Reddit enrages users again by ditching thank-you coins and awards
  • Yeah, while my politics are typically fairly in line with the average Reddit user, I have little tolerance for bandwagoning or purposely misconstruing the opposition, so I always tried to emphasize that "while I totally agree with X, we shouldn't pretend that there's some huge outcry for Y or that Z is actually illegal anywhere in the US." Usually didn't matter, and I got banned anyway.

    But I guess when your identity is super wrapped up in being online and a mod, you need to feel like you got a win against the evils of the world.

  • I think the average person just simply doesn't care about their privacy.
  • I get it. But I am experiencing absolutely zero drawbacks to any privacy concerns, so any potential sacrifice is almost completely unnecessary. I'll support some similar things because I consider them good causes, but I have no problem being an open book. To bring everything back full circle, I assume most of the population feels similarly, and that explains why most people don't care (which was what I was originally replying to).

  • Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?
  • I mostly enjoyed the new take on a forum concept because the way it organized replies on new topics and because of the massive community. Videos, pics, and memes were okay, but it's the community comments that I mostly found valuable.

  • I think the average person just simply doesn't care about their privacy.
  • True, in that it's a balance of risk versus reward. But there's a middle ground between putting your SSN on a billboard and faking your death to go off the grid and burn off your fingerprints. I'm willing to bet 99.9% of people aren't worried about it because they'll never have to be.

    "Wait. That's not even what the article says. We shouldn't be jumping to conclusions." - "You have been permanently banned from large subreddit."

  • That's an interesting POV I hadn't really considered before. I'll probably go to Reddit when I need some kind of niche info on something, but stick to Lemmy for just discussion and general time killing, which was my main use for Reddit anyway.

  • You have been banned from [random large subreddit] for pointing out something that threatens the hivemind POV.

    Honestly, that was my biggest problem with the community. Granted, that's great when someone is being a genuine asshole, but over the last decade or so, it has become a little ridiculous.
