On Reddit, true crime subs pop up after every big story.

I don’t understand their absolute ban on posting the manifesto, or the desperation to silence users speculation, or suspending Luigi’s user account even though he has not been proven guilty of anything. What’s going on over there?

Fuck Reddit.

    They’re getting paid to sink it.

    Very wealthy people want it sunk and the site likes money.

      Maybe not explicitly, but that’s the expectation when you’re a platform that depends on advertising. Must be a “safe space” for advertisers.

    “Fuck Reddit” is why I’m here, bud. Going to be harder for corpos to control a federated internet. Stop going there and giving them KPIs.

        That’s the beauty of federation though. Can just not be on Lemmy.world if you disagree with the moderation of that instance

        There will always be instances that are harsher than reddit even

    They’re capitalists beholden to their shareholders…

    …also they’re probably a little afraid of the class war brewing…

    Reddit’s app is anti-libre software. We do not control it. It fails to include a libre software license text file, like GPL.

    Reddit’s website hides anti-libre software in our web browsers. We do not control it. It fails to include a libre software license text file, like GPL.

    These are forced to connect back to Reddit’s devices, not to our own and not directly to each other. We are banned from fixing this: we do not control it, anti-libre software.

    When we are lazy and gullable, we get scammed like this.

        That’s why we got to stop giving them that power.

        I find refusing Discord and Instagram an easy way to immediately pique others curiosity, people I know in person.
