Well, I suppose anything can happen but they’ve stayed consistent since pretty much their inception… Also, Reddit used to be called a content aggregator, not social media, which was coined as such due to its non-anonymous accounts, although these boundaries have reduced over time.

Anyway, I think we can all agree that we hope Lemmy/FOSS could one day be a major contender in this playing field.

What I learned about Germany most recently is that it’s super-mega FOSS-prioritizing, which is awesome!

I understand how people are titillated by stories of personal trauma.

WTF? I don’t go there for entertainment but to stay abreast of the latest scam types and procedures so that I or my friends don’t become victims. They’re getting insanely sophisticated out there, so I’m just as glad as I am to read of people evading scams on there as I am sorrowful for people falling prey to them, while also learning about the right and wrong steps to take.

This isn’t for fun; that’s what /r/FreeGameFindings is for, which is also an excellent place in its own way. I am following an equivalent Lemmy community but I’m on both just in case the Reddit one catches any titles that the other doesn’t while we wait for Lemmy counterparts to grow.

So, there, two communities that aren’t cesspools. To what subreddits did you go? Here are more: /r/zerowaste, /r/eatcheapandhealthy, /r/personalfinance or even /r/povertyfinance. The “cesspool” stance is subreddit-specific and I bet it’s not any one of these. You have to be strict with your subreddit curation and only go to those communities and nothing else (especially never the homepage), and then it’s awesome.

I’m trying to move here not because of subreddit/community issues but beef with the direction that corporate Reddit itself is going—which is fine to ditch due to that, too, but don’t imply that all subreddits suck.

Interesting… So Vivaldi is like Opera 2.0?

Why do you have to “get through them” in a specific order, though?

Interesting, though you can also just keep pressing Ctrl+Shift+T and it’ll eventually restore entire windows in the reverse order of closure, whether tab or window.

Right? Where’s the Apple Car already?

Sure, this is unfortunately our disinformation landscape now, but regardless, is deception okay (given how it’s always intentional by definition)?

Going back to your original question, I do think people would be annoyed by bots and outed human liars alike; at least, I would be, since the bots are controlled by people anyway.

As for my Reddit experience, I like /r/scams, among other similarly healthy and truly informative places to be.

What kind of question is this? A role-playing person talking to others who don’t know they’re role-playing is deceitful, so are you saying there’s absolutely nothing wrong with deception?

It’s generally expected outside of /r/jokes, /r/twosentencehorror, etc. that the people you’re talking to are telling the truth as they know it, or else why talk at all?

Thai food

There we go; all better now.

Interesting; I thought today’s Nazis are pro-Jew, haha.

Why Molly? Doesn’t being unofficial mean always being a step behind in security updates?

most people won’t read and you’ll end up denying perfectly fine users.

I think that is a good outcome and that any such people are absolutely not “perfectly fine,” correspondingly. I also think the count of such people would be very low in the first place.

Ha, I’ve heard that even domain hosts themselves will jack up the price of a domain later after you search up its availability if you don’t pay for it then and there! All powered by an algorithm, too…

I know; I just gave an example of how immediately after in the same comment lol.

If the files are exact copies, then MD5 checks will catch them; tweaking so many files just to bypass this could prove to be too tedious of a process for people to bother exploiting it.

However, people could create scripts for others to mass-download, -edit, and -upload their files accordingly to reduce this tedium.

Because I don’t want to make another account just for an AutoHotkey discussion board, but /c/AutoHotkey is dead while /r/AutoHotkey is very much alive. The same can be said for so many other subs. Why else would one stay there?

Waterfox (water beats fire), AdNauseam (uBO fork that also clicks ads to mess up their tracking data), and NoScript (selective JavaScript-disabling per site) here!

Oh yeah, I forgot that that’s been going on in legislature… Hmm…

Oh okay, I figured I’d clarify before you amassed any more downvotes, haha. Have an upvote.
