I know this isn’t the most disturbing Wiki article out there, but this is the creepiest one I know of that I can stomach. Also, it’s an interesting case, despite its morbid and eerie nature.
I also have recently left Reddit. And I am all for blocking content that contains hate speech. Allowing fascist content to take root is unacceptable.
Same here. What’s this, I can binge post AND feel good about it? Hehehe
I know. Me too. It fucking sucks that we don’t see larger, more consistent examples of unity over issues like this. Part of me is grateful for the amount of people that did port over, and part of me is mad at that grateful part, thinking that I should–we should–be able to expect more. And part of me wants to take the victories that I can. It’s not a simple issue, so I’m trying to hold on to the faith that I have left that we’ll figure all of this shit out and do what I can in the meantime.
All very good points! So yeah, I’m taking what victories I can, in this case my victories are having found the Fediverse and no longer being on reddit ☺️
Precisely how I feel on it. Would it have been magical if the protest resulted in every last user leaving reddit behind for better alternatives? Of course. But that was never something I thought was likely. However, it’s caused a lot of us who were already unhappy to leave and come over to the Fediverse, and I do think that’s a success.
Hi and thank you! Happy to have made the switch 😸
Yup. I can’t do the discourse either. I know that a small percentage could be talked into a more reasonable perspective, but I don’t have the energy any more to play guess who with the ones who will benefit from discussions in good faith, and the ones who are just trying to use their hate to whittle me down. The people that hard drank the koolaid can’t be reasoned with–they cherry pick their own rulebook. Ya think Jesus as he’s depicted would approve of the shit they’re doing? What happened to love thy neighbor, or take the log out of thine own eye first, or not throwing stones in glass houses? Hell, what about not wearing mixed fibers, or eating the wrong kinds of foods? The ‘only for thee and not for me’ attitude is just…ugh
Well, yeah–the Tr*mpies are professional hypocrites. The cognitive dissonance never ceases to amaze me
Probably not, unfortunately
When are they gonna learn that freedom of religion doesn’t just apply to them?
Oh, but what am I talking about. Learn, them? Ha.
GatDAHM Jamie, what you doing all cheeked up on a Sunday afternoon? 🥵
Ultimately, that’s up to you to decide ofc.
Personally, spez’s decisions have turned me off of it entirely and I’ve decided to hard close that door. I’m not going back. I’ve had more fun on kbin in the ~24 hours I’ve been here than I ever did on reddit, and I can feel better about where I’m putting my time, energy, and engagement.
Howdy! Yeah, I think I’m settling in well. So far I’ve added a few regulars; Cats, oddlysatisfying, wholesome, etc. Run of the mill stuff. Any suggestions for must haves?
You do you, personally, I don’t want to give that site any more traffic
Thank you! Good to be here 👍
Ohhhh, that makes sense. Thanks for the info. I looked at the article again just now and realized it looks a lot different from how I remember, so possibly there’s more info on there now than when I had last looked at it.
I’ll be honest, I’m a little sad I can no longer chalk it up to aliens or a weird cryptid 😅
