I don’t think Reddit is user-centric enough for deplatforming to be useful.

For the most part it is how it plays out.
There may be exceptions but the benefits far outweigh the downsides.
Even just lurking on mastodon is frustrating because there is nothing to be done about trolls but engage or ignore and we all know folks can’t help but engage; it’s trolls raison d’être.
I generally assume those complaining about downvotes existing are frustrated trolls.
Downvotes were one of my favorite features of Reddit.
Some stupid shit doesn’t deserve discussion and is best off being shut down.
Most of my wish list have nothing to do with safety because I’m a straight cis white guy and so my experience of Mastodon is that its userbase is painfully anodyne.
This sounds so backwards to me. Do you know how you could create an environment for a less painfully anodyne userbase?
I actually agree. I would cite the Playdate as a counterexample.
Huh - so it turns out people liked how smartphones consolidated all their various devices into one?
I guess the era of the hardware app is over…
To be honest, I’d rather have the lorum ipsum than the AI generated trash that’s gotten so prolific.
This way I can tell it’s BS immediately instead of 2-4 sentences in.

Turns out the beds are filled with the discarded shells from shucking peas. This is Pod Racing…
You could very well make the argument that ultimately crypto is backed by energy
Crypto is just evidence energy was used. It’s not stored energy.
They’re pretty hard. I wouldn’t want to try to bite through a double thick one personally.
It actually stands for John as in Don’s Johns
Which is weird because in 2016 he was the Pee Pee golden shower candidate and in 2024 he’s the Poopy Nappy candidate.
What are the odds than anyone in the household searched for the shows? Targeting ads to all devices on the same IP or even devices that have previously been on the same network happens.
I was able to predict that my mom had been researching “bunion shoes” after I started seeing ads, seemingly randomly, for them not long after she came to my house to visit.
You can also just long press a volume button with the lock button (with a FaceID phone). I find this harder to mess up under stress.
It’s the opposite of what I said. I almost edited to correct it twice but both times I decided it wasn’t that important 😅
What do you mean by “the scrolled”?
Weird. My state blocks pornhub, but not this. Is the media rehosted somewhere else?
You linked to the original Mechanical Turk. Perhaps you already know this but Amazon actually runs an Mechanical Turk service:
They’re just leaning really hard into the “Escapism” theme.
The question is why is the theme escapism?
Ok.
But in regards to downvoting comments that’s not relevant.
