I don’t wanna be mean to the guy who effectively just lost his job but like, come on bro. Reddit wasn’t exactly hiding their negative intentions, outright lies, and lack of respect.

I miss power-up racers that weren’t just Mariokart clones, like NASCAR Rumble and that.

Votes are public here, as are moderator actions, so we can actually see everything going on, including empty accounts only used to bot upvote stuff. In addition, not every platform works the same way. Some have upvotes and downvotes, some only have upvotes, some are wonky like kbin where upvotes don’t count toward reputation but boosts do, etc. An upvote isn’t just an upvote like it is on reddit. They also can’t “enshittify” something that users can self-host their own instances of to interact.

Edit: Also, we’re in the early stages right now, reddit has a decade lead.

Tbh I usually just use it to play games on a bigger screen with a Bluetooth controller when I’m bored, Nintendo Switch style. There are plenty of console-style mobile games + streaming services that can make it a pretty good time killer if I’m the only one in a waiting room or something.

Perhaps block the “RedditMigration” magazine if you’re not interested in seeing it. It’s not like this place was founded out of politeness.

I mean the funny thing to me is that this guy is just an idiot. This is r/piracy we’re talking about, they’re pirates. A decentralized and low-key forum like this is exactly where they should want to be, not on one of the world’s five biggest websites just posting freely on main.

See, it’s all this stuff that really makes the

Such slander doesn’t deserve any response

statement feel very Steve Huffman to me. It very clearly does deserve a response because the problem doesn’t end with just saying “nope lol that’s not us” and people like me have to go digging through all this bullshit just to figure out the facts: they believe anti-China news and similar is U.S./media propaganda and will moderate opposing viewpoints with “Orientalism” bans and similar. That’s not a hard statement to type, and if this viewpoint is in good faith then I struggle to see why they refuse to just say that and consistently resort to “if you don’t like our moderation policy feel free to join/start a different instance!” without ever actually clarifying the moderation policy. Even lemmygrad pretty much says outright “if you like capitalism, fuck off.”

I didn’t even think, I just used the same as my reddit one.

Which is fine, I have 99 on everything else, being just gk would be weird.

That’s a pleasant compliment lol
