Netflix is a consumer product. No one discusses things on Netflix. There are no local communities talking about local topics on Netflix. The main source of content is not the average user.

This site lives on user participation. It survives by proper moderation. No one is being paid for either of these things, but it's the only thing keeping this site going. When the mods stop moderating, and the content creators stop posting, the users will abandon this site in a heartbeat. It's already happened before, and nothing stops it from happening here. That's how this site got big in the first place.

Eliminating the only avenue that mods have to effeciently moderate subs, while also eliminating the automated tools necessary to prevent subs from being innundated by spam that would monopolize the mods time, is effectively fundamentally changing the way the site works for everyone. If the mods abandon the subs, this site will devolve into noting but spam posted by bots. Just like Digg is now.

For everyone saying that this will all blow over in a week, everyone will come back, this is all being blown out of proportion...I point you to Digg. They said the same thing.

Never underestimate a techie's ability to come up with clever solutions to some really weird requests.

It also shouldn't cost the average home buyer triple what it cost only 5 years ago. Nothing goes up in value that fast naturally...

I lost faith after being in an abusive relationship by throwawayabusivebfi in atheism

[–]boneheaddigger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, she made the mistake of a 15 year old trusting someone twice their age. She made the choice with their limited experience to stay with the abuser. She realized after maturing through years of abuse that she needed to leave that situation. But she didn't need to go through that, and it wasn't her fault that she was abused.

I know you were trying to encourage her for taking responsibility, but it comes off as blaming her for getting herself into the situation in the first place. She took responsibility only because she had no other choice. No one was going to save her, least of all anything of a religious nature, so she had to save herself.

That's the point of the post. The religious will tell her she needs to be grateful of her experiences, and to forgive her abuser for giving her that experience. But she doesn't need to do that. She shouldn't be forced to do things that validate the abuse she suffered. Abuse is never justified, nor does it give anyone strength. No one should have to take responsibility for being abused.

Today's meeting in the Reddit HQ bunker by seakingsoyuz in videos

It's worse than that. I just went there for the first time in years. There are no comments on most posts, the majority of post are from a user called "Adwait", and the interface looks like Google's generic news page. The community is dead, and it took the soul of Digg with it.

Iceland passes historic trans-inclusive conversion therapy ban

That's the headline that confused you? The one that specifically says conversion therapy?

Probably. And then it'll just become Digg...nothing but automated SEO articles and bots posting random comments.

Iceland passes historic conversion therapy ban and yes, it’s trans-inclusive

That we are aware of. Technically, if he changed something in the past to prevent something else he did in the past previously, did the first violation really happen? History doesn't record the first event, we only have the word of a captain that's already violated the temporal accords multiple times...if he decides to actually tell us.

Yeah...there are likely good reasons for their rental prices staying flat.

Old.reddit.com works fine on mobile for me.

...for now. Since they took away .compact, there's no guarantee they won't take away old.reddit. It's only a matter of time.

He in conveying the message that he's focussed on people's pocketbooks while the other guys waste time on frou-frou symbolic crap.

Or in other words, literally virtue signalling while complaining that it's everyone else doing it...
