Pfft. Not even going to be the hottest this year.

Hottest Summer 2: Australian Boogaloo

This isn’t far from reality. Spez has his head so far up Elon’s arse he’s wearing his face.

It’s been hard to tell because reddit isn’t releasing user retention statistics that are easy to find for other social media sites (minutes per user per day), also due to vote obfuscation it can be difficult to know from vote counts because they could just manipulate the bias.

There’s also a lot of established communities around media/internet personalities that are largely unaffected by the changes and unlikely to move without significant fan pressure.

But people go where the content is, last time I checked the top 5 posts on Reddit were under 30k votes and were all tiktoks. That tells me that the content creators and the progressive adaptors have all moved on already, the rest is attrition over time as the service and content continues to stagnate.

The one thing reddit has propping it up artificially is it’s remaining position as a valuable information resource particularly for niche topics and especially while the fediverse doesn’t get boosted in seo yet.

Poes law. This isn’t Internet 101. Catch up.

That’s like saying Digg isn’t dead because the website is still there. But what was once the front page of the Internet is a forgotten footnote that now stands as a bot content farm. Reddit will go the same way.

No, redact your data, get banned and still request your data every 30 days under GDPR (just submitted my 3rd).

A benevolent idiot is better than a malicious ignorant.

I prefer my AI tools to not intellectually disingenuously self censor. I feel like I’m in the minority but language models that are explicitly forced to avoid using certain language don’t seem like effective language tools.

Non offensive words can be used offensively and offensive words can be used inoffensively, but they won’t let the language models learn the difference.

Edit: Not to mention the outright blocking of legitimate offensive language. When a language model isn’t allowed to say ‘fuck nazis’ well that’s not a language model that I agree with nor is it one representative of legitimate human language.

All his shit got deleted and he still has more than you do in your head.

Somebody never played on a Wii.

The same place they forced him to buy NFT’s obviously.

Google is a corporation, not a person.

Not in America.

Flat earth started as a meme, the village idiots saw a messiah, flat earth was their jesus in the toast moment and they took the bait.

To be fair, it’s like playing billiards with a rope for a cue, in 3 dimensions, in zero gravity, with rocks for balls, and a coke can for the white, and the balls are moving.

I’m surprised they even hit it, give them a few years before you start expecting them to do trickshots.

Then there won’t be anything to say to them about it will there.

You’re right. Sorry.

I’m not rude to anybody who isn’t rude first.

But if someone is going to act like a braindead mouthpiece for a corporation then I will tell them why they’re wrong.

I never said be mean to staff, or rude. And you can’t point out where I have because it didn’t happen. You can still tell staff that insist on telling you that regulators are the cause of e-waste to inform themselves of their corporations decisions and how they sound parroting lies.

She has a boss doesn’t she? You act like there isn’t a chain of command like she can’t go to her manager and refuse to be a corporate shill.

Yep, the e-waste conversation is bullshit apple propaganda because they aren’t happy about playing nice with competitors and losing proprietary control of their connectors despite it being the same e-waste as if they were upgrading from or to any other standard.

But not USB as a standard it doesn’t. They still chose proprietary over standard because wankers.
