’.

Nearly all of what you describe can be most easily attributed to planted agitators.

I have tried to switch my daily driver to linux for more than 15 years now, Linux desktop just isn’t ready.

Full disclosure: I am an IT admin with near 3 decades of experience, including administrating linux servers, so this isn’t a skill gap.

If they really understood the phrase ‘too many cooks spoil the soup’, then they’d realize the advantage of smaller online communities.

Reddit was at its best when it had a low count but engaged userbase, and became actively worse as it grew.

I think this is because trolling and response isn’t a 1 to 1 ratio. All it takes is 1 toxic person to make an entire subforum rancid and takes the effort of several mods to mitigate it.

The more people you have, the more chance you will have these trolls organize, the more likely they will either overwhelm or infiltrate the mods.

And D&D and ICP and so many other things wonderful to me

They rail and they rally and burn books you see

“We must protect kids in the Land of the Free”

Most nights I fall asleep wondering what a world where most people were like that would look like.

A shitton better than the one we have I’ll say that right now.

As a progressive Christian who hates everything MTG stands for, this is kind of disheartening to hear…

Compared to America, most conservative German politicians are damn near moderates.

I know for a fact that they would be called ‘damn libruhls’ by nearly every republicunt they shared their policy ideals with.

Starting to think you are a chatbot. You echo certain phrases in the way that only LLMs really do. Pushing certain propaganda points.

Except I’m not the windowlicker that said:

No actually, that’s not what the conversation was about at all.

You don’t have an intellectually honest bone in your body and I left reddit to get away from people like you.

The anti-zionists I know are not antisemitic, and I have not seen them be antisemitic.

Pretty interesting how blind you are to your own confirmation bias.

Since I’m in a bad mood, I’ll point it out to you.

If you are not antisemitic, likely you do not tolerate being around antisemitic people. Therefore the anti-zionists you know are not antisemitic.

I, on the other hand, was born in the state of drunken alligator fights and hookworm, where 60% of the population is antisemitic AND anti-zionist, so I have seen it many, many times.

but I almost never see people do this.

Then you should learn to appreciate the fact you don’t live in the middle of the deep south and the culture that surrounds you is a lot more sane and reasonable than a good chunk of the nation actually is.

For example, the ‘Jewish space laser’ conspiracy theory is BOTH antisemitic and anti-zionist.

Only took a few months and the trolls are already here. Your sockpuppetry has been reported

And who the fuck declared you the King of Conversation in this thread?

I literally haven’t, but you want to make the discussion look that way.

I’m not the troll here.
