Be honest, do you still use reddit?

I used to check the front page at least once every day, and occassionally check specific subreddits. Now I don’t look at reddit unless theres some drama, like mods getting purged, then I’d go there and enjoy the drama. Occasionally there will be questions that only reddit has the answer to so I have to reluctantly use it. I...

cashews_best_nut,

Nope, in fact after trying the super delete Suite (failed) I’m creating my own userscript to delete all my old comments. Once it’s finished later today I’ll post about it on Lemmy for others to use.

15yr old account dead and banned. The only time I check out Reddit is to look at the Western Europeans taking the piss out of each other on 2westerneuropean4u.

cashews_best_nut,

I’ve read all your replies and you conviniently dodged two people making comments regarding homosexuality. Which only made me more curious:

What’s your opinion on gay people and gay marriage?

P.S. I never downvote people. Though I’m guessing by your reticence you may get downvoted for replying to me. I urge you to reply though because I’m curious and ask in good faith.

cashews_best_nut,

I can answer your question: When the Boomers are gone the Millenials will be called “Boomers” and blamed instead.

I dropped into a European Discord server a while back and got called a Boomer when I mentioned my age (40). I’m a Millennial. Apparently the server was full of 16-19yr old kids so I wasn’t made to feel very welcome. Not been back since.

But Millenials will most likely take the hit when Boomers are gone except the term “Boomer” is now just a generic insult against people in middle age+.

I too, was fucked by a trumped up charge. Perma-banned by IP so any new account I setup without a VPN gets banned.

My main account (16yo, “Charter Member”) got a subreddit ban. It was reversed a few weeks later by a mod. Then the original mod re-banned me and said “no ban evasion allowed”. Then Reddit banned me for evading a ban.

I didn’t evade anything. I was allowed to post during a short period!

cashews_best_nut,

Mod tools only became necessary when communities became larger. I’m sure you’ll be fine with what’s available when most communities start off small. Hell the Star wars prequel/sequel memes subs actually combined into one sub to keep their communities big enough to survive off Reddit and they’re doing just fine.

cashews_best_nut,

Have you ever been caught by Czech Hunter?

cashews_best_nut,

Falklands.

cashews_best_nut,

Don’t feel too bad. My mum discovered my cousin was shitting himself regularly when he visted our home. I never noticed but my mum told my auntie “Your son is shitting himself every time he comes round. Sort it out”.

Cue a few days later his mum comes round midday when we’re gaming and takes him into the bathroom before bursting out and shouting - “BRING CARRIER BAGS AND A TOWEL!”

I never did find out why he was shitting himself.

cashews_best_nut,

He’s Norwegian.

cashews_best_nut,

codewars.com is great if you’re into coding puzzles. It has them in just about every language imagineable. I’m amazed it’s not more well-known cos it’s a great site.

cashews_best_nut,

I don’t think I’ve seen pumpkin spice in the UK. Though I don’t get out much cos I have no friends.

cashews_best_nut,

Until I read these comments I thought the “white” was about snow due to my associating this with Christmas. It was very confusing and annoying cos Xmas is months away until I revisited this thread and realised.

cashews_best_nut,

I used to get the piss taken out of me for having eclectic music taste. Fuck people. Like what you like. Ignore the haters.

You’ll find this MUCH easier the older you get.

btw I’d never heard of AJR but I like them. 👍

cashews_best_nut,

In my day 30fps in Unreal Tournament was considered reasonable.

I stick to the original “Reddiquette” which I wish more people stuck to or even fucking READ for a start.

Downvotes were meant for off-topic and spam nonsense. They were NEVER meant for disagreement. If you disagreed with someone you were encouraged to comment in response. It fostered a much better and interesting community with people of differeing views not afraid to voice their dissent.

You would literally get right and left-wingers having heated but civil debates with each other and neither would be getting heavily downvoted. Can you imagine that happening on Reddit nowadays?

When Diggers and the general populace jumped on Reddit downvotes just turned into a spiteful and underhanded way of saying “Fuck your opinion and I don’t feel like justifying it”.

This resulted in echo chambers where people were too afraid to voice their true opinions cos they’d get downvoted and at worst banned from the subreddit by over-zealous mods who’d forgotten what downvotes were for.

I have a personal theory that this accelerated the polarisation of politics across the English-speaking world. Maybe if Republicans* didn’t get so heavily downvoted they wouldn’t have turned to places like The_Donald and 8chan to vent in like-minded echo chambers. They could discuss things without getting villified and have their views challenged in a civil manner.

*NB. Shouldn’t matter but to be clear I’m a left wing Brit. I’m just using Donald Trump/Democrats as a will known divisive issue.

I LOVE Lemmy because it has the oldschool Reddit vibe where people will disagree and neither person is downvoting the other. They just have civil discussion. Much better!!

Personally I NEVER downvote unless it’s utterly meaningless, pointless or just downright spam. I recently added one more trigger for me to downvote though: Low effort bullshit like “This” or puns that add ntohing to the conversation except to garner upvotes for their ‘comedic’ value.

cashews_best_nut,

Aww shucks, thanks. I’m actually 40 but people say I look younger since I went on a diet.

cashews_best_nut,

Hob Nobs are top tier. 🤌

cashews_best_nut,

As long as they keep the Swamp Germans out I’m all for it.

cashews_best_nut,

Oh shit! They heard me.
