Yeah, that’s literally the entire point. If the subs are unusable, site traffic falls, Huffman makes less money and looks worse to the investors, and people find better alternatives like here.
I’m just your average Canadian arctic wolf. I’m a siren enthusiast and railfan as my main hobbies. I run the Civil Defense Sirens Wiki, and am working on restoring a few vintage sirens (such as a FS&S Model L and a rare Sterling Siren MOD. F) as well as a 1970s Safetran mechanical crossing bell.

Always used RIF, the stock Reddit app has always been unusably terrible.
There’s definitely some hardcore shilling and astroturfing in a lot of subs where blackouts and John Oliver memes have become the norm. People with no posting history, brand new accounts and low karma accounts have flooded in to insult the mods and attack the protest.
I haven’t used Reddit for more than 5 minutes since the blackout. The site clearly has absolutely zero interest in changing their terrible decisions, and they’ve shown their hand to everyone. I’m fully moved onto the Fediverse, and I feel all the better for it. I’d been using RIF since 2019, and I refuse to use the stock Reddit app. The community here is wonderful.
It’s an inherently self-destructive, unsustainable ideology. None of them think that they’ll become a victim of their own ideology until the Gestapo knocks on their door.
Animated child porn. Absolutely fucking revolting that they allow that.
Basically playground bullies who never matured beyond that mentality.
“JAQing off”, as I’ve seen it be referred to. It’s always in bad faith.
They know they’re acting like dicks, they’re openly proud and revel in it and it’s a core, fundamental part of who they are. Hateful bigots such as them don’t have any interest in changing who they are or improving their behaviour, they will just shift the goalposts and double down every time they are challenged. It’s been proven time and time again that they are not looking to be reasonable.
And I haven’t seen a single post that’s just memes about why they pirate or how morally superior we are for doing so. It’s a breath of fresh air.
Exactly. r/thedonald started as a tiny joke sub started by 4Chan that wasn’t dealt with until it became a festering cesspool of hate that became big enough to be a serious problem, brigading other subs and spreading hateful rhetoric. It has to be nipped in the bud and made clear that it is not welcome.
What’s that old saying… “You can’t reason with somebody who is in a position they didn’t reason themselves into”. They’re not willing to change their minds or have a real discussion, the goalposts will just be moved time and time again when their hateful ideas are challenged.
He’s very clearly just here to troll, not to provide any actual perspective or discussion.
It’s what I’ve always used, and it hasn’t given me much trouble. The only annoying thing it does sometimes is get stuck at 0kb/s, but that’s fixed by just pausing and unpausing the download. It supports magnet links natively as well and can auto-detect when you click on one to download.
I certainly think it will be, enshittification has become a problem that’s plaguing so many platforms and companies, and more and more people are becoming aware of it.
And like cancer, it will eventually kill its host once things are beyond saving.
Have you not been paying attention to what’s been going on? The protests have done serious damage to Reddit’s reputation, the viability of its IPO, and is causing a significant drop in the number of users. Not to mention the loss of content creators and moderators who are necessary for the site to function. The protests are intentionally making the site unusable to bore and drive out those who are reasonable, and leaving only those who shill for and lick the boots of Spez and the rest of the incompetent administration team. And without content to consume, those people will leave as well.
