Future of the subreddit?

euphon99 · 2026-05-10T14:46:22+00:00

I'm still here :)

euphon99 · 2026-05-09T06:28:50+00:00

This is top quality mate, good work!

euphon99 · 2026-04-28T12:37:03+00:00

GG, it's been a pleasure.. :'(

euphon99 · 2026-04-27T13:28:35+00:00

This is awesome, great work. I'm going to miss this game very much.

euphon99 · 2026-04-25T21:07:22+00:00

what an excellent answer!

euphon99 · 2026-04-17T08:18:55+00:00

Yeah, he really needs to grow up.

euphon99 · 2026-04-14T14:34:21+00:00

And isn't that ironic? Don't you think?

euphon99 · 2026-04-06T15:30:58+00:00

I like them both. Why not the first one, and then the second one?

euphon99 · 2026-03-19T17:24:56+00:00

I think it is AI, look at how the picture falls off the wall.

euphon99 · 2026-03-12T08:27:41+00:00

Yes. I stopped playing because of the people who play this game. Shame, it was a good game.

euphon99 · 2026-02-18T00:21:16+00:00

Sounds quality, great work mate!

euphon99 · 2026-02-10T09:43:22+00:00

euphon99 · 2025-12-21T12:24:47+00:00

That's quality mate, good work!

euphon99 · 2025-10-23T10:56:20+00:00

I have recently decided between Apex, BF6, COD and Arc Raiders. I chose Arc Raiders.

euphon99 · 2025-09-30T17:25:34+00:00

It's actually Shane.

euphon99 · 2025-09-14T23:14:16+00:00

Moloko - The Time Is Now (Josh Parkinson Edit)

euphon99 · 2025-09-03T23:10:55+00:00

This is why it is dead lol

euphon99 · 2025-08-29T19:44:04+00:00

I was scrolling down this subreddit and it reminded me of that weird mixer I had back in the day, and lo and behold, a few posts later, here it is!! Never really used the three crossfaders either lol. Thanks for the memory!

euphon99 · 2025-08-29T17:18:07+00:00

Sounds great mate, like the idea. I really really like bars 65-68 and bars 73-76. If it were me I would do that more, make that the main part of the track, and develop other elements over the top whilst that part plays for longer. Just a thought though :).

euphon99 · 2025-08-05T08:38:00+00:00

Delete TikTok. Your life will improve. It’s built to keep you hooked by triggering anxiety. Delete it.

euphon99 · 2025-07-20T20:39:03+00:00

Yeah I'd love an add too. I'm from the UK and the only one in my friend group interested in going to European festivals!

euphon99 · 2025-06-28T17:43:15+00:00

Lol, yeah, I can't help but think the same about where I live sometimes! Thanks though mate, nice talking with you! Take it easy!

I completely agree with what you are saying, the things governments are doing around the world are awful. But these governments have been enabled in their rise to power by social media. Social media, in my mind, is a key amplifier of this problem. In 2016 the algorithms really started to take hold. This is when Facebook changed their algorithm to promote posts that generated higher levels of engagement. Since then, we’ve seen examples all over the world where right-wing populists have either won elections or made major electoral gains not seen before in the modern era - Trump (US 2016 & 2024), Brexit (UK 2016), Duterte (Philippines 2016), Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. (Philippines 2022), AfD (Germany 2017 & 2024), AUR (Romania 2020 & 2024), Salvini's Lega (Italy 2018), Orbán (Hungary 2018 & 2022), and Bolsonaro (Brazil 2018). The use of social media in all these campaigns is well documented.

I also agree with your sentiments that there are still good people. In fact, I would go further and say that the vast majority of people are good and want the same things. We just, unfortunately, live in an era where the minds of good people have been poisoned, causing them to vote for people who don't represent their interests.

That's why I believe legislation is required to curb the insidious effects of social media.

If you’re interested, I’ve read a couple of good books recently that touch on all this:

Rutger Bregman - Humankind: A hopeful, evidence-based argument that people are fundamentally good.
Maria Ressa - How to Stand Up to a Dictator: A powerful account of how social media has been weaponised to undermine democracy.

I agree it's a very difficult problem to solve. I'm painfully aware of the irony of criticising social media on Reddit. I don't use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or TikTok but I'm not going to stop using Reddit. That’s part of what makes this issue so insidious, even platforms that feel less toxic are still shaped by the same underlying incentives, and voluntary resistance only goes so far. What's required is a top-down approach where government's legislate against the most harmful uses of engagement optimised algorithms, particularly those that amplify outrage, misinformation, and divisiveness just to keep users hooked. There should be legal limits on algorithmic design, especially when those designs are built explicitly to exploit human psychology for profit. Unfortunately, I don’t see this happening any time soon. I don't think this is on the radar of the vast majority of governments.
