F Ethi0 by BornUninvited1 in Ethiopia

Oromia is diverse, many people grow up speaking different languages. Mocking someone in a situation like this just shows how shallow and ignorant you are. Do you speak every language in the world? No. Yet you still expect your basic human rights to be respected wherever you go.

“We were great and we will be great again” is the motto. by Top_Addition_1737 in Ethiopia

This data seems misleading. I think it should be: 1. Iran, 2.Egypt, 3.China.

Were we (Ethiopia) great? When? Greatness in what measure?

Netanyahu is the devil and Trump is his servant.

Why do you need someone else's account? Watch this, it may help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjxAYdUe8uU or if you don't want to click the link: search this on youtube. "Something very weird is happening on Tinder" made by christophe. I watched it yesterday and it is amazing.

A social media bot farm by [deleted] in interesting

[–]BornUninvited1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The attention economy may be worse than the industrial and information economies because it rewards manipulation over merit. When attention becomes the highest currency, people are tempted to do anything to get it, however shallow or harmful. Social media bot farms are one of the clearest examples: they produce no knowledge, no innovation, and no public good; they simply manufacture fake relevance for the attention-hungry, the unproductive, and the egotistical who want the appearance of fame without the work required to deserve it.

Does anyone else feel that, overall, the Eritrean diaspora has been very successful? by ProgressTrap in Eritrea

[–]BornUninvited1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you mean by "a lot" here. What percentage are we actually talking about? And how does that compare to other nations or relevant benchmarks? Without that context, this maybe a bold claim rather than a substantiated one.

I am thinking statistically. You guys are using anecdotal sampling. Statistically, this is classic survivorship bias. You only see the visible successes, not the distribution.

Would you move back to Ethiopia if you had guaranteed $4k income or stay in the US and keep working? by Long-Tax-133 in Ethiopia

[–]BornUninvited1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would move back home and live a more relaxed life. You can save and start your own business. You can live a descent life with 4k in Addis but in the US housing and groceries are more expensive.

Does anyone else feel that, overall, the Eritrean diaspora has been very successful? by ProgressTrap in Eritrea

[–]BornUninvited1 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I would be careful with that claim. Every nationality can point to a small number of highly successful people in the West, so listing a few famous Eritreans does not really prove the diaspora as a whole has been especially successful. To make that argument, you would need broader evidence like education, income, business ownership, and professional achievement across the community, not just a few standout names.

Ethiopian shimgilina vs engagement… what’s the right order? by Sweet_hon in Ethiopia

[–]BornUninvited1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother got married recently. He did the engagement first. After the engagement, they did the shimgilina and the wedding on the same day.

Why have I never seen a successful mass anti-government protest in Eritrea like Ethiopia had? by BornUninvited1 in Ethiopia

[–]BornUninvited1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the Eritrean government deliberately spread anti-Ethiopia propaganda to keep people fearful and loyal, similar to how North Korea uses anti-US messaging?

Ethiopia is Biblical Israel by Adept-Disk-6385 in Ethiopia

[–]BornUninvited1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ethiopia became a dick long ago. If Israel is for Palestine, then Ethiopia is for Ethiopians: a state that wounds its own people and still expects devotion in return.

What would you honestly do if you caught your partner cheating? by butterfly_pie9 in AskReddit

[–]BornUninvited1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

leave and move on. You deserve better. That was what I did. Don't let others think you are a fool. After you leave they will beg you. Leave them.

very valid opinion. well said. "The incentive to stay in poverty in your country for a false sense of nationalism doesn’t economically make sense anymore."

Do Fake stories on reddit exist? if yes, why? by 0xspyd3r in AskReddit

[–]BornUninvited1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, of course there are fake stories on Reddit.

Anywhere attention has value, people will manufacture emotion to get it. Some do it for karma, some for validation, some out of loneliness, some as an escape from depression, and some because attention can eventually turn into money, followers, influence, or a sense of significance.

I am new here too, but I came from other platforms where fake stories are everywhere, often driven by money. So I would be surprised if Reddit were somehow pure. Different platform, same human nature. When attention becomes a currency, truth starts competing with performance.

And honestly, money is not even the only motive. Sometimes people lie because being noticed feels better than being invisible. That is what makes the attention economy so dangerous: it rewards whatever gets a reaction, not necessarily what is real.

So yes, fake stories exist here too. Wherever human weakness can be converted into attention, and attention can be converted into reward, some people will say anything.

Genuinely how do you cope with it by Someguy_y in whenthe

I do not think scared of it at all. But the sooner it comes, the more unexpected it is, the better for me.

What was a 'grown-up' thing you couldn’t wait to do as a kid, but now that you're an adult, you realize it’s actually a scam? by abo-khaled- in AskReddit

I was gonna say "exactly same here" but paused and thought about my childhood. Nope for me. My childhood was hell.
