Reddit will be also used along with it until it’s demise

If people keep using it, it won’t die. That’s how websites that like work. Stop using reddit.

So many reddit mods were angry power-hungry assholes. I don’t feel sorry for them just as much as I don’t feel sorry for reddit’s hopeventual collapse. I can’t count how many times I had BS moderation enacted, then when I was perfectly civil, usually just asking for basic clarification as to why something was removed, was instantly silenced from further communication with the mods with threats of potential removal from participation in the sub or reddit entirely. I am not alone in this experience.

I run a discord server and freely explain to user that they are welcome to disagree with me, openly and freely, as while I run this unofficial community server about an event I don’t own/operate,

The same is for a reddit mod, especially for broad topics and localities.

Unfortunately I do see the potential for similar behavior here in the fediverse. I can’t say I know how to address it entirely, but I know I can act the way that’s fair to the community of which I am only an administrator, not a ruler nor creator.

Those cases are so cool, but rather expensive. I can’t even get my Classic running, let alone get a new shell for it

Question, is MiceChat connected to Disney corporate in any way, or are they a fully independent website, of/by/for disney fans?

I hope you see where I’m going with this question and the fact they are the largest community, still around from the “bygone era of the internet”. If you allow FB/IG/Threads to gain their foothold, you will not be around 20 years later. If MiceChat had integrated into FB/Reddit/etc, they would not be around anymore, especially not in the independent way they are.

btw, I wasn’t arguing in bad faith. the idea of the power hungry power mod of reddit is a widely known concept. Immediately trying to disregard my argument on that continues to show your fragility in your control of your community.

Idk if you’re familiar with GenCon, a board game convention in Indy, but I’ve run the unofficial Discord server since 2017. While not even close to as big as the official server, made in 2020, the users have stayed on our little server and we still gain new users each summer. The thing is, I don’t run the server like some big corpo project, but literally as a diy space where people can feel comfortable asking questions and getting to know each other, myself included. I don’t ban folks without community input, because while I have the sole power to do so, it’s not my community, it’s ours. GenCon LLC has never reached out to me, because I’m not trying to do what they do, and I don’t care about them because of the same reason. I’d wouldn’t mind having a larger number of users, but at the same time, I’d rather keep the community feel homegrown, and not artificially inseminated (with money).

To bring it all around again, kbin and the fediverse works because it is homegrown and community based. Waaaaaaaay back when, Reddit was the same, but being centralized, that will cause problems, thus the problems of the past months. kbin and the fediverse at large (not so much just the AP protocol) will continue to succeed without corpo takeover and influence. It can breed discussion and community without trying to make money off of it. Give them an inch, and they will redefine what an inch is so that it includes all inches in perpetuity.

and thus the entire issue with reddit. The glory of the fediverse is that there can be competition. You do not work for Disney, you do not own Disney. The community is not yours because you got to it first. If you want to own a Disney forum, start your own website.

We should not be allowing FB/IG to gain their foothold on the work of other people, yet again, so they can eventually take control once it’s too late to stop them. Especially not because it would help your own ego and foothold on a community you do not own.

Except next time it’ll just be someone worse than trump, so we’ll have to support Harris as she’s the best candidate to defeat whomever. That’s how it always is with the dems. “Vote for us now and we’ll totally be able to fix things in the future!”. Then they never do. I’m not a republican voter, but I’m on the fence about Biden again. I’d rather “throw my vote away” by voting 3rd party than succumb to corpo dems. Hell Biden said he would forgive the loans, but he was the one who helped make it so you can’t declare bankruptcy on said loans in the first place. Not to mention the dems not holding their ground in the capitol and allowing more and more bullshit through. Enough is enough.

ugh, self promotion by sharing your own website. barf

Pittsburgh is not the Midwest, it’s literally in a coastal state. Lmao

I mean that’s fair, but I sold my launch switch because I can play switch games on my PC better than the switch and almost as well on the deck. fair trade for all the other PC games I can run on the deck.

the deck can play all of those other systems’ games too lol

no one brought up the US. Plenty of old homes and apartments don’t have AC. You can buy them yourself and stick it in the window. Plenty of non white folk in the US have AC. hth

unfettered capitalism has not, and will not work except for those already at the top.

stop posting about reddit. let it die and move on.

Out of the box it’ll perform as well as the switch it’s emulating. No, it’s won’t perform better than the system it’s emulating OOTB as that’s not the goal. You can get better performance than the system it emulates by copying some simple files to a folder, but that seems to be too much work for you as those would be hoops you have to jump through, as if this is some sort of bureaucracy you have to fight through.

If you just wanted to know how to do it, you can ask without being disrespectful to those who put the time into making it possible for you.

It’s a privately owned site, they can do whatever the fuck they want. Power tripping mods have been a problem this whole time anyway. I’m glad reddit is dying and i’m glad the mods are too.

are random mods owed control over reddit communities? I’m very happy for the protests, but also happy that the power tripping mods are losing that power. It’s a win-win.

this is my design page buddy

lol who gives a shit man. reddit is dead. You’ve lost your power. get over it. go get a real job

I mean, it was easy for me too, but the other commenter was complaining about having to jump through hoops as if they are the ones writing the code. It set me off as it’s disrespectful af to the devs of the main project, and the mods.

It’s hard to tell what easy means for a lot of folks. I assumed that someone asking for it to be easy couldn’t spend a few mins checking google to see what was involved.
