I think that the worst part is the ones that make repairable tech are so much smaller than you are paying top end prices for rather middle of the road performance. This is not true of them all of course but it is hard to look at the fairphone 5 and think it is worth it over a cheap secondhand/refurbished flagship from the previous generation.

The power users are the content of reddit. If the power users leave reddit losses its appeal.

The thing that got me to finally switch and not even look at reddit anymore was when any content that was even slightly political had more shadow banned comments than those that were not.

Its so much easier to jump ship to another ship than a whole other platform though. on top of that the instances rely on community support to run past a certain size.

I was actually surprised how “cheap” they are to rent.

They make shit up fucking constantly. If I have to google if the answer I was given was right I might as well cut out the middle man and just google it myself. If I can’t understand it at that point maybe ask the LLM to rephrase the answer.

tbf if you go looking for it you can find it on any service because people post it everywhere for some reason. Its actually really suprising how I haven’t come across any on lemmy (im sure its here somewhere ive just never seen it).

The real problem is algorithms picking up on negative interactions and showing it to more people based on that.

Yeah I really don’t like that this is probably going to end up being used to argue that deepfake porn of public figures is ok as long as it is “satire”.

I don’t really care about the Trump x Musk one but I know for a fact that this will lead to MAGAs doing the same shit to AOC and any other prominent woman on the democrat side.

They can’t control all the instances. I think that if they tried that with the one that I am on they would be laughed at.

Way easier for a company to make its own reddit and censor any post that talks about why you should probably start to look at moving your data before they are quietly asked to hand over all the data they have.

Fuck the greens. They were note concerned with keeping kamala out than minimizing harm to voters.

The recent Trump is going to hurt his voters video is pretty good.

I have all of his books in physical format. Would recommend.

I just don’t get how you can be a nazi and be ok with yourself. I can kinda understand how someone ends up an alt-right weirdo thinking that minorities are inferior but nazism is THE bad guy in so much media. Its like admitting that you kick puppies so hilariously evil that most people would think you were joking if you expressed that kind of mindset.

I was super active in drama subs because I am a drama whore at heart. I knew how to just farm karma on them. Lukewarm take with just enough ability to be disageed with that the “bad” people will interact driving up the interactions.

karma makes reddit worse. Up/downvotes are great but overall account karma is fucking terrible.

Wow you really sound a lot like 4547
