Good morning pocket friends

Damn I remember that Nicole thing, feels like its almost ancient lore at this point.

@robert_bantin And speaking of lottery, since I was looking at the dashboard, these are the winners of the last 30 days, by number of plays (literally lottery, I believe no users or admins are influencing what plays when, although the podium looks very suspicious and maybe @socool found her ways, or die nmi...): 😄

@kopper @cheeaun I must have dreamt it

it's _wild_ how much basic understanding I lacked about human relationships long after I was technically an adult. even now I'm still struggling to learn how to identify which people are good for me and which ones aren't in certain ways.

@bigzaphod cellular?

ME: Maybe I could load Risc OS on this Raspberry Pi 400 and it could be a nice corner of tech I could explore away from things that depress me.

ALSOME: AH; here is a 95 thesis from a prominent member of the Risc OS community, rage quitting all of their projects because of systemic abuse of LGBTQ participants and rampant AI.

reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).

the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.

another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.

size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.

we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

How do you get lunch after shutting down the city, including restaurants and supermarkets? You cook big pots of food. Here in a squatted plot turned into a green oasis since 2014 in densely populated El Raval and now the base for the local strike committee as well as weekly soup kitchens for the people of the street. These kind of sustained initiatives make the general strike possible. A saying comes to mind: "Never strike above your own ability to self-organize".

Gooooood morning, slaves!

1/3 — SPAIN

Spain woke up to a GENERAL FUCKIN STRIKE!

Workers demanding affordable housing and decent wages blocked roads and distribution centres, while burning barricades lit up the streets!

At Mercamadrid, riot cops busted out the pepper spray.

Apparently landlords can charge luxury-resort prices for broom closets, but workers demanding a roof over their heads get the CHEMICAL SEASONING!

THE RENT IS TOO DAMN HIGH!

@baldur Though almost everything we can manufacture can be almost infinitely cheap, mostly it isn't and premium labels exist for everything (and aren't always just marketing)

We are excited to report the recent launch of Black Onions, a new site listing anarchist and anti-authoritarian onion websites.

Onion websites are a great tool against surveillance and censorship! They do not use the State-controlled domain name system, and they allow anonymizing the location of a website's server, equivalent to how Tor Browser anonymizes your location when you visit the website.

Visit Black Onions at any of the following addresses:
- https://blackonions.gd
- https://blackonions.li
- https://blackonions.st

Follow @blackonions to learn about new and updated onion addresses.

the subs i was involved would add mods via the ‘who is the least offensive and the most popular’ criteria… which let to awful mods, because those folks were ones who had no idea how to mod and basically were like ‘if someone doesn’t like it, it’s bad’. which basically led to them not moderating on rules or principles, but purely on their own personal preferences.

it’s amazing how many communities were so great, and then immediately some new mod would come up and start banning all the previous users and posts they didn’t personally like. oh, and if the mod was friends with a abusive user? they had free reign or would grant them mod. sometimes it was so bad and egregious users would revolt, or other mods would have to remove the new mod. one sub I was on had a well-known rapist who was never banned because they had done the mods personal IRL favors, basically to secure their hunting ground and anytime a new victim posted about how this person drugged them, the mods would immediately remove it and cover it up and deny it, and then when another use posted the police report(s) that person was banned… this rapist user would also regularly go on rants about how men are all rapists and rape is terrible and try to report others for ‘rapey’ comments… and the rapist in question was a poly woman, so you had the whole ‘women can’t rape anyone’ ‘she’s so progressive, she can’t rape people’ nonsense come up and that was the ‘line’ one of the mods defending this person would claim.

reddit worked when mods kept apart from the users and didn’t have personal relationships with the users. but people are shitty and can’t help themselves. for all the good stuff that came from those subreddits, they all had dark sides full of shitty awful people who were using the community to exploit and abuse other people IRL.
