Yeah. One ethnic group is responsible for all the bad things. I wish people like you stayed on Reddit.

The internet is almost unrecognizable from what it was 20 years ago.

Sounds like a promising venture for wallstreetbets people

I feel like playing No Doubt's Don't Speak on repeat. It is a weird collective mourning we're going through.

I keep saying it but this is more emotional than I would have thought. It's an end to an era. And RIF and the other apps helped us all connect, laugh, cry, vent, argue, meme and stuff together. The app devs were as much responsible for the success and entertainment of reddit as reddit itself. It's a weird.

"Market trends". One greedy dipshit does it and the rest follow suit. Like spez looking up to Elon.

The ravenous attempts to squeeze the last of the blood from the stones.

IRC doesn't have gif support and let's be honest. Emojis might be an optional requirement for some people, but gifs are the foundation of communication for a lot of people these days.

Honestly, it's really hard to say what will happen. I do think there's gonna be an exodus from reddit, however it's hard to say where people will go after that. kbin has been coming up in discussions about reddit alternatives, but same with some of the other federated setups. I've been searching for the past week for something that looks/feels like reddit and this is the closest thing so far. I will say, hopefully since it's going down on a Friday, there might be a lull until Monday before people really start coming in.

Jesus Christ. You sound like one of my old in person support clients.

I'm on kbin. It's just... lightweight reddit basically. I dig it. The one thing we're all going to lose is the content from 15 years of reddit though. Can't just magically recreate or replace that in any short time frame.

RIF was part of my life for a decade. It's crazy how emotional this experience has been. It feels like losing a home, a community, everything because some fuckface won't find a compromise.
