I’m whelmed.

...as for me, I'm kinda getting a kick out of all this chaos

You know what's funny? I think I voted more on comments here than my several years of reddit already. Having votes kept to individual comments instead of tallied up in your profile like this just feels better to me.

Downvoters Hate This One Simple Trick

Hey welcome! Hope you have some solace here with the rest of us internet refugees :)

Get a load of this guy who doesn't have a quantum bike pssh

I too wish some of the smaller subreddits I was in moved here, but not everyone wants to do that 🫤Think it’s just gonna take time to build up those small communities unfortunately

I know what you’re saying, but I feel like it does both tbh

It's all good, as long as we have actual people here (I was pretty much a hard lurker on reddit as well lol)

I know it sounded stupid in hindsight, but hey at least it got the ball rolling on asking the question if reddit was really worth going back to after all this blew over (of course, we know the answer to that already)

Ah yes, the prison yard aesthetic... lookin' good

Finally. Wish his influence would crumble to dust too.

Think a large part of it is context driven and what kind of community it is. I know in more serious threads, more helpful information was usually upvoted. But I get you, Reddit (the default subreddits especially) got too big for its own good and became the muddied groupthink mess it is today, and I definitely agree that those kinds of comments add nothing to a discussion. I suppose one kind of solution here would be to implement the boosting system like they have at kbin and have that as some "helpful/insightful" button, but I don't think people in general would agree to one standard just like that. They're more likely going to keep doing what they're used to, and that's the voting system. Not sure how to really tackle the problem myself 😅

Yes, but what does it stand for?

If you're a true lemming you would hold it in for three days first

Would be big if he decided to take a shot at making an iOS app for us.

Always knew Wales was essentially living in a different dimension... 🤔 (lol, thanks for the tidbit!)

It sure is exciting being in a new place after so long tbh. Was definitely feeling the stagnation before.

Haha, yep

Agree with this sentiment. The night's young here, so I think a little consolidation would do more to help us at this point in time

Fantastic news for Android users! Exciting to see what other third party apps will pop up

Been trying to make an account here for like a week. Kept hanging, but it finally went through this time!

Oh god I can hear it in my head

Well, you're probably not too far from the truth lmao

Decentralization's pretty hard to kill so as long as people stick around, I have high hopes for places like these.

Yeah, and we're just getting started :)

...hello? Streisand?

Maybe the admins were always like this and are just now starting to show their true colors. You know, in the face of a cash grab.

Love your reply

That's pretty insightful. Kinda knew that businesses don't want to post profits but never really knew their reasonings or the implications. Thank you for spelling it out.

Nice, we're already getting OC

...normal or "hey, it's all good because we said so"?
