Did I upset you when I was fast and loose on the grammar conventions at 1 in the morning? How does it make you feel when you talk down to people?
Edit: To answer your question, yeah that hostility was obvious at first glance. Just decided to give you the benefit of the doubt, because some people miss grammar conventions, other people miss social conventions, doesn’t mean either deserve to be treated as lesser.
You’re a good friend. I’d just send screen recordings if I ever wanted to share something.
Exactly, they have this habit of making things worse for its userbase to consolidate more control over the value we made for them. I can’t help but feel a kinship with the domestication of cows, ‘cool all my favorite grass and cows, huh that fence is new, damn they’re starting to milk us pretty hard, shit are we stuck here?’
Cool thanks anyways. Edit: sorry that was rude of me. You might’ve been genuinely trying to help, if so, thanks. Judging from your first point though this only seems to be condescending and derails the conversation, hope that wasn’t your intention but that’s how you came across to me.
I’m just saying the choice to host instead of letting res or 3rd party apps clean up the interface while they built a huge archive for the low low price of archiving links and conversations. It was inflated more than it could sustain without becoming more commodified so it kept doing that and here we are.
I think Reddit’s biggest mistake wasn’t the API moves, but image and video hosting. I can’t even guess how much more it costs them to have all of those unnecessary features to be what? Anon Facebook?
And indexing is gonna be a big hurdle. Reddits search was pretty abismal but there have been posts here I was telling people about and since I didn’t upvote them or comment they just are basically gone forever.
For now I think if we all try to keep an engagement quota soon enough the snowball will start pushing itself
Spez used a monkey paw, reddit’s gonna last forever just getting more and more useless.
How do you think they survived long enough to give you their fears of outside and nature’s uncaring cold floral sirens song? You face them the same way they face you, staring at their feet and smiling without showing teeth.
Probably for the best Rhododendron’s hate dogs
I think a lot of people are, too. Sure there are plenty of IS_RICKs that are getting the message out, but it’s not as many as last time and next time will be even less. Once searching on the fediverse gets better I won’t even miss it.
Thanks, you too. I’ve slept though, I’m rested, the two days migraines let up which is nice.
Free friendly advice: Look you might be cynical, but this kind of behavior isn’t cynicism and saying that it is is a cop out. It’s unprovoked hostility. It’s helped me to pay attention to those kinds of impulses. Is it pattern in your interactions? You’ll be a happier person when you’re aware and work on the ways that you belittle and alienate other people, even strangers on the internet. If that came across in anyway other than encouraging friendly advice that wasn’t my intention and I truly hope you have a wonderful day, stranger. Best and better yet, we all want a kinder internet!
