As they say

Reduce, reuse, recycle!

You forgot the Bill “now the largest owner of arable land in the US” Gates

They’re such a crybaby is it worth even engaging any further?

• signal to noise ratio

It feels a bit like how Reddit was prior to the digg exodus when overnight pun & lyric threads, ascii art and terminally shit one word responses appeared.

There is the awareness to the benefit of building slowly will bring, rather than having a an uncontrolled mass exodus, that risks little to no integration to the current curated culture.

• Transparency

You can see who the mods are and a mod log and currently, people are giving time to grow the communities rather than welding power.

• Quality content

It’s not the same stories getting posted by karma farmers or by bots. It’s more curated.

• Interactions

They’re more conversational than adversarial

You could write that as 1 line:

[ -z "$var" ] && echo "empty" || echo "no it aint"

Thats because youre an insufferable elitist bore

Theres plenty of people who complain about drivers who get ticketed for using a mobile while at lights or stopped in traffic (think of the comments on a particular uk cycle cammer who films drivers using their mobiles then reports them) but it plays heavily with situational awareness & drivers ability to “check back in” to the activity of driving.

I would tell anecdotes and stories that wandered off into the woods & an old friend said I had ‘tangentism’

Upon looking at it again, I see it just wants me to type in “what is skibidi toilet” into Google,

More of a Simple Simon Says… really

We have the mandatory security training at my company and they said it was going to be revised after a few of us showed how the advice it gave was insecure and incorrect!

The main programmer got the job because of nepotism as well!

The best thing would be if Reddit goes the way of Digg.

Well, it has already. The only reason it hasn’t fully imploded & all the users deserted for another site, is because there wasn’t an equivalent place to go to.

They were sort of parallel in development but digg blew up and Reddit didn’t then Digg took a quick hard turn towards enshitification.

Reddit has done the enshitification but like a parasitic infected spider, it’s wandering about and most of the users haven’t realised yet that it’s an empty shell.

It’s slow demise would be better in the long run than a quick collapse like Diggs so it’s now putrid culture is not transmitted with an enmass exodus.
