What I always think about these morons is that we propose a test. Since they have super healthy bodies, or so they claim, they should be totally resistant to whatever virus or bacteria we expose them to. So, how about we expose them to the worst viruses or bacteria we know about and see who wins?
I wouldn’t say users are stupid to still be using Reddit. There’s still alot more activity there and alot of subs still haven’t switched over yet. But if they start requiring identity verification, I think we’ll see alot more switching. Right now, I do both to get the best of both worlds. If I have to give them my identity, they get cut out.
The good news is that if the fediverse gets an influx of Redditors, maybe we’ll see some of those niches pop up here too. Reddit’s impending identity theft coupled with the insane enforcement of rule 1 they’ve been doing lately is what got me to make my account here.
I mean, I got a 3 day ban (R1) for joking that we should shoot robot dogs guarding AI datacenters. It’s literally not one of the categories that is even supposed to apply - it’s neither a person, nor a place, nor some kind of animal. And that was my second account after my first got banned for similar sorts of jokes (yes, some were people, all were obviously jokes). Yeah, they’re going crazy overboard with enforcement on that. Subreddits need to start moving over now.
That’s part of why I made my account here. Might as well start getting familiar with the alternative. That and the mods on Reddit are out of control handing out bans for jokes about violence. Like the other day, I joked we should shoot robot dogs and got handed a site wide 3 day ban.
You haven’t seen some of the theories coming out of the Epstein files? There’s a bunch of really rich and powerful people in there making a weirdly big deal about jerky. These are the sort of people that have assistants, servants, and the like to take care of their every need and want. So, for them to be emailing each other about something as mundane as jerky is really weird. Oh and a chef closely associated with Epstein has a restaurant called the Cannibal. There’s also some accusations, not sure how believable they are, from people who claim to have been around Epstein’s operations and that they had witnessed or heard from a fellow employee that kids were getting killed and eaten.
