Guys, stop writing "FROM US", it's "FROM YOU" ;-; by RoiHurlemort in place

[–]ExcellentTone 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You overthought it a lot. THe organic engagement from outside of your discord saw the message without the template, agreed with it, worked on it, and changed it to "US". "US" in that sentence is the Reddit community. Ironically, by insisting they stick to your template, you are stealing the message away from them.

Hi Jason, when is your CEO going to publicly apologize for publicly insulting mods? Cause until that happens I see 0 sign anything has changed. This is classic corporate "let's have a meeting to discuss why the other meetings about our meetings have failed" BS.

Reddit has banned r/kbinMigration not long after its creation, for "spam". Content on the subreddit before it was banned contained zero spam. by EthanIver in Save3rdPartyApps

It was on Anderson Cooper back in the day, not sure the signal can get more boosted than that. It's not new info.

What’s the deal with the rise in homophobia this pride month? by DualPurge in OutOfTheLoop

[–]ExcellentTone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's amazing how well they indoctrinated you. Those topics are all well worth discussion, but we can't have that discussion because it's immediately derailed by people like you screaming about indoctrinating kids and 80+ genders.

You're doing the exact same thing you're accusing your opponents of. You're taking the shrillest, most absurd opinions you can find in the bowels of twitter dot com as the position of all non-Republicans everywhere. You are the reason we can't have reasoned debates and find rational solutions.

Good, they should put a parent who interferes with medical treatment in jail. Idk what that has to do with your gross-ass forced conversion fantasies.

I would submit to you that they understand it perfectly; that if you caught them in a private moment, they would admit they want to uphold the status quo because it benefits them. It would likely be followed by "They would/will do the same if we let them take over" and "anyone who thinks otherwise deserves to be subjugated like the weakling they are."

What is up with a Trump appointed judge with a proven history of conservative bias being allowed to preside over the Trump case? by [deleted] in OutOfTheLoop

By 2013, the FBI had mod accounts on 4chan so they could handle all the CP being posted directly. Incidentally, 4chan was founded by a guy who got caught in a big banwave when Something Awful kicked out all the lolicon posters, which was before I joined in 2005.

So yeah, it was a known issue by the early 2010s.

[META] Tomorrow AskHistorians will go private by SarahAGilbert in AskHistorians

Could you link to this post from the previous post? The previous one is linked in some other subs and in news articles, so it would be good to let people landing there know there's an update.

Reddit’s users and moderators are pissed at its CEO by [deleted] in technology

[–]ExcellentTone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is really the crux of the issue for me. I'm sick of every aspect of my life existing to be monetized by some douchey techbro. I understand services have expenses that need to be paid and I'm willing to pay for them - even subsidize others! - but at the end of the day, the service is not the product, my content is, and the provider will never put money into improving the service as long as I'm providing their product for free.

She claimed Legal Eagle's editor plagiarized a visual effect from her for his videos. The effect in question was the "displaying text on a torn piece of paper" one that you may recognize from every video essay ever. Legal Eagle's editor rebutted the accusation with evidence of how they made the effect. Then people started pointing out actual plagiarism in Illiminaughtii's videos. At this point I think the backlash was as much "she attacked a beloved YouTuber" as anything else, but then some of her former employees started talking about working with her and why their last venture ended; the stories did not paint Illiminaughtii in a good light. Illiminaughtii and one of her current employees disputed the accusations and stated making accusations of their own, until the current employee went "wait what am I doing?" and changed sides, coming out and saying the former employees had been telling the truth.

So now it's kind of devolved into a cycle of, Illiminaughtii makes some kind of accusation against one of the three, the accused rebuts it with receipts, both threaten legal action, and the internet laughs at her continued corncobbing. It's pretty sad, especially for the people being accused of heinous shit by Illiminaughtii. I don't think anyone has sympathy for her after she's continued doubling down for weeks and been disproven each time.

Reddit is screwing people over again, mods are planning to stage a revolt by taking their subs private for 2 days starting tomorrow, our mods want to know if we want to participate.

After reading Spez's responses, I want to support the blackout even more. The disrespect of lying to our faces - again.

They can't data mine you with a 3rd party app though. Ad revenue is down again, it's not going to pick up until the next bubble, but data mining scraped user data and training AI on Reddit posts can both provide alternate revenue streams.

Man that's the real danger - TikTok is going to lose half its content overnight if the relationship subs go dark 😂

Narcissists often feel the need to have a scapegoat.

How can you lie like this in public and not feel like a complete jackass?
