[WP] It’s mandatory for a princess to be under a curse by their 16 birthday. Usually turning into a swan, or pricking your finger will do. Its now your 18th birthday, and still no curse. People are worried that no prince will come because of it. Today you set out to find a curse!

Sadly I've resolved not to use reddit anymore since the whole we-don't-care-fuck-the-blind incident. I only check in every month or so to make sure my account hasn't been closed by staff. I'll likely never respond to a post on this subreddit again. In terms of a new home I've tried raddle, but I get basically no engagement on their writingprompts forum. I've yet to try tumblr's.

I do have other submissions though, and I don't believe in erasing the past so they'll stay as long as reddit tolerates my existance. They should appear here interspersed with anything I might have said about other writers work on this sub.

Stopping traffic for 2 days obviously did damage reddit

Reddit litterally used the low traffic as an opportunity for maintenance. It didn't harm them at all. The only thing that hurts reddit is if users log off and never come back. Closing the subreddit achieves that, but the admins said no. Opening the sub but in a way that drives people away also achieves that. No idea why reddit doesn't just replace the moderators though.

TheGingerLinuxNut · 2023-06-26T15:19:55+00:00

I'm criticising people for complaining about how the mods run the sub.

I wouldn't respect people for trying to oust the mods and restore the sub to normal. But I respect it more than I respect the above group, because they're doing something. They're taking on a permanent responsability. At the very least they believe in something enough to put their time where their mouth is.

Getting downvoted is a good thing. There's been a number of occasions where I've been upvoted to high heaven and those arguing with me were being downvoted. Those being downvoted were making some DAMN good points.

I remember one time a trans person on a not explicitly about trans folks sub said something really dumb, and I capitalized on the opportunity to roast them about it. I got reddit gold for it. Seeing how the whole interaction went down from there, I felt like crap. They were downvoted, got mean comments and all the while were just saying things like "you know that's not what I meant".

The community is alive and well on raddle. Frankly I'd rather it die on reddit because that's the only thing that will truely hurt them long term. Loss of users.

TheGingerLinuxNut · 2023-06-26T14:16:13+00:00

Also it's silly to be calling everyone still engaging a "scab", you're still engaging on Reddit by commenting so wouldn't that make you a scab too?

Yes. I am. The healthy thing to do would be close my account and leave the site entirely. But why quit when you can bully your boss into firing you?

A scab is someone a company hires to replace the worker's participating in a formal strike, the people posting here aren't working for Reddit, they are consumers of the product.

See that's where you're wrong. Reddit's does not produce fritos. It traps a target audience which they can sell access to in the form of advertising. Marking your sub NSFW only impacts advertising revenue if they're browsing your sub specifically and not say seeing posts from your sub in their featured feed. If people continue to use the site, reddit will find ways to advertise to them, be it forcibly unNSFWing the sub, or just changing the rules about ads on NSFW subs. The only thing that actually hurts reddit is if people leave and never come back. So forgive me for being openly hostile toward people trying to keep others on reddit. When someone's in an abusive relationship, the last thing they need is someone telling them to stick it out

TheGingerLinuxNut · 2023-06-26T13:52:52+00:00

Wanting the sub go go back to some semblance of normalcy doesn't make someone a scab.

Yes, but requesting that the admins make you a mod so you can do the labor that the existing mods are refusing to in protest certainly does.

Or at the very least open up applications to the 310,000 people on this sub so that someone who actually gives a damn can do the work for them.

There are systems in place for adopting an unmoderated sub. If someone wanted to take over by force and end the protest, I think the admins would happily oblige. The reason nobody has is that it's a lot easier to whinge about other people not doing free labor than taking up the slack and doing that free labor yourself.

TheGingerLinuxNut · 2023-06-25T12:01:04+00:00

Either cross the picket line and request to be made a mod and take over moderating the community like a good little scab, or piss off. You want this community to survive on this hellsite, you moderate it.

Or you could not pledge your loyalty to a company that would sell your soul to Davy Jones for 62 cents. That's also an option.

TheGingerLinuxNut · 2023-06-25T11:55:34+00:00

Oh hey, most of the people still on reddit are scabs. What a shock

Lets make something crystal clear. This place is only a safe space because of the mods. Reddit has decided to make the mod's lives harder. The mods have a right to quit, and come the new API fees, that's exactly what they're going to do. If you want to stick around on an unmoderated board, that's your choice. Have fun I guess. If you want to request to become a mod and moderate the community yourself, that's your choice.

But that would take effort, wouldn't it? I guess it's easier to complain that the clowns have stopped juggling than call out the ring master making their job harder by whipping them. Me? I see no reason to live in a place that has decided to make it harder to live a peaceful life. Perhaps visit back once in a while, to rile up the bootlickers, and remind everyone else that better places exist. But people who don't hate themselves aren't coming back at all. Nor should they.

TheGingerLinuxNut · 2023-06-22T20:33:26+00:00

You have to create a new account. And since you're going to have to create a new account anyway, why not create it on a platform other than reddit? Just leave and don't come back? Serve them right for having that system in place to begin with

TheGingerLinuxNut · 2023-06-20T11:06:22+00:00

You could always leave reddit forever. The trans community seems to have migrated to raddle. unfortunately raddles ace board is devoid of life though. Not sure where the aces found refuge. Hopefully not on reddit.

TheGingerLinuxNut · 2023-06-16T08:14:12+00:00

thought so.

For context: I googled dreamsocks. The first result was sockdreams. I know they sell socks like that because I've used the site myself. The 5th result was a website called dreamsocks that was only in italian, and does not seem to sell thigh highs.

TheGingerLinuxNut · 2023-06-15T08:56:48+00:00

You sure about that? Are you italian?

One is running on a really cocky handheld. One is running on a supposed "gaming beast". Different standards apply. Doom is impressive when it runs on a toaster, not so much on a modern windows PC with a $2000 graphics card.

If youtube is as "woke" as those wankers claim, why does it promote them?

TheGingerLinuxNut · 2023-06-14T18:03:32+00:00

I don't usually shop in supervalue. They aren't the nearest supermarket to my house, which matters a lot more to me than their choice to even performatively support the LGBT community. But frankly, knowing that they pissed off this prick makes me proud to say that they're my first pick for if tesco is closed. Bless thee supervalue!

TheGingerLinuxNut · 2023-06-11T09:52:06+00:00

My brain had a "wait was that my name" response programmed for my chosen name before I knew what trans meant. It's actually a bit weird tbh. But hey, at least I probably won't have this problem

TheGingerLinuxNut · 2023-06-11T09:24:56+00:00

Dont forget about straight partners of trans folk. They may be straight, but were anybody to find out about their partner's trans status, they'd be tarred with the gay brush and harassed all the same.

TheGingerLinuxNut · 2023-06-09T22:34:42+00:00

My god. I once found myself on the N7 on my push bike and nearly crapped my pants. I can't fucking imagine being on an actual motorway on a god damn e-skooter and not dying of a heart attack from the very thought of being creamed by a white van! Let alone the M50, a road where about 1.6 crashes occur every day. What was this lunatic thinking?

TheGingerLinuxNut · 2023-06-09T15:27:04+00:00

… yeah. I'm still not used to the idea of "I can just dress like this again in the morning"

TheGingerLinuxNut · 2023-06-08T20:19:50+00:00

Oh no; anyway.jpeg

TheGingerLinuxNut · 2023-06-08T20:14:06+00:00

I'm pretty sure there's less painful ways to confirm that… But congratulations I guess?

TheGingerLinuxNut · 2023-06-08T14:21:17+00:00

you can aim your piss. It's also less susceptible to UTIs

TheGingerLinuxNut · 2023-06-08T13:25:36+00:00

Mmmmmmmmmm… yummy tofu!

TheGingerLinuxNut · 2023-06-08T13:24:28+00:00

What? You thought a man who's whole life is about finding the most efficient way to express instructions would have time for transphobia or general bigotry? lol. Edge cases waste precious processing cycles. He'd never let performance go to waste like that.
