I don’t know, size made it pretty bad. Subreddits with hundreds of thousands or more users create environments where no one is trying to have a discussion. People are just vying for attention. That creates an environment where comments are either all jokes, or all snark. It’s really, really hard to have anything that resembles a human experience in a place like that. People stop recognizing each other as people, and just treat everyone as an audience.
That makes for a pretty bad experience.
new disclosure called "car2shell" (driving to the gas station)
Out today: “It’s not like you’re saying, I’m just going to fix this right now and I’m going to put all my people in charge. It doesn’t work that way. There’s going to be a lot of persuasion. And I’ve known Gina Hinojosa a long time. She’s a smart, savvy politician.” https://www.texasobserver.org/gina-hinojosa-governor-powers-greg-abbott/
I have to do physical therapy again for my neck/shoulder area. Apparently I tend to sit with my head "too forward" but since I've probably done this my whole life unlearning it might be next to impossible....
But the real kick in the face is that my insurance is $110 every time I visit. They would really like me to come twice a week - $220 a week! For like... months, potentially.
Impossible to afford. So I have to settle for once a week which by itself disrupts our near 0-sum budget.
@bigzaphod I have the same terrible posture :\

I am sure it was the content from consenting adults that got the sub banned www.reddit.com/r/slavetrade/.
Listen - I am not saying you can’t have fetishes and consenting adults cannot enjoy fetishes together, I am saying reddit is a cesspool of people trying to play off horrific abuse as fetishes and this is very well documented.
reddit is made of people, yes.
do you think those types of things were unique to reddit or something? i just get so confused when people make these things, like… what is your thought here? reddit should have never allowed this stuff ever in the first place, and that they ever did at all ever, means reddit is forever awful and horrible, and so is anyone who ever used the site, even if they lurked?

Reddit is genuinely terrible now. Have you visited recently? All is removed, posts and comments default to sorting by best instead of hot (which mixes minutes-old posts with week-old posts), there’s an algorithmic For You feed, there are constant popups to log in or use the app…
And after all that, the content you’re looking at was probably posted by a bot.
@AbandonedAmerica There is a parallel in aviation...liners like this were the Concorde. As long as the rich could make the rest of us fans of their toys, they were awesome. But the minute their toys weren't cutting edge, they threw them away.
The 747 gave world travel to the middle class, killing the Concorde AND the ocean liner.
What an amazing ship this was though. Like the Concorde, sleek and beautiful and unimaginable powerful.
But never for us.
@W6KME I agree with most of what you're saying, but ocean liners transported more people than aircraft and there were options other than first class. I've heard from a bunch of people lucky enough to have sailed on the SS US who weren't filthy rich. It did have that set of passengers, absolutely, but they weren't the only ones on board. Catering to the middle and lower economic classes was a very viable business strategy in the postwar years. Necessary, even.

reddit is still great
My Reddit account is 18 years old and I can tell you that Reddit hasn’t been “great” since 2013; the year of Drumpf vs HIllDawg for US President. Heck I still have over 2 years of “Reddit Premium” from the zillions of tokens I got back when they gave those away.
I was never ejected, still haven’t been, and I moderated some noteable subs. The API debacle and the shutdown of unofficial apps was my last straw. I removed myself from all the mod teams I was on and bailed over to Lemmy.
Reddit still has some cool communities but as a platform it’s best days are long gone. At this point its coasting on inertia just like Facebook.
Okay as I'm planning out my next book of photography
who all of you would buy a physical copy?
@aurynn What kinds of subject matter will be in it?
@th0ma5 I will ponder this thank you
@mcc Sorry for the extra reply I have to pay like $20+ to get rid of it responsibly and traffic is worse there lol ... I need to take my car to hamfest honestly. It is https://www.hpmuseum.net/display_item.php?hw=80 ... It is only 8x14 I have the 11x14 model. Tons of Silhouettes on my FB Marketplace I got mine in the parking lot of a grocery store for like $30 and it still has their etsy store logo on it. Best of luck! It honestly is sort of that gear trap TBH
