I'm making my transition a somewhat gradual one. I'll still be on Reddit, in the more esoteric subs, though I feel dirty every time I go there. As all the cool kids migrate over, I'll spend less time there and more time here.

How's firing almost all your IT staff working out for you, Elon?
I like this place already!
Over at the Former Place, the admins have the mistaken assumption that Nazis are actually human.
Defederate their asses. Fascism is a cancer.
Anyone who's been on Reddit or Twitter knows what happens if you give those psychopaths an inch.
Deplatforming works. That's why the chuds whine about it.
Safety schmafety, what could possibly go wrong?
I'm glad I never got into cryptocurrency. For all intents & purposes, it might as well be Monopoly money.
I suppose if every Reddit user bought stock at the IPO... Yeah... Not practical.
Welp, that's why we're here making our own social media with blackjack and hookers!
I'll admit, I did it, I just posted on Reddit. Though to be fair, I joined r/pics' Sexy John Oliver protest, and put this up.
Not just the porn subs. A bunch of the weed subs got banned, and the rest got NSFW'd because Mormon Spez wants Reddit as G-rated as Disneyland for the IPO. Why if anyone saw a weed post, it'd make an investor wet their magic underwear!
I'm getting the feeling that the only delete command that's going to really work is the kind that is on legal letterhead and sent via a process server...
Youtube's got business deals with the recording studios, and those studios put their music on Youtube legally, and get a piece of the ad revenue.
Yeah, I'm sick of being Zucc'd, Musk'd, and Spez'd.
Not to say I don't trust Meta, but I don't trust them...
Takes a lot of power to do that data collection...
I don't know if that kind of temperature lasts more than microseconds, so that might not be enough time for much combustion to happen.
In any case, the forces, IIRC, from a 300 atm pressure differential would mash the people to goo in the blink of an eye. Like being inside an exploding bomb. Except exploding in. They're fish food.
EDIT: There are reports that the Coast Guard recovered "presumed human remains".

What could possibly be left of them after that implosion?
And when I switch from Local to All, the thing just keeps slapping stories onto the top of the feed while I'm trying to read, makes the site impossible to use.
Definitely needs a fix!
I'll bet this deal won't last long. Putin and Prigozhen already sicced armies on each other, so the amount of trust between them is zero.
Also, "ironic" use of fascist and Nazi tropes, like naming a subreddit "r/pcmasterrace". Yeeeeaaaaah, no.
I'm inclined to agree with you on this - sometimes, rumors get exaggerated.
The Guardian article I linked above says the Coast Guard recovered "presumed human remains" - though I'd think it would be hard to recognize much of anything exposed to that much force. A few bits of snarge, I'm guessing.
Are we allowed to answer that question here?
It's a pity that we weren't back at the old place...
I remember reading Bluesky's blurbs about tagging services (that's apparently a thing with the AT protocol). For example, the SPLC could operate a tagging service, which can tag instances, communities, individual users, threads, etc. with an SPLC-certified "HATE" tag, and server admins could set their instances to automatically delete or block anything with that tag, and users can automatically block anything with that tag.
Nice thing is that in accordance with decentralization, if a tagging service gets overzealous, or gets compromised by bad actors, it's easy for users to move elsewhere.
Definitely, asshole control is necessary. Do Fediverse instances have ways to exchange block lists? Or mutually agree not to pass on posts flagged as spam, hate, etc.?
Spez thinks he can replace the mods with a cube farm in Bangalore.
Three guesses what happens to comment quality when that happens, and the first two don't count...
Yes! Hold the instance owners accountable for allowing that shit to fester and be rebroadcast.
Nine people dining at a table with a Nazi means you have ten Nazis.
That's pretty much it. If instances want to legally broadcast copyrighted content, they need to go through the licensing system. Generally involves giving them money, and to afford it, chances are good they'll need to put up ads.
Absolutely! Defederation is the prime weapon against these choad warriors.
Fuck fascists, and fuck any instance which would host them!
No, you get the entire community to ignore those shits by banning and defederating.
Yeah, it wasn't the video game controller that failed...
Exactly. Even if spez rolled everything back, I'm not going back.
All trust in Reddit is now destroyed because of Spez.
