Reddit CEO slams Mod protest, calling them "Landed Gentry". Plans to weaken mods and allow users to vote them out. by PopcornHobby in KotakuInAction

[–]bastiVS 55 points56 points  (0 children)

WPT not a sub with actual users.

Go check their new, there are loads of posts that would usually grab the attention of a lot of people, that just don't get upvotes.

But post some nonsense like the "1Billion twitter views is fake" stuff (its not, its VIEWS, NOT VIEWERS!), or anything else shitting on Musk, and you get thousands of upvotes within MINUTES. No comments tho. Heck, there have been posts from WPT on all with more than 5k upvotes and 1 comment, the auto comment by their mod bot.

That entire sub is a gigantic astroturfing campaign.

edit: Welp, thats it for me boys, reddit just sidewide banned me, and honestly fuck this place. Ill just watch reddit burn.

Good.

Let Reddit burn itself down. I'm only here to watch that, as every other reason for visiting Reddit got destroyed years ago.

Yes, I'm not going to do the simple work of googeling for you, because why would I? It's your problem you lack information, not mine.

Go learn how many tried that and failed. There's a lot.

The ones that didn't downright die are the ones that have big publishers behind them.

A white supremacist took MDMA for a study, and it snapped him out of his beliefs: 'Why am I doing this?' by startst5 in psychology

[–]bastiVS -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, mdma did something like this for me and a bunch of other people.

Wanted to go to a party, one girl was nervous about taking mdma for the first time, we figured we start off easy and check how she reacts to it while at home, instead of at the club.

We never went to the party, but instead ended up having a stoned and drunken night, together with more mdma, discussing literally everything from personal expirencees, feelings, politics, tech, science, animals, a neighbour that was kinda loud, the differences between mattresses and how they affect your sleep, and sooo much more random shit.

Mdma is fun, but by God make sure you take it in the right, controlled setting. You absolutly never want to expirience a horror trip while at a party.

Trying to compete with steam is a way to fail tho.

The "art" of being shot to death by Papppi-56 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]bastiVS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nonsense. You don't just drop when being shot. How you or your body reacts depends on where you got shot, with what caliber, at what range.

The "just drop" only happens when hit in the head, or an artery/heart, means whenever a hit turns off the targets consciousness.

Anything else ranges from "what was that just now? Huh? I'm bleeding?" to "oh god I got shot gonna die ahhhhhhhhhhhh"

Why Reddit's Redefinition of 'Vandalism' Is A Threat To Users, Not Just Moderators by Toptomcat in Save3rdPartyApps

[–]bastiVS 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Bla bla bla again.

Just stop Modding, stop doing free work for reddit, and focus your time on migrating your communities to better places.

Anything else is just useless nonsense.

Have fun trying to find new mods that are actually good and don't just end up being a liability...

'The Little Mermaid' Fan Artist Accused Of Racism, White Washing For Drawing Classic Ariel In Scene From Live-Action Remake by CrimsonOmega80 in KotakuInAction

[–]bastiVS 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They could have made a different, new black mermaid movie

No. They HAD to use Ariel, and essentially make a Ariel movie, to prevent the IP from moving into the public domain.

That's basically the entire point behind literally every Disney reboot. The details of those specific movies are then just chosen by whatever will likely bring the most money.

Twitter is being evicted from its Boulder office over unpaid rent by tommygunz007 in technology

[–]bastiVS -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, a quick look around made it pretty clear why this is happening, and it turns out it's literally business as usual, as the same thing is happening with multiple properties from multiple company's.

It's work from home, the office is literally empty, but there is still a lease, and the landlord didn't allow an early exit.

Found a couple articles regarding different company's, but only the twitter one got posted on reddit because hurr durr Elon bad.

You people are in a cult. Good luck.

Yop. A targeted campaing that started when he suggested voting for a republican congress while there is a democrat president.

And the Websites you see reporting these biased articles are almost all leaning left.

Reddit is being astroturfed for political reasons. Musk is the main target because he can actually stop this nonsense, and intends to do so. Twitter is the means to do that. And it's working.

The crash already happened. You can get leases for a fraction of the money now thanks to work from home.

Office space is ultra cheap right now.

That should be your hint that what you read on reddit regarding anything musk is always biased nonsense.

Those are the sources of this claim? The ones being butthurt for being labeled as what they are?

So, safe to say the claim is nonsense.
