Corpo scum are allergic to saying exactly what they mean, so they insist on hiding their intent behind flowery words that sound “good” to them. I guess they think that if they use weasel words, it’ll soften the blow when they decide to strip out features and further destroy their platforms.
It’s not an allergy, it’s hiding punches. It’s concealing the fact that they’re fucking you in the ass by telling you it’s just a penis-based prostate exam, and that you’re the one being weird. It’s gaslighting.
It’s one of the things I hate most in our capitalist dystopia.
This made me realize I spend too much of my life reading and writing trash corporate speak because I breezed past most of this as yup, seems normal lol.
It feels forced and inauthentic. For a little while posts seemed like they followed a template and to be honest many of them were just embarrassing that an adult posted them.
I am pretty upset that they are removing awards from past posts because I’ve given out 455 golds, 125 platinum, and 200 community awards and now those posts won’t carry those badges anymore. I just don’t understand that.
Also, are you the same person that created the Fast Report Userscript for reddit? It was a godsend for the 9 months or so that I was aware of it. I created a ban bot for which that tool was an essential part of the workflow. Anyway, that’s all over now. Lemmy’s API looks to be much , much easier to work with than reddit’s so I haven’t found any roadblocks whatsoever to moving my entire presence here so that is my current plan.
I’m an 11 year user, but I don’t see myself using the site much longer, or if I do, continuing in the same way that I used to. I’ve modded probably 150 or more different subs in my time. All good things must end.
thanks for posting here. I have no idea who the venkman01 is but the way they worded that post is borderline cringe
Yeah, “sunsetting” is such trash corporate speak.

The best way to exploit people is with a silver tongue.
Also he is using it wrong because “sunsetting” means a slow winding down. You know, because the sun doesn’t instantly turn off.
But they basically literally just suddenly turned off gold today, without any pre warning.
They have basically sent a message to everyone telling them they’ve already done it.

I’m so sorry. You should spend more time here, where everyone uses language in a completely classy, sublime, and not-at-all-ungrammatical-ever way.
Yeah, next they’ll say it’s time to ‘say goodbye’ to awards. thanks, I’m 6
That means it’ll come back soon, right?
Right, Anakin?
Official reddit posts are always cringey. They unironically call people “Snoos”.
Gesundheit?
Anyways, who has time and energy to read such a dumb, way too long post?
Danke!
I will say one thing. At least he didn’t use a cringe gif in the post.
What, you don’t like 3 gifs per line?

How can you see how many awards youve given out on Reddit?
It’s on your profile page on old reddit.
Yup, that’s me. I’ve got some lemmy scripts in the works too. Here’s one that sets your language automatically when posting, and let’s you use command enter to post on a Mac
Fast report has been updated, removing the botdefense 1 click submit. Funny thing is, I wrote fast reports to make using a bot on rAndroid easier

Of course it’s cringe. Wankman can’t even spell his own username correctly.
