  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.

I can't agree more. It even happens to companies who are part of Silicon Valley - Google and Twitter are deactivated and deleting the data of inactive accounts. If I recall correctly Facebook deletes the messages of those profiles whose families flag as being passed on, so you can't even reminisce on past conversations with them. Can you imagine if YouTube announced that they are deleting videos past a certain age or doesn't meet a view count threshold? I recall reading on some substack that people die three times: when you pass, when your name is last spoken, and when your internet content is wiped from company databases.
Shit on redditors all you want, but if I have a niche issue with a product I can always count on a 2-5 year old thread having the solution that I need. If I want honest reviews on a product I go to reddit and check out the user profiles to ensure theyre not bots. Completed don't care about retaining data or preserving the internet. They care about profit and obtaining new users. They'll gladly make space for those new users.

The best thing that could happen is reddit not only fires the tranny jannies, but replaces them with AI moderation. Imagine the sheer level of coping, seething and dilating.

Like Facebook? 🤢

Yeah it's true but none of this could have been done if the Jannies hadn't been such loyal footsoldiers.

Which is why you should hate both. I'm getting the feeling that some of you kind of like reddit as a platform and want to think these mods just usurped power from the site, but that's simply not true and gives reddit way more credit for being real and organic than it deserves.

What we need is reddit to utterly fail. I want these protests to continue, and I want spaz to likewise hit the gas pedal on this stupid API move. Cheering on the admins' actions, however stupid, because it makes the mods mad is dumb when instead you should be helping inflame tensions. We need reddit to fall like digg did, and then hopefully the non-perverts can establish themselves on the next site. Reddit is too far gone. Maybe you enjoyed the site at one time, but we need something new now. Reddit is a propaganda mill and no amount of love for your little hobbyist sub is going to change that.

Also, you guys are just plain wrong. All the really bad tranny-run subs are hand-in-hand with the admins. AgainstHateSubreddits, WhitePeopleTwitter, etc, all the others, aren't blacking out. It's literally all the hobbyist subs and special interest subs. Not completely the same group of people. Pay attention, the tranny jannies are fucking in on it. Who do you thing spez chats with on private Slack backchannals? Not the moderator of /r/figs, that's for sure. Oh wait, that's yet another Bardfinn sub, I'm wrong about that. All of BardsFinn's subs are not blacked out. Merari01's... etc. You still have faggy subs participating, but the absolute worst cancer coordinates with the admins. And we know they do. We've actually known for a long time the powermods chat together with the admins. It's a clique.

What kind of odds do you give on the next reddit alternative not being pozzed?

"We need reddit to burn down and a new site to take its place," sure. Does anyone have the balls to say "yeah, we should make a site that earnestly prioritizes freedom of speech?" Especially when globohomo has corrupted that statement into a declaration of partisan affiliation, which tends to negatively influence the burgeoning userbase?

Very little, but the odds are better than whatever the admins are trying to turn reddit into. Honestly, there's a cycle to this shit. And maybe with the changes coming with Youtube and elsewhere, a bubble is popping; it seems that these websites run on hype and venture capital bucks until they become the big thing, stay in the red, and either IPO or change their business model to actually be profitable, and like Digg and Myspace become unusable overnight. I think reddit's admins realized that no matter how much they tried to not Digg themselves into a grave, there just isn't a real path to profitability in a mainstream, traditional social media / aggregator website like Reddit. I think they (spez, etc) want to wash their hands of it soon and move on to something that isn't a dead dog.

Remove all the mods from reddit and it doesn't change the fact that you still have reddit's admins there that believe all the same shit their users do.

So the Reddit mods have no hand. Will any of them try to spin up an alternative? Voat? Discourse? PGP-encrypted mailing lists? World chat in a private World of Warcraft server? Anything? Because all I'm seeing is pre-seething when they all come crawling back.

They should just log off forever and touch grass, as the kids say today.

But that would require change and introspection from redditors, so that will never happen.

However let me take a break from insisting on how bad the admins are to emphasis the other point: it's true the mods are faggy cancer.

Furthermore I caught something that it seems like everyone missed in the BardFinn thread.

1686705797307.png1686705855509.png

I don't know who most of these fags are, but something stood right out to me. In the first photo, left middle tranny and the closest leftmost one in the second, is actually deceased mod T_Dumbsford AKA Matthew ("Melinda") Brown who literally died from taking HRT pills (heart failure was caused by HRT complications which is why the originally "bigoted" doc refused to prescribe them), and that isn't Kiwifarms exaggeration, that's literally what happened. He lived in North Carolina. It's no surprise to see that fag with BardFinn, since he likewise was a deadbeat father, and I think Bardfinn actually convinced them to go trans. However, Bardfinn lives in TX. That means these people flew in somewhere to meet each other. Maybe you guys know the story of these photos, but I don't, but I think these are powermods all getting together. Look at this photo and take it in with your eyes, these are the people that reddit thinks ought to decide what you see and hear. These people are close-knit!

They’re not safe either, literally just last week Twitch put out draconian new rules limiting non-Twitch-affiliated on-stream advertising and I believe slashing the profit sharing from 70/30 to 50/50. It doesn’t take a PR genius to foresee that this would go down badly, so I have no doubt that the numbers must be fucking dire.

Like, it’s not so much a matter of “can Amazon afford it” - obviously they can. It’s more, is it worth it to run a service that will NEVER be profitable when we can just make more money renting out the AWS servers that Twitch currently takes up? Every massive corporation has wasted millions of dollars on a dud before, but Amazon didn’t get to the position it’s currently in by perpetually maintaining a failing product.

Spaghetti code and no one currently working there understands what is really going on. I especially hate the java spinner that comes up whenever I try to load the site on my phone.

I imagine the reason the official app is such shit is that there is no one with talent working at reddit. They just expect everyone to funnel content into their precariously placed dumpster.

Are you telling me that this guy isn't oozing talent?
