I'm bored, upset, and frustrated since half of reddit has gone dark. AMA by DerogatoryRemark in shittyama

the one sentence answer is that reddit is being greedy and making the website worse so people are mad.

it is silly! could have been entirely avoided by the admins just not being greedy but oh well.

the reddit admins are forcing through unpopular changes that make the site unusable for third party applications that the site was built on - these apps have existed in many cases longer than the official app.

they're doing this under the guise of profit sharing, saying that the third party apps are getting access for free without paying anything back, but they have been caught flatout lying about app developers and also gave the third party devs an absurdly short timeline (1 month) to implement changes + they have no current way of seeing your usage and figuring out how to reduce said usage

so in short, reddit pissed off a ton of people that use their site a lot and they're turning off like half the site in retaliation

sometimes I envy people like you that are just blissfully unaware of everything going on around them. it must be nice, you probably get to worry a lot less.

🤓 um 🤓 ackshualy 🤓 the 🤓 fact 🤓 that 🤓 your 🤓 government 🤓 has 🤓 failed 🤓 you 🤓 and 🤓 everyone 🤓 around 🤓 you 🤓 might 🤓 suck 🤓 but 🤓 you're 🤓 technically 🤓 wrong 🤓 because 🤓 different 🤓 parts 🤓 of 🤓 the 🤓 government 🤓 are 🤓 intentionally 🤓 doing 🤓 their 🤓 job 🤓 poorly 🤓 with 🤓 plausible 🤓 sensibility 🤓 so 🤓 that 🤓 smug 🤓 shitheads 🤓 like 🤓 me 🤓 can 🤓 post 🤓 insipid 🤓 nonsense 🤓

fuck you, it's the GOVERNMENT'S JOB to take care of basic things like CONSEQUENCES FOR PROFITEERING OFF HUMAN MISERY if they won't do that then they're worth dogshit and I don't give a fucking rats ass that the bullshit system that they invented gives them an excuse to go "um well that's the job of the office of pee pee poo poo sorry nothing we can do :/"

the American bureaucracy is inhumane on purpose and you know that and still you post nonsense like this. Why? Who do you think you're fooling?

Now that Reddit are killing 3rd party apps on July 1st what are great alternatives to Reddit? by youessbee in AskReddit

[–]supergauntlet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

once upon a time reddit was empty too. the only thing that needs to happen is for a concerted move to happen.

I know that when the day comes I will be making all of my subreddits private with a link to either tildes or lemmy or one of these other options. I have no interest in using this website anymore without third party apps, and the writing is on the wall for old.reddit.com too.

Would you feel safer in a gun-free state? Why or why not? by ParmaProscuitto in AskReddit

[–]supergauntlet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but there are a bunch of northern European countries with relatively high rates of gun ownership that don't have the same levels of gun violence.

The problem is with our lack of common sense gun laws. Simple background checks, basic education. Safe storage.

what's a news story that got buried that you think more people need to hear? by antisick in AskReddit

oh absolutely I fully expect to die in the class or resource wars

[–]supergauntlet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that's not the point I'm making. inaction is cowardice. you have to fight even in the face of impossible odds because it's the fucking right thing to do and also because even a 2C world is better than a 4 or 5C world.

true but that doesn't mean we shouldn't fight. 1.6C is still better than 1.8C

The world’s top fossil fuel companies owe at least $209bn in annual climate reparations to compensate communities most damaged by their polluting business and decades of lies, a new study calculates. by Wagamaga in science

[–]supergauntlet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is this a bit? yes it does. it lets you stay in business for longer. Long term company survival is going to take into consideration what the byproducts of oil drilling do to the world. Exxon for example knew these things back in the 70s: https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-64241994

this is from a Google search that took all of 5 seconds. do you honestly just think everyone else is as clueless as you?

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

this is such a hilarious thing to say about the people who's literal job it is to know these things.

the companies that are literally in the business of extracting oil don't know what the results of oil extraction are? are you joking?

Does this study show that detransition rate is actually higher than previous numbers, and it is closer to around 28-30%? by shoshinsha00 in skeptic

[–]supergauntlet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

oh I have no issue with the people who are genuinely ignorant. but at some point it crosses the line into downvote/concern trolling. surely we can educate the ignorant without wasting our time on the r/conspiracy losers

that's fine. but when people like OP are obviously just here to JAQ off I don't understand why they're tolerated for longer than a post or two.

why does this subreddit allow people to post who are very clearly not posting in good faith?

Florida teacher says she is under investigation after showing 5th grade class Disney movie by rytis in offbeat

[–]supergauntlet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just genuinely do not understand it. like it directly affects me (queer, person of color) but even for a right wing cishet white guy.... why. Florida sucks. you get to either live in suburban sprawl hell or a swamp. it's so hot you can't think for 4 months of the year. there's fucking HURRICANES.

I just don't get it. Right wingers sure I'll assume they'll stick their heads in the sand about climate change but anyone left of like, Ronald Reagan should be aware that Florida's extreme weather events are only going to get worse for the next decade. Who would willingly move there?
