I competed in a tiny lil Olympic sport no one outside of the shooting sports has ever heard of (double trap). Wasn’t nearly good enough to attend international competition, but the competitor pool was small and I knew plenty who did.
The IOC and the Olympics are nothing more than a scam. I respect the athletes dedication but after seeing the IOC’s scumfuckery up close I have 0 interest in the Olympics.
The only way I can see to do it is either stripping long-standing free functionality from other users, or making it completely pointless.
Can you elaborate on this?
r/place was special enough to me that it was the only reason I stopped at deleting my content, instead of full-on deleting my account.
It just feels so hollow this year. Not sure if its all the anger, the clear repetition for corporate motives, or both.
Notably, the blobs all appear at seemingly the exact same time. Just… plonk, a random patch of noise on the art.
I might could live with repetitive if it wasn’t for the anger. I’ve got a 2’x2’ print of 2022’s canvas sitting next to my desk, and I still get lost in it every now and then. Just another trip exploring a new canvas could be fun.
But then I open the page and 15% of it is just “fuck spez” and everyone is angry. Rightfully so, but… I just don’t feel it anymore.
I think it felt fine in 2022, the five year gap was long enough. But this year… it just feels hollow to me. Can’t tell if that’s from repetition or just me being burnt out on Reddit, or both.
So Reddit is going to go from letting users pay them to put lil .gifs on a post and letting a user see more comments at once, to paying users for their content.
Yeah that sounds like it’ll really increase profit, I can’t see any way that math doesn’t check out /s.
Lmao he already got banned
I have noticed more and more [deleted] messages in older threads lately. I was trying to do some Rimworld modding, and the threads relevant to my questions were 1-5 years old, ~20 upvotes, and 2-3 positively voted top level comments. Almost all of them had a [deleted] comment.
I want it to be Reddit 2.0 in the sense that I can find active communities for specific or niche interests. Before July 1, the smallest subs that I participated in to have similar communities here were ones that had ~400k subscribers on Reddit.
The value of Reddit was never in the 1M+ communities, any content there was usually present elsewhere, and the discussions rapidly became dumpster fires. It was in the smaller dedicated subs for topics that might not have another human-centric discussion forum.
I get advocacy and I think this is a major point in the API changes, but the blind community deserves better than to just be ammo for this fight.
Double check your profile languages are set properly. Almost every community off .world looked dead to me at first, but then I realized it was filtering every post flagged with a language I didn’t have and .world doesn’t give you English by default.
The communities are still tiny, but it was a major help.
You can search by community, even from other instances!

More devices, content, and people are online than ever before, and the user experience has never been worse. It is one of the most significant advancements in human history, and its not-so-slowly going to shit because of corporate greed.
It’s Google’s right to serve ads however they want, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t call for a competitor that doesn’t treat users like garbage.
This was so bad it actually prompted modders to backport all of the 1.19 features to 1.18.
This has been a thing for every major modern version. Its faster for a single enterprising dev to backport things than for the entire mod scene to update to a new version. I distinctly remember playing Blackgear’s Caves and Cliffs Backport on 1.16.
There are, however, Forge/Fabric mods that completely remove the reporting system.
Used to be “Squabbles”. It, Lemmy, and Discuit were three of the major Reddit alternatives thrown around during the Reddit protests.
