Oh good another reddit knock off site.

 

[Seafarer]

the founder himself became a lolcow loser who somehow managed to miss every bubble of the internet despite being almost at the center of it for many years and ended up commiting sudoku with a shotgun.

Erm… I’ll have you know that Richard “Mangosteen” Kyanka committed irl ragequit with an overpriced FN Five-seven meme pistol:

Checkmate CHUD. EAT THAT FACT CHECK NIGGER

 

[Drama Fan]

Oh good another reddit knock off site.

They didn't even have the decency to launch yet. I think he's hoping to gain a userbase off of a (not) viral tweet.
It's a bit sad.

>the reddit CEO is a good dude

No he fucking isn't how in the name of fuck do you want to try and make a "better reddit" if you can't even call Spez a cunt for ruining reddit? Amazing even for redditors this is a special level of stupid and retarded.

I think it may be lingering "respect" because Spez (Huffman) was from Reddit at the start. I would imagine that the good parts of Reddit are when Swartz joined the company before he was fired a year later and TPTB had him crucified.

Besides, what made Reddit interesting in the first place was the independent content stolen aggregated on Reddit, to find interesting new places and things and people. Thinking that Reddit is the interesting place with cool people means you are mentally ill and need to be put to sleep.

Commenting as someone who wasn't on the Farms a while but watching as an amused third party, it's been interesting seeing - relatively-speaking, of course - normies comment on how aggravating losing reddit answers to some google question was, but more importantly, questioning why everyone let the internet become so damn centralized. Up to and even including the power tranny jannies ruling the roost at reddit. I never expected to see the slightest of calls demanding people do everything from start building more personal websites or forums to getting stuff disconnected from the internet in general, but I have, and it's a slight bloom of hope maybe society can get slightly unfucked from being terminally online for so long.

Unquestionably the internet became more centralized, but isn't it less about the number of websites and more a function of the entire human population gradually becoming internet users?

It's the year 2000 and you want to talk about Final Fantasy. Some guy has made a Final Fantasy forum with 400 active users. Great! You go talk about Final Fantasy. You use it all the time and the site grows a bit. It feels pretty lively to you, because there are lots of sites with smaller userbases and less content.

These days, 400 users is considered a dead site. r/FFXVI alone has 20k members and the game isn't even out yet. However...those little 400 user forums still exist, somewhere out there in the aether. You just can't be arsed to go find them and actually use them, because discussion pace is slow and content quality/quantity is low. You can't get your questions answered as quickly as on reddit, and you are impatient. And why waste your time on a tiny forum where the things you say are only seen by a few people? It feels better when your epic meme makes 100,000 people laugh instead of a few dozen.

The fact that there are tons more people online now has changed the relative value of that same site that still exists. What you want as an ideal of a decentralized internet is for that site to have developed the size and cachet of a subreddit, but it was never going to have that, because it wasn't created to seek profit, isn't managed for growth and visibility, and you have to go out of your way to find it like a savvy netizen from the '90s. The fact is, that small internet no longer satisfies anyone who isn't an aging boomer with a sentimental attachment to their little community of 20+ years. And anyone who isn't an aging boomer is too lazy to sign up for an individual site when their reddit and discord accounts work on all the communities they would ever want to visit.

Ooh, bad fucking luck!
It must have sucked to get bit by one of the original rapey trans-lesbians. Remember when that was a punchline and not the natural endpoint of a bunch of creepy insecure nerds?

I remember when I found out that the only guy who had ever done art and written fiction for his game (the Rhygar series) had trooned out completely. Multiple books, blog, the works. The slow-building realization that he wasn't kidding or trolling as I paged between the Internet Archive and the present with my jaw dropped in legitimate horror.

A part of my soul crumbled to dust that day. It was like finding out that John Wayne had become a member of the Communist Party in his elder years.

 

[Xarpho's Return]

I've burned through dozens of accounts I used for talking about gaming, niche interests (ZZT programmers unite), getting technical answers, discussing vaccine truths, etc.

Remember when actual trolls got banned? But now you make one post challenging the narrative - ONE - on anywhere that isn't a dedicated controlled-opposition sub and you're banned in an instant. Tell one brigading faggot "lol you're so weak you couldn't given yourself a black eye" and you're perma'd after years for 'making threats' to some 90 pound mommy's boy keyboard warrior.

I watched /r/WatchRedditDie declare mission complete and fold up shop because the entire place had turned into such a libtard basement-Communist cesspit. I commiserated in the DM's with genuine friends as MGTOW and Braincels got run off for daring to call out sluts, feminazis and single 'mothers' and questioning the clot-shot was forcibly relegated to /r/conspiracy.

I'm gonna miss old Reddit. But the Spez-ial Ed Exodus is long overdue even with the apparent lack of drop-in replacements. Hell - bring back the dedicated forums of the 90's and early 2000's.

I don't know how many are left, but you could probably divide Reddit into "real communities" and "fake communities". The "fake" ones are all batch-moderated by the same tranny jannies (a small number of people mod a large number of seemingly-unrelated, popular or semi-popular subreddits), while the "real" ones could probably strike out on their own as an independent forum.

Convenience is the death of the normie, the normie will put up with all sorts of abuse, censorship and other fuckery before they choose to be even mildly inconvenienced by for example having to have accounts in different sites or not being able to simply install an app in their phones to do anything.

You wouldn't believe the amount of people who hadnt even try chatGPT until the official app launched. Something this big you would asume they would be able to get off their asses and check the website but nope, too inconvenient.

Total Normie Death"

Thought it was "total nigger death" and didn't know what the P was.

Too many acronyms these days.

JFC how can you openly use that avatar?

Admins would just reverse it.

IIRC there are scripts to completely nuke your reddit account by overwriting your posts over and over with gibberish so that they cannot be undeleted because the reddit system only keeps a very finite number of edits on memory, so you end up deleting the original.

Unless they patched that I don't see why these powerjannies couldn't do that, but they probably don't have the balls to pull it off. And in some cases reddit might have them by the balls with proof of some very illegal shit they have posted in the past, like bardfinn and his CP.

I assume every time a new game comes out that isn't triple-A, its brand new subreddit could be considered a real community, because how often do tranny jannies swoop in on those? Or situations where building contraptions in the new Zelda is fun enough that some rando creates r/HyruleEngineering and it takes off.

I've never jannied reddit, I wonder if behind the scenes they tend to get "helpful" humble requests from powermods to join the team?

And as usual, this troon (I assume anyone with a pfp like that is some kind of groomer troon) doesn't understand the pardon power anyway. The President can't pardon state crimes, just the federal (like the "espionage" case).

You called it. Dug a few pages through their posting history and it was stereotypically troony
Obsession with identity politics?
Posting in multiple anime subs?
Weird fixation on autistic building games?
Love of board games only neck beard men play?

The funniest part was reading a post in some fringe political sub followed up by some anime shit.

These are the people who campaign against the death penalty and euthanasia for niggers and criminals. Look at that, looks nice.

Yes, they could do that, but that would only apply to posts and comments made by the jannies themselves, as well as the 0.0001% of ledditors who actually bother to join them in that act of protest.

Anyway, does anyone know how much less the scab jannies are getting paid? 90%? 85%? Surely they wouldn't agree to it for anything less than 80%.

90% of doing it for free is still doing it for free.

If reddit dies, the internet will become much poorer for it. It's almost impossible to search for anything without appending "reddit" at the end of it because the internet has become so shit and streamlined.

This is what is so sad about this situation. It's not that reddit is good, it's that the internet is so bad. If I want to search for how to repair a fuel filter on a particular motorcycle from 2005, it used to be easy. First, there were forums. Now they've died. Then, there was google and other search engines. Now they're nothing but scammy nonsense sites using bullshit SEO to get to the top and doing nothing but repeating the question 15 times with bot-generated text. Finally, there was youtube- which was surprisingly useful for awhile. Then the fucks wrecked their own product to make it impossible to find what you want because that would mean less time spent on youtube. I guess there's still some esoteric forums for tech issues but it's a crapshoot whether you actually get a good response.

Searching via "reddit" still tends to get the results you're looking for but I guess that's only because some paj hasn't yet figured out how to spam shitty TTS videos to the top of every subreddit. Only a matter of time, though.

a lot of classical tech still has forums. Windows has a forum for every version Linux has it's own forums (but the ubuntu forums are strict) there's gbatemp, xda, zeldadungeon, etc. The macstack forum became a Mastodon server, but it hardly got traffic anyways.

I don't think it's a coup d'etat if the people in charge are the ones doing it.
Also, I hope the admins get their way. Redditors have always represented the wrong end of the Internet spectrum and their suffering is based, regardless of context.

The protest is over so I can use google once again.

Google crippled their own searches to cater to advertisers and political factions. Their reverse image engine which was fairly good is now close to useless with the later actualizations. Google lens will o ly lead to amazon or chinese stores, it will prioritize leading you to product and only throw a minimum amount of results compared to before.

As funny as the total janny death is the replacement is even worse. The only thing more terrible than an internet moderates by trannies is an internet moderated by AI coded by trannies. The jannies will now be full on terminators.
