I laughed audibly at this instead of the usual small ‘heh’. This is a good one.

I am not a politically-minded person. All these names and legalese questions and policies confuse and bore me.

I voted for Harris yesterday. If I can gather the willpower to vote Harris and help a prosecutor stop a felon from becoming a king, all of you other not-normally-voter types can do it.

We can do it, people!

If you’ve played it before, it has the same feel imo.

There’s new lands, more QoL, new pals. Nothing drastic I’ve noticed from its release state.

Think Minecraft and then Minecraft after like 3-4 updates.

I gave you some from a girl to help balance things out!

But I can promise you, from many years net positive on reddit and a not disimilar result here, that you’re not reading your own tone.

Be mindful of the tone, only come off as combative against a near universally disliked topic, and know when you don’t care to curate yourself and are ready for the downvotes.

Your wording here makes you out to be combative, and people are combative in response. Read your own comments as if they’re directed AT you. And look specifically at what’s likely to make you want to argue back. You may even be surprised at what can get net positive response with the right wording.

This is what I use. Good to hear it’s not depreciated on more modern versions of the OS that my ol’ 6S Plus isn’t able to run.

Was on Voyager until it updated past my old OS. Current version of Voyager no longer supports my old 6S Plus.

So now I’m on Thunder. It works. I liked Voyager better, but I won’t complain about an app that still works on my phone.

They cannot make me download their shit app, and when old.reddit dies then that’s when I stop going even my current once a month.

“We are selective about who we work with and trust with large-scale access to Reddit content.”

Sells everyone’s contributions to Google while blocking lesser evils

I’ll trash on greedy Steve Huffman any day.

But in this particular case, we really need everyone we can get. If Reddit helps convince more people to vote (for Biden), then so be it.

Not a time to be picky about allies. Not when Trump has a good chance to become effectively the King of the USA.

ITT people not recognizing that there’s a difference between comparing and equating.

People, it’s possible to make analogies to more serious situations without saying the two things are equal. The statement above is saying it’s there’s a shared mentality, not a shared level of consequence/seriousness.

Same here. Discord members posting teddit links and one person trying to grow a niche subreddit while I refuse to give Steve Huffman any more free human generated content.

Vegans simply existing make people feel uncomfortable, so defense mechanisms in the brain trigger.

Since it’s an ethical stance, and people at least deep down know that killing innocent animals for 5 minutes of taste pleasure is wrong, but they don’t want to change themselves.

So the brain tries to rationalize how it’s definitely not wrong and really the vegan is wrong, and/or demonize the position to shield itself from the discomfort of knowing.

Basically psychological defenses kick in to defend unethical behavior that someone highlights by simply existing.

Making info on Reddit useless to real humans is the main reason I need to set aside time to do this.

I really don’t care if AI trains off of what I’ve said. I do care that greedy greedy Steve Huffman killed 3rd party apps for it.

If Reddit’s use for searching obscure stuff goes away, there goes the biggest draw of the site. Get people going elsewhere. Like here!

Individual instances and frontends might have something to do with it. People saying they see a ton of NSFW and have to block so many communities, but at sh.itjust.works on Voyager I haven’t seen any of that.

It’s simultaneously open yet curated at the same time and that’s pretty neat!

I took the only multi-viewed comment I remember making and moved it here.

Had one comment people kept digging up YEARS after I made it, copypasta’d it to Lemmy and edited original comments to redirect here.

If more people would migrate info they’ve shared like that it would be nice.

This is a downside. I mainly was on a couple specific video game subs and some small branch subs of broader communities.

I have fallen back about once a month.

Wow just calling me out here smh.

Don’t know my exact age and can’t check as I post this because I refuse to visit reddit on my phone via anything but Apollo. But I’m pretty sure I’m 10+.

I do miss it. Once a month or so I’ll go peek at a couple smaller communities/game communities I was in that don’t have a Lemmy equivalent yet.

But I don’t comment anymore. I canceled my reddit premium the moment Apollo mentioned shut down. And I learned how to use the stronger mode of uBlock Origin to ensure they get as little from me as possible.

The site as I see it os shattered and barely functional. I can let what I’m used to shine through when I really want to by enabling certain domains to pass through uBlock Origin and NoScript. But tbh the shattered state is kind of fittingly metaphorical.

That reminds me of a generational difference I heard about where when someone says “Thank you”, the older generation will say “you’re welcome”, seeing that they did something worth thanking. But the younger generation feels uncomfortable saying “you’re welcome” and says “no problem” instead, implying it was simply an expected thing for them to do.

I’m in the “no problem” generation. And yeah, saying “you’re welcome” really does just feel weird to me.

I miss it, but I also get to feel like I’ll see it grow all over again, slightly different.

But this time I already know that it’ll become a great place to go find a community for any specific niche in the future.

And this time, an ass CEO idolizing another idiot cannot kill off third party apps with one toxic decision.
