I feel like I understand the existence of this show more when I think about the children who have to see their friends and neighbors murdered by colonists. Even the host herself was injured in a bombing. They were striving to do what every children’s show does: Help children navigate an often difficult and confusing reality.

You pay for water, electricity, maybe a gym membership…

I don’t think you should have to pay for any of this

Any service that is subscription based is dead to me. I’ve reached my breaking point.

They can’t even define it. Remember the author who wrote an entire damn book about wokism, and she couldn’t even define “woke” in a live interview for which she had ample time to prepare.

I’m starting to think their brains are wired differently. They don’t think, they just react to stimuli.

Yeah, but goatse isn’t very wholesome. Let the kid believe :P

It’s alright, but I’m not obsessed with having everything conform to it like some people are

The whole site is bot infested! Especially the large subs, but I’ve personally had scambots pop into my posts even on smaller subreddits.

People who say they won’t leave reddit because “there’s no good alternative” really have their head in the sand about how bad it really is. Nearly every alternative I’ve seen suggested is at least better than reddit (except for the really far-right ones like voat).

This blackout has really shown which subs have actual in-touch moderators, and which ones are just the admins’ puppy dogs

A while ago, I had a comment auto-removed on WPT and got a message it was because my account was “not in good standing.” When I messaged the WPT mods, they explained that they were test piloting a new tool the admins plan to use. For example, if you have a throwaway email address, no email address, or are connecting via VPN, you may be “not in good standing.”

With things like that on the horizon, even if they roll back on what they’re doing now, we’re still not likely to have a very good time on that site.

I can’t blame the mods who are trying to make change through protest (and who may not even be aware of the “not in good standing” BS), but I don’t plan to stick around, and I don’t foresee a very bright future for reddit at all.

I’m here from reddit, and thank you for these recommendations. Time for my neuroplasticity to kick in so I can learn how all this works.
