Die Wehmut um die Atomkraft in Deutschland ist fast so intensiv wie die Wehmut der Lemmings hinsichtlich reddit.

Leider nein.

Relevantes Zitat:

"Positionen gegen die offene Gesellschaft und die liberale Demokratie sind unter AfD-Wählenden jedenfalls sehr weit verbreitet und vor allem stabil. Insofern halte ich den Begriff Protestwähler für komplett verharmlosend. Damit versucht sich die institutionalisierte Politik seit jeher zu beruhigen.

Die Vorstellung, die verloren gegangenen Wähler kämen zurück, wenn man kurz mal die Begriffe der Rechten übernimmt, ist irrig. Jene Mentalitäten, die die Menschen dazu bringen, AfD zu wählen, existierten schon lange vor ihrer Gründung, waren aber parteipolitisch ungebunden. Nun haben sie eine feste Anschlussstelle."

/nextfuckinglevel is so annoying when it gets to /all. Usually it’s some trivial activity that is executed well or someone just doing their job. Nothing “next level” about it at all.

Also any of the large subs that get flooded with fucking TikTok videos. In the beginning everybody pointed out the shitty songs or fake laugh tracks etc, now it seems everyone just gave up and accepted it.

Sounds coherent. Would you say there are any effective tools to counter that problem? I wonder what the central banks can do at the moment, because it seems they are kind of in a deadlock regarding the control of inflation.

Can’t find the package “bullet”, I guess i’ll need to google it. Oh, there are dependencies i need to install first. Can’t find them via apt though. After three hours of googling I find a forum post from 2008 that describes how to compile the dependency yourself. My question in a Linux forum is already locked because there was a similar question in 1997 in which neither of the commands nor software packages or links even exist anymore. I try compiling myself, but it seems i need another piece of software for that. That thing was abandoned in 2012, replaced by another one, then another one in 2018. It doesn’t compile though, no matter what i do. I read somewhere that the whole distribution i use is not up-to-date enough and i need to install a nightly bleeding edge upgrade that contains the needed dependencies. I do. After reboot, my audio doesn’t work anymore, the resolution is 500x133, there is smoke coming from my mouse and coffee pouring out of the buttons of my screen. I decide to use a completely different distribution, because the one i chose was for noob losers anyways. Three hours later, after three failed attempts of installing because seemingly i exhaled in the general direction of the USB-stick while it was written, I manage to install the right boot manager so that my windows partition isn’t lost in the abyss, install the correct drivers for everything, set the keyboard to german three dozen times so i don’t become psychotic when i try to use the terminal, save the princess from the evil lord and provide the village with enough resources that they survive the next winter, i finally open up the terminal to install “bullet”.

There are dependencies I need to install first.

I really hope it’s different now, but about a decade ago I tried to use Linux for multiple years and I really tried to like it, but it has always been a pain in the ass as soon as you try to set up something that is a little more fringe/advanced like software for music production.

Tomatus, tomatos.

I miss the times where every post was about how shitty reddit is. Now it’s only original content. It’s really going downhill fast.

I’ll never forget the taste of milk taken right from a chickens teat.

We had that thread a week ago and someone suggested kabaneros.

I don’t care what y’all decide, I’m gonna go with that one.

Nah. There are plenty of self diagnosed people who post slightly weird but totally normal behaviour to ADHD subs.

Pretty sure it’s kabaneros

I just used article, seems to work :)

I don’t believe in that. We are way more deterministic than we tend to think.

It’s derived from total app downloads on android:

Do what you want, the world won’t change because of your individual behaviour.

The company never said anything about closing it down, but i’m pretty sure that it will happen. The process of streamlining will make the UI impossible to work at some point, so instead of patching it to make it work they are surely going to remove it completely.

Reddit released some numbers a year ago (warning: reddit link!). So it’s another 4% of users using old.reddit (probably a huge overlap with 3PA users), but also 60% of moderators. I guess getting rid of it probably won’t hurt them a lot.

‘push button, get dopamine’

I thought so, too at first. But for every account i make somewhere I already need email confirmation and/or 2FA, so registering is far from “click button” -> “start” and seemingly the majority manages to make that work.

The only thing slightly complicated about the fediverse is the fact that there are interconnected instances with different services. But since we are in an early phase anyways, things will figure themselves out in the next months. I think it’s going to be like this: there will be communities for all kinds of stuff and all of them will get through a certain development. In a few months or even years, there might be just a single-digit number of, let’s say, football communities left, because the well-managed ones grew and attracted more users while others died down. If I want to talk about football, I can join the server with a known community without even thinking about the fediverse. But when I do, I will immediately be able to access the rest of it. Honestly, it was the same with reddit for a lot of users. A lot of people joined just for their hobby and learned about the diversity over time.

Avoid all forms of censorship. Free speech is sometimes painful…that’s the price we pay for it.

No. Not worth the pain for me. If this place gets infested by Nazis and alike, i’ll be gone in no time.

I thought about that too this morning. We have the chance to redefine different “NSF”-tags instead of just having one. I don’t mind seeing “light” NSFW content, but it might not be the best idea to open porn on my workplace PC or when i sit in a train. I also don’t mind seeing most NSFW content in private, but i really don’t need to see traumatizing stuff.

I propose the following:

• Nudity/Porn
• NSFL (potentially traumatizing, death, gore etc.)
• NSFW (other stuff that doesn’t fall in those categories, like people fighting, puke, slight injuries)
• Spoiler

of course, there will never be 100% agreement about what content fits to what category, but that’s always been the case and can be discussed in the comments.

Hmm, you are right with that. Maybe the focus shouldn’t be on describing the underlying infrastructure before people join, but right after? So they have at least seen the building from inside before leaving again?
